Now would you recommend me to pay it or take it to the court, if it’s the latter option what will be the worst scenario?
There is no court, you right of appeal is to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
However you need to first challenge the PCN by making an informal representation, then if that is rejected you wait for the Notice to Owner and make a formal representation against that.
Only if the formal representations are rejected is there then a right to appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
As long as representations are made against the PCN & the Notice to Owner within 14 days of the date of issue of each document, then the discount is normally reoffered, so there's limited risk in making representations to the council. It's only if you appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal that it becomes all or nothing, but before then the council might make a procedural error at the representations stage.
As I said above for the informal representations, you may want to use the
strategy of last resort which we can help with, but you'd need to give us some mitigation (assuming you have any).
