If it's from a private firm then simply ignore it, they have no way of enforcing it . I have had plenty and simply don't pay. If it's from the council parking enforcement then address the matter as they take it all the way and the bailiffs they get are from the high court and they can take possetion of goods and gain entry into your house. For council tickets they also operate in stopping cars that owe money and take control of your car (provided that you own the car) . Private firms can also get debt collection agencies to try similar approach but they can't get the power to enter your house provided you don't let them in or leave a door open. These also try and worry you to paying the fine threaten you with all sorts ccj and the like. But in my experience of about 4 private tickets nothing has come of it (first one about 8 years ago)
All of this is my personal experience and I ain't quoting 100% fact here. Maybe some other posters have felt the consequences of acting similar to private firms.

I had this happen to me about 2 years ago, I parked in a private resident car park as my mother in law lived their, she said there would be no problem. I received a parking fine a week later from a private firm asking for about the same amount as you. in normal circumstances I would of just paid it if I had been in the wrong but dug my heels in over this one as I was not going to be charged for visiting family. firstly go on to youtube and look up private car park fines, it will give you loads of knowledge. secondly these private car park firms have no legal rights to charge you which I found hard to believe when I first had my fine, they sent me threatening letter after letter but I was told to just completely ignore it all and they would go away, which in the end they did, do not cave into them, they will threaten you with court action but would never proceed with it as the costs are not worth their time, they just live on the hope people will pay the fine which most people without knowledge will do. hope this helps.

Thanks Ed
Just that I have never revived a parking fine in the post before. The only times in the past I got one it was attached to the window screen.
