I hired a moving company, they got a ticket, no signed contract.
Am I liable?

Hello,
I hired a moving company a month ago to move me from one
apartment to another, the service was fine, no complaints, but
no a month later they're asking me to pay a 100 pound PCN that
came in through the mail. There was no formal contract or
agreement signed, it was simply agreed upon via email and paid
via sort code. He's threatening me with legal action despite my
almost certainty that I am not liable for this ticket. He also
says it will affect my credit, which is not possible considering
it isn't my vehicle, and I didn't instruct him to park
illegally. Screenshots attached. I'm like 99% sure I can ignore
this guy, but I am not from the UK so I want to be sure

There was a contract but it’s unlikely that they can pursue you
through the courts for the fine as they should be able to claim
the unloading exemption, or if that wasn’t available should have
been professional enough to organise a temporary permit. (That’s
if it’s a council pcn)

It’s an old rule that person A can’t sue person B to recover a
penalty that person A had to pay. That refers to penalties under
the criminal law but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be the same
for a PCN - that is why Parliament provided for transfer of
liability by statute.
In any case, absent a contractual clause making you liable, why
would you be liable for his negligent and/or unlawful conduct?

£100 suggests it's a private parking invoice that probably can
be seen off. More fool them if they've paid it. If not direct
them to:
