I have received Letter of Claim from BW legal. Im not sure if my defence will be any good because I just completely forgot to pay for my parking that day, I didnt even notice the parking signs. Should I just pay the £160 they have requested for and get it over with or should I defend it?

Defend it because the added £60 is false.

A LBC doesn't necessarily get followed by a claim (so you might never get a claim) and precisely because a DRA or BW has inflated the claim by £60, the difference if you actually got a court claim, defended and lost is negligible. 

Do respond at the END of the 30 days, asking for their evidence and saying you are "seeking debt advice".

That adds a further 30 days and should get the case pushed beyond the time when the new statutory draft Impact Assessment gets published...

...which (to be clear) I am GUESSING but I am quietly confident - and it's an educated guess/hope - that reason will continue to prevail re the added false fees, as it did in 2022 when the scales finally fell from thd DLUHC's eyes on this 'fees'  issue.

I honestly think that the draft Impact Assessment will put the cat among the pigeons for pending inflated court claims.

So you may as well try the above and see.
