advice on a LBC

Hello, i've received a letter before claim for a PCN received on
6th March 2025. The initial appeal wasn't accepted because it
was out of timeframe, as the owner of the property that has the
car park agreed to get it cancelled so i didn't submit one
within 28 days & now this pub has closed down so I have no way
of contacting them, but an appeal was sent via email and they
just refused which i've shown a copy of.
the reason for the ticket is they said my parking wasn't
validated/unpaid, however i am appealing that the driver did
enter the reg on the tablet on the premises and there is no
option for confirmation/receipt, but they do have bank
statements evidencing that they were a paying customer on the
date in question on the premises to prove they were using the
car park legitimately.
we received a 2nd fine from the same place later last year,
appealed within timeframe & it was successfully cancelled on the
same appeal grounds.
Now i've heard nothing for over a year and just received a
letter before claim. Does anyone have advice on how I should
proceed?

Your appeal was not to "Ezeepark" who would have accepted an
appeal within their 28 day window, but to "paymyparkingcharge",
otherwise known as ZZPS, who are just debt collectors who have
nothing else to do with this issue.
If you intend to submit a defence to a county court claim, you
should send a short response to the Letter Before Claim along
the lines of (see
HTML https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/pd_pre-action_conduct#6.1)
--- Quote ---
> the defendant responding within a reasonable time – 14 days in
a straight forward case and no more than 3 months in a very
complex one. The reply should include confirmation as to whether
the claim is accepted and, if it is not accepted, the reasons
why, together with an explanation as to which facts and parts of
the claim are disputed
--- End Quote ---
Please also post the entirety of the PCN, not just the bits you
have posted. If there is to be a defence based on the failings
of the PCN, we need to see it all (less personal details of
course).

letter and the reason is exactly the same if that helps

You may want to consider sending a Subject Access Request to the
parking company ("EZEE Park") for all personal information they
hold on you, which will include the full original PCN. Your
posting of a similar one is helpful, though.

You might not get a reply to your SAR in time for that. Wait as
long as you can before the deadline, but if you hear nothing
back, you can still respond to the LBC denying the debt.
