I paid for parking!

Looking for some advice please. I parked in a hospital car park back in February and paid for my parking before I left.
A few weeks later I received a fine from the parking company for not paying for my parking.
I appealed it, it got rejected.

Have since appealed at every opportunity I’ve been given, and I’m now at the point where I can’t appeal any further and they are threatening court if I don’t pay the £130.
I am not paying a fine for parking that I paid for and have proof of paying!
What’s my next steps? Let them take me to court?
I don’t want a CCJ but I most definitely won’t be paying a fine for parking I paid for!

1. It's not a fine.
2. You only get a ccj IF it goes to court AND IF you lose and then IF YOU don't pay within 28 days - so don't wortrk about that.
3. Have you complained to the hospital?2 -
Which parking company ? Which hospital ?
Definitely wasn't a fine, just a pcn invoice from a private parking company ( magistrates issue fines )
What was the alleged breach of the parking contract listed on the NTK PCN letter ?
Perhaps it was a VRM error , or machine fault ?
Why didn't you complain about it to PALS or to the Trust itself, get it done ASAP , known as plan A

Have you read the newbees thread especially this section:
1. ALL CASES, EVERYWHERE - COMPLAIN FIRST, ESPECIALLY OVER A RETAIL, HOTEL, OR HOSPITAL CAR PARK:
Always complain to the Retailer very quickly. This is 'Plan A' :
Successful complaints about private parking tickets - how to get them cancelled! <<< CLICK
It can be easy and quick to get these cancelled by a landowner. If the charge was at a Hospital then immediately complain to PALS (Google it and find their local contact).3 -
