Check that it's not statutory, if not, ignore them, they are extortionists. You will receive a series of increasingly threatening letters from different enforcement agencies and bailiffs, probably all bearing the same illegible signature. Ignore them all. It's a game of numbers; they are counting on frightening a proportion of the gullible into paying them.

Smear it in Marmite and send it back. They'll think you've wiped your arriss on it.

Care Parking also look after the White Rose Centre car park in Leeds.

As long as it's not a Leeds City Council authorised PCN then ignore it.

Parking is not the same as stopping to let someone out. Just as you can (in theory) be nicked for talking on a mobile when sitting in the car with the engine running, you cannot be done for parking when you haven't turned off the ignition (summarising hugely).

If it's a no parking zone, they are not only powerless but wrong. If it's a no stopping zone, they might be right but their relative lack of power probably still makes it pretty worthless.

IMO, at least.

also, if their 'rules' state you must be in a space, then you weren't, thus you weren't parked.

however they might then try and fine you for not parking in a space...

OP if it was on private land, ignore it, it can't be enforced, do no write to them. Check out the extremely long thread on the Money saving expert website.

I got one of these so called fines about two years ago, they sent me seven "official"looking letters I ignored them all and nothing happened. Not a sausage. Bugger all.
