The driver entered a Holiday Inn car park on 25/03/21, stayed in the car to make a call and left after 15ish mins. Received a PCN on 11/04/21 dated 07/04/21. I believe an email was sent to UKPS to dispute this and no response back was received. I don’t have a record of this being appealed using POPLA. Received 3 letters in May/June 2025 from Trace debt recovery requesting £160. Received a Letter Before Claim dated 29/07/25 from Moorside Legal requesting £170. Please advise how best to proceed.

The car park attendant put my details in the pay machine when the app wasn’t working. I paid but then received a PCN for ‘no valid payment’ as it turned out the attendant only put the first half of the car registration in. I told him my full registration several times.
I appealed and they declined, same with POPLA.
5 debt recovery letters received asking for £170.
A letter from ZZPS last week and then GCTT this morning stating it’ll be passed to solicitors.
I don’t know if I can appeal to GCTT?

The driver parked on December 1st. A ticket was bought online. This fine was received today in the post and issued on January 16th.  No email receipt to confirm parking was paid for but the credit card statement shows it was paid. I want to know how properly to respond to this please.

Edit- this is the first notice received.
This document is addressed to the registered car owner.
Thank you
