I've had loads of tickets off private companies asking for fines, note that if its a council charge (Penalty Charge Notice) then unless you have grounds of complaint, id pay.
If its private land and the ticket is from a private company acting on behalf of the land owner (IE. Hospitals in North ran by Parking Eye LTD). These tickets, take them as a scare mongering tactic. you are in no way obliged to pay the ticket, it may look official but its an invoice asking for your money, not a charge. I have ignored about 4 letters from them on 2 separate occasions, if you don't reply, you tend to get 2 reminder letters then nothing after that.
They are a con and a way of recouping money from sources other than the facilities it holds.
lots of videos of these idiots trying to give parking tickets out.
