#2 [BAILIFF] PCN Islington - restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone - outdated V5C address

Hello all,Car has been taken by bailiffs. This is because of non-payment of a PCN from last year. I didn't receive communications due to not updating the address in the V5C.I understand that this is my mistake. HOWEVER, since finding out about it I can see that the PCN was incorrectly issued. I am pictured driving in a pedestrian zone, which I am allowed to do (and have done consistently) due to holding a resident's parking permit. I have checked and this resident's permit was valid at the time of the offence.I am considering sending a statutory declaration out of time, but don't want to get in further trouble for not previously updating it. I'd rather not pay £700 to the bailiffs but it beats £1000 for failure to update.Am I likely to win this if I appeal? And is it a good idea to update the V5C right now?
