MET Parking PCN - McDonald's Leytonstone

Hello all, this is my first post. Unfortunately, I received a ticket for leaving the premises. I was so naive to admit it in my first appeal to the company. Both my appeals then were rejected by the company and POPLA. I read other threads regarding fighting back points, however, I am not sure if I didn't mess it up already by my admission. There is a similar case to mine (VCS v Ibbotson) but I am not sure if it is enough in my case. I only was away for like 15 min. max. Paying £100 for 15 min. While I appearnly had 90 min parking allowance!
I feel messed up though 😩

    hopefully if a court claim happens you will win with our help, probably via a discontinuance a few weeks before the hearing date, so come back to this thread if you receive a formal LoC or court claim within the next 6 years

    Ignore it and the £170 threatograms. Only contact them if you move house, as you must check each letter is merely a debt demand.

    As @Gr1pr rightly says, come back if you receive a formal LoC or court claim within the next 6 years.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I was thinking to wrote a formal complaint stating some defensive points in hope to make them withdraw their charge, if it doesn't benefit it won't harm!

    Doesn't usually work, they follow a process,  a roboclaim process thar rarely takes in the pros and cons,  but is a game of chicken
