    I assume that you are joking about trying to claim money

    Counted now on the discontinuation thread. Thanks @lotsofrain1 for showing us your NoD. 👍
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    You know how badly you had parked, so UKPC were not wrong in asking you to pay.  By ignoring their 'invoice' you have incurred other costs - namely debt collectors and solicitors costs.  By refusing to settle before going to court, you are now looking at £270 plus court costs and no doubt other fees and charges.
    I think it's unlikely you are able to appeal against the court ruling because the evidence is clear.   You admit you parked "so badly".
    If I was you I'd pay the £270 now and breathe a sigh of relief.
    Luckily, the OP took the regular posters' advice and paid nothing.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
