ZZPS debt recovery after no first UKPC letter but 2nd UKPC letter chasing (No reply to appeal!)

In June I was in a car park/industrial estate that was 2 hours parking FREE.

The gym confirmed I signed in that day but for some reason the car park tablet to enter the number plate
didn't work to stay longer than 2 hours. 

I never got UKPC's car park's first letter telling me of this fine. 

The first letter I received was a "2nd letter" which raised the fine.

I then recieved the 1st letter which clearly took 1 month to get to me by the date.

I appealed saying that I didn't get the first letter

I haven't heard back.

Now I have a ZZPS letter with a £170 fine.

I have been reading here not to engage with ZZPS but should I chase up with UKPC about my appeal?

    Yes, use the complaint link on the BPA AOS members list and complain about it to ukpc, as keeper 

    Ignore the powerless debt collectors letters

    Not had any reply from the UKPC's complaint email. How long should it be given for reply? 28 days? (Also had a 2nd letter from ZZPS which is being ignored)

    Also if the next step is to call UKPC, any guidence not to lead the call into anything worse. We are willing to pay the 14 days cool off price of £40 as its a gunuine mistake but didn't have the chance as recieved the 1st letter 1 month after original date of the letter

    Thanks

    Wait 28 days.

    There is literally NO POINT in this process when we'd ever tell you to phone UKPC, let alone offer money!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
