Thank you, given the deadline of 15 November 2024 on the DRP letter, and assuming no success with PALS and Local MP, could I simply call UKCPM and request that I pay the reduced amount to settle the case?

Why do you think there is a deadline with a dimwit so called debt collection company that have no powers, don't own a debt, and you have no debt.

There is no "offence" or "fine" stop thinking along those lines, and never ever phone a debt collector or a parking company they will effectively mute your side of the conversation and tell you to pay the maximum, you are not dealing with reasonable people here only greedy bullies!

Sorry...what?  PAY??

Of course not. Where did you read that?

Thank you for the comments especially the previous 2 from @coupon-mad and @fisherjim. The easy thing to do is pay, but I guess that's the "trap" and how these firms makes money. I am just trying to get my head around the fact that I have breached a rule, whether its legal or not, which was a genuine error on my part, but I should hold firm and not pay these outrageously inflated fines.

Please stop referring to this as a fine, it's basically an invoice for damages or a charge, "fine" gives a different connotation and people research the forum for their own information get the wrong idea.
