Parking Eye fine - King's Lynn

hi, I have recently got a parking eye fine for being in a car park a few minutes longer than I should've. I have seen other threads saying to ignore them and not pay, but i am bit worried on if that's the right thing to do. Please can someone advise me on the best form of action to take!

any help would be really appreciated!

    Send the blue text template appeal from the newbies thread as the keeper.

    Go back to the store with the driver's receipts and complain to the management. Tell them that they are in danger of losing a valued customer as parking is too expensive. Let them know that all your friends and family are watching for the reaction of the store management before deciding whether they can continue to shop there.

    If the instore manager won't help, go to head office. Write to the CEO.

    Maybe complain to the site management too Stick st nicholas retail park kings lynn into google to find them.

    Do not disclose the identity of the driver.

    And having now read the NEWBIES thread people are asked to read first before posting, you now know what to do BEFORE you appeal.

    Please don't ask where the NEWBIES thread is. I don't have the coloured writing below, for fun.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
