Britannia ANPR cameras recorded incorrect entry and exit times/dates

On 8th September 25 at 12:40pm I entered a Waitrose car park, did a 3 point turn and exited straight away. The next morning, 9th September 25 I did the same thing at 8:13am. According to Britannia’s ANPR I entered on 8th September at 12:40pm and didn’t leave until 9th September at 8:13am. They are trying to charge me £95 for overstaying!! Their cameras are clearly faulty and failed to record my entry and exit correctly. How can I contest this? I can’t prove I wasn’t there as I don’t have a dash cam or any cctv at my address.

    Double dip. First port of call - the manager of Waitrose. Tell him/her of the absurdity of this charge. Get him/her to cancel. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Ok thanks, I’ll give that a try first. Never heard of double dip but if this is common enough to have a term for it that gives me hope!
