Show us the back of the NtK. Does it have a PoFA statement?

I have noticed that I have made a lot of mistake now I've got a
clearer mind than before when I received the letters. Emotion
took over and mind was clouded. I do remember mentioning about
how stupid I was to decline the offer of having my vehicle
registered for the free parking, I believe that would be on the
additional paper that I didn't take a photo off to refer to.
So I take for now, ignore the letter they have sent me about the
proposal and just go to court and attempt to defend it.
Edit - see attached to the back of the NTK, yes they have put
POFA.

I don't think you have much chance if this goes all the way to a
hearing and damage limitation is the best course of action for
now. I will wait and see if anyone else disagrees and suggest
another route.
However, given the admission of driver identity, absence of
early appeal, and a weak initial defence, the cost of an N244
(£303) to request an amendment to your defence would be
disproportionate and unlikely to yield a significantly better
outcome. The most strategic route now is damage control.
I would suggest you send the following to the ParkingEye legal
team and wait and see what response you get:

Depending on what they come back with, we can advise further at
that time.

Ok, instead of Panicking and sending things off straight away I
should done a bit of research.
Yeah with the fees to amend my defence is not worth it compared
to paying the fine off.
I will send that to their email, only issue is their response
time isn't that great, it is very slow, just hoping they would
respond quick.
Also thank you all for the advice given so far. Really fo
appreciate it!

Agreed - the defence essentially admits to the contravention
alleged. Negotiating seems sensible.

Just a quick update.
I have received an email in regards to a confidential telephone
mediation appointment. Can I assume this is where I can
negotiate to resolve this without going to court?
Thanks in advance
