I’d add (just in case the DJ says “but if you couldn’t pay, you shouldn’t have parked”):

“The situation being compounded by the app appearing to allow payment, with a countdown timer for the period ‘paid for’ appearing”.

 

Have you offered to pay the fee the app should have taken but didn’t?

 

If they were stupid enough to take it to court I’d invite the judge to find that they were entitled to that fee, and only that fee, but [contrary to the usual guideline of costs ‘in the case’] you were entitled to the {limited} costs available in the small claims track.

They’d ‘win’ : but only for the parking fee, you’d win : by them being the ones an order of judgment was made against!

Let it run, (and go to court if need be)

 

Don’t let the worry about credit report concern you. Even if it went to court, even if you then lost (unlikely), a judgement only goes onto the register if you then fail to pay it within 30 days.

 

Caveat : you MUST notify them if you move / change addresses. You don’t want the scenario where they serve papers to a “last known address” and you don’t get to see them.

If they send papers to an address they know isn’t current, any subsequent judgment that occurs due to them not giving you an opportunity to respond can be ‘set-aside’.
