I believe that NCP have complied with 9(2) f...transcripts below of POFA and the NTK.

9(2)f....

(f)warn the keeper that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice is given—

(i)the amount of the unpaid parking charges specified under paragraph (d) has not been paid in full, and

(ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver,

the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid;

NCP NTK

Please be warned: that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the Notice is given (i) the amount of the unpaid Parking Charge specified in this Notice has not been paid in full, and (ii) we do not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, we will have the right to recover from you, so much of that Parking Charge as remains unpaid.

Assuming that NTK was served correctly, the only argument I can think of is that the machine was out of order and insufficient signage.  I have taken external photos of the signage, and the terms and conditions are so small as to be illegible, but the car park has been closed since lockdown so there would probably be other signs near the ticket machine.

As long as that NTK was received at your house by day 14 then yes, that's served as per the POFA.  Surprising, but well worth checking!

Machines not working and unclear signs (and abuse of process due to the exaggerated quantum) are a solid defence though.

I appreciate your reminder.  I have tried not to give any more info than necessary.
