Hi
I took my DC to get something to eat earlier this month so that my oldest could meet her Dad for the first time in 9 years. The plan was that we would have a quick lunch and then go shopping but we ended up staying in there longer than intended. We were there the full 2 hours and did not leave to go anywhere else, just lost track of time.
I have received a parking charge notice this morning that does clearly show my car and number plate with the time I arrived and the time I left. I do not dispute that I stayed longer than I should have. It is for £100, £50 is I pay within 14 days.
I googled and an article in the daily mail says that it is not legal and they can only get the money if it is awarded through a court. Lots of comments are saying to just ignore it. My worry is that if I ignore it now I could end up paying hundreds of pounds more later on.
Thank you.

Received a parking charge for staying too long at McDonalds, do I need to pay it?
