Carflow Parking Fine - Not able to pay for parking

Hello,
I have read the newbies thread but before I send off the template response I just wanted to check in here first.
I received the fine via mail, as there was a number plate recognition camera in place.
I tried to pay for my parking when I arrived but was unable to do so via their website using my credit card. When I inserted my CC details into their website i recieved an error message from their site. I took a screen shot of this message (see attached).
I tried using a different card but got the same message (but did not take a screenshot of the 2nd error message).
Thinking that the payment system was broken (there is a cash payment machine onsite, but I didn't have cash with me) they would not fine me so I parked and went into town for a few hours.
Alas a few weeks later I got the fine in the post.
Can I use the screenshot of the payment error due to their system in the appeal? or should I use the templated version.
Thanks

Write an honest appeal saying who was driving and attaching your evidence, and offer to pay £15 to cover the DVLA look up and the automated PCN letter cost, plus the £2 (or whatever) you tried hard to pay.
They'll probably cancel and accept that.

You've received an invoice for an alleged debt. Nowhere does it mention the word "fine". It is only a "fine" in your mind, possibly because you are a victim of this scamming parking industry.
This is simply a civil matter. Nothing criminal about it. No "fines", just invoices and alleged debts.
