Hi Forum!

NEWBIE here, never been in this situation before, help appreciated.

history...

1. I entered into a private car park at 17:23 last year as I was staying at a hotel at Cambridge North - PCN attached. This was the only car park available, not owned by hotel
2. I paid what I thought was the correct amount via the APP on credit card and received no confirmation text or receipt
3. I received the below letter saying I had overstayed - 'partial payment'
4. I went back to look at the car park signs and it looks like I was supposed to get up from bed early next morning (12:01 am) to extend my ticket for the next day as it ran out at midnight
5. I sent a recorded Royal Mail letter to challenge, to the address stated on the PCN (Manchester PO Box 5538)
6. The letter was returned twice 'addressee gone away'
7. I understand if I defend this and lose I can still pay (maybe more though) and NOT get a CCJ?
8. The original fine was £60 now they want £255-00, sounds too much!
9. I have requested more time to defend this morning so should have an extra 28 days

Hello and thanks for replying. Are saying that even though I have received a CLAIM FORM from the Court I can still just pay £60 and walk away?

Just to be clear:

1. I have received a claim form from the County Court with a response pack
2. I have not contacted anyone since the alleged parking offence, except for the above appeal letter which was returned twice, as the wrong address to appeal to was on the NCP PCN (sent recorded so I have records 'gone away')
3. I have now sent an AOS and asked for an extension
