Advice on Euro Car Parks ticket – overstay by 24 minutes

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice regarding a parking charge notice
I’ve received from Euro Car Parks.
•
bought a ticket from 13:57 to 15:57.
•
paying for another hour until 17:19.
•
24-minute period unpaid for. This was an honest mistake; I had
no intention of avoiding payment.
•
rejected, and they’ve confirmed their internal appeals process
is now closed.
My question: Should I escalate this to the independent appeals
service (POPLA / IAS), or just pay the reduced fine while I can?
I’d appreciate any guidance from people who have experience with
Euro Car Parks or private parking charges.
Thanks in advance!

In the appeal was the driver`s ID given?

If you pay this, you are a fool and your money! No one pays a
penny to ECP if they follow the advice, even if they blabbed the
drivers identity in their appeal.
If all you are interested in is the mugs discount, then you are
a lost cause. Paying a speculative invoice from an unregulated
private parking firm just because they make an offer of a
discount is ridiculous.
Of course you appeal to POPLA, for what it's worth. You may get
lucky. Depending on whether the driver has been identified or
not, you can search the forum for other POPLA appeals and give
one a go. However, in most cases with ECP, you will not be
successful at POPLA.
A POPLA decision is not binding on the appellant. Where this is
won is after a county courts claim has been issued and defended.
The claim will, 99.9% for sure, be struck out or discontinued
before they have to pay the £27 trial fee.
