Civil Enforcement - COWBOYS What can I do 12 months later?

In January 2023 I traveled to Warrington from my then home in Wigan to visit a friend overnight.
I entered a car park, eventually located relevant signage to find out how to pay for the parking, which involved...

• Reading the sign high up on a wall in the dark without my reading glasses
• Downloading the relevant app
• Registering my details
• Registering my bank card details
• Paying for overnight parking.

Some time later I received a PCN notice from CEltd. where made multiple attempts,pts to call them and report my payment.
I was asked to email an appeal which I did providing my receipt taken from the app, which the company declined, stating the payment was nearly 15 minutes after entering the car park.
I asked them to review CCTV which would prove I didn't leave the car park and was doing all of the above.

I refused to pay the escalated fine, and we are now in 2024 and I am now being pursued by QDR Solicitors, who I have engaged with completely, advising of my case, and providing the evidence, which they have stated cannot be accepted, they advise me to pay the £170 or be forced into entering legal action against me with will incur more costly charges.

I am not niece enough to recognise that I am not alone here, but QDR stated that I have no other option.
I contacted POPLA this week who turned me away as the PCN is over 12 months now and expired, and I have emailed the BPA for support.
Is there anything I can do?
If I could afford it at this point id maybe consider paying it to get them off my back, but this is what these company's want....can anyone help?

Thank You for listening!

Apologies I realised I was not in the right thread the other one can be deleted

You just defend the court claim.  Stop engaging with QDR who aren't worthy of your time.

This is easier than you think - no CCJ risk and no huge costs despite what they told you - and we do court defences every day. Read a few threads about claims.  Stop talking to QDR.
