UKPC sent me another letter

The defendant drove inside the parking lot and engine had turned off due to battery issues, where the defendant waited for another person to arrive to jump start the vehicle. Along with this the defendant did not receive any letters of the pcn charge, then received a £170 fine from the claimant as well as letters from solicitors, this fine is extremely high and unjust.

The defendant drove and stopped his vehicle due to an unforeseen mechanical issue, where the defendant had to change the wheel. This unexpected situation demanded immediate attention for both safety reasons and the x-being of other road users. 

Also it says on the claim that i agreed to pay within 28 days?

You need to decide whether you had a battery issue or a wheel issue!  The terms and conditions posted on the signs will state that by parking you agreed to the t&Cs and part of that was paying in 28 days.

I hope you are telling the truth. 

Remember this is court; look at the statement of truth wording you are signing under...

Reminder of a post by OP on page 3 in answer to a question from C-m:-

"Its more of a private car park but i parked there for prayer, but parked at visitor parking thinking it was okay but i never received any ukpc letter until the price had gone up and i refuse to pay this much"

The OP needs to think very carefully before finalising the defence and signing the Statement of Truth, otherwise he could be facing a lot more than a parking charge!

The OP has now stated three excuses as to why they parked here, I think he needs to stop making things up and get serious!

Battery issue did exist at that point but that (above) was the main reason hence why im asking on what to write

I'm sorry - you are in danger of losing us here - you must state the truth in your defence.

It is not a parking lot!  Receipt of letters after the event do not count as a defence some time earlier, however the fact that you suffered a mechanical failure (well the car did) counts as a small vicissitude.  Look for Jopson v Homeguard and relate that to your case: -

Extract from 9GF0A9E
Neither party was able to direct the court to any authority on the meaning of the word “park”. However, the Shorter Oxford Dictionary has the following: “To leave a vehicle in a carpark or other reserved space” and “To leave in a suitable place until required.” The concept of parking, as opposed to stopping, is that of leaving a car for some duration of time beyond that needed for getting in or out of it, loading or unloading it, and perhaps coping with some vicissitude of short duration, such as changing a wheel in the event of a puncture. Merely to stop a vehicle cannot be to park it; otherwise traffic jams would consist of lines of parked cars. 

Exchange "changing a wheel" for "changing a flat battery" and you have your case!

The bottom part tells me to exchange the battery to the tyre thats why i put the tyre???? Ive wrote me real reason why i parked there the battery issue was there when turning on the car but it wasn’t the reason why i parked there so when i wrote battery its the truth it literally says there to exchange it to tyre which i did??

i parked there for prayer, but parked at visitor parking thinking it was okay but i never received any ukpc letter until the price had gone up and i refuse to pay this much along with that my car was struggling to start aswell as i had an ongoing battery issue.

thats the reason i mentioned this and it was ignored, which is why im asking what to write as i don’t know what to say which will make this go away or in my favour
