I did used to partake in Parking Roulette where you park where you like, but if its your week to pay the fine you pay the fine!
I'm not saying ignore, I am saying if you intend not to pay ignore.
I just pay parking fines straight away unless I can find a very good reason not to.
My point was that if you do not intend to pay the bill then conversing with them is just a complete waste of time.
While you keep responding they will keep replying.
If you have decided that you are not paying then just sit tight, ignore them and see what happens.

We got one of these tickets. For us the clear point was we were aware of the potential charges in advance, signs were clear and while it was annoying AF it was hard to think of a reasonable justification to not pay it.
I looked at a lot of forum discussions about it too and it seems like so many people have come up with ways of trying to avoid it they have closed a large number of the loopholes and will now continue to go after people as they know if they don't then other people won't pay.

I'm no expert but I think this was his mistake, and because of it we may all suffer from now on.
"Mr Beavis, who owns the Happy Haddock in Billericay, launched legal action against the private car park's operators insisting the fine was disproportionate and excessive."
I don't know the fine details but if he started the legal action he was a fool.

The guy has got a point, what is the definition of excessive?
£100? £250? £1000?
They will push the fines as high as they can.
There should be max fines of a multiple of the time you overstayed by.
10 times seems fair to me

By law the maximum penalty in public-run car parks is £70 outside London, £130 inside so the court's position is likely to be that £85 for private-run facilities is not excessive.
