Help with ZZPS & Bank Park

Hi all - I do apologise if any of this has inevitably been covered already. I have read the newbies thread and as much info as possible and found myself drowning a little! 

I have been couch surfing with friends the past few weeks around the UK and just returned home to find several letters following a Parking Charge I had previously received (and subequently forgotten all about!) from the 31st March with Bank Park. 

The latest letter is from ZZPS demanding a payment of £170. 

I realise I have messed up by not acting sooner with appeals and complaints to the landowner. As stated, I have read the newbies thread and know that this ZZPS letter is mostly a load of hot steam. 

To clarify - The initial parking violation was 29th March. 1st letter from Bank Park was 10th April and the second was 9th May. ZZPS letter is from 28th May. 

My question is - Given how late I am in the process of acting on any of this, is it too late to still try and attempt to get out of this? I really don't have much of an excuse other than the signage at the car park being pretty hard to spot as I did stay an hour.... and again I realise I am very late on acting on any of this so just wondering if there is any shot still?

Any advice would be much appreciated! 

Thanks

    Just follow the advice given in post 4 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum,  ignore the debt collectors letters,  too late for anything meaningful,  especially if plan A failed

    Just ignore ZZPS as per the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread but you will have to open every letter in good time, once it moves onto DCB Legal or Moorside LBC stage (see the 2nd post of the NEWBIES thread for that).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
