Court Action for "not entering registration correctly"

I am being taken to court by Tap2Park/I Park services.  I parked and paid on the app.  The app took my money and I didn't go over my time.  I then was bombarded by letter after letter requesting payment and charges because I did not put my correct registration in.  I am 100% sure I did AND the app took my money.  The car on the picture is mine!
they are saying that I did not enter my registration and I owe them £160.  The Club where I parked said they would get this revoked, so I ignored more letters.  I then appealed and it was rejected.  Now I have been issued papers from them saying they are taking me to Court. 
I have said that I believe there was a problem with the app, why would it take my money if I only put part of my registration in??
I feel like I am being bullied and did not expect to be taken to Court when I paid!! 
You may not have any answers for me, because it is too far down the line, but how come these companies can do this?!!!

    Plan A still applies. Complain to the landowner (again) and your MP. It is not too late for the landowner to cancel, and this can be done right up until the day of the court hearing.

  • Thank you for your comments. I will be visiting the site tomorrow where the car park was.  It is a Conservative Club (!). The email (dated 30/10/23) states that "the court will direct both parties to each file a directions questionnaire" which the claimant has already filed. I feel I have spent so much time trying to sort this out. So unfair!
