Had a couple of laters saying to pay fine but client adamant they always send those and not to bother...Now had letter from debt collection agency
The lesson here is not to believe what other people say. Per the earlier chat, you should keep on top of the paperwork. My success was on one of those schemes where you have to register your plate with the operator, if you actually have records to this effect you'd have succeeded at the initial challenge stage. The thieving scumbags seem to send payment demands to everybody because a lot will just pay up, but even they know they haven't got a leg to stand on if you've complied with the terms.

Have an email from the parking company saying they've received our number plate and we should count that email as permission to go beyond the normal parking period.
Then you'll be fine.
Debt collection agency will send threatening letters, huff and puff a bit and promise repeatedly that the next thing they'll do is take you to court. A year so later there's a slim chance they might even get as far as raising a claim, at which point you can remind them again you had permission from the parking company which you've told them about, and that you look forward to reminding them of that yet again if they do continue the claim. They'll go quiet for another 6 months then they'll fuck off a day or two before the court date is due.

Exactly.

Parked somewhere for work recently. Have an email from the parking company saying they've received our number plate and we should count that email as permission to go beyond the normal parking period.
Parked there for two consecutive days. Had a couple of laters saying to pay fine but client adamant they always send those and not to bother. They also received another email from parking co saying we were registered to stay longer on both days.
Now had letter from debt collection agency. Apart from paying and adding it to invoice, how do I make it go away as I have no real desire to pay about 500 quid to these cunts? Also I'd have to pay on behalf of the other crew vehicle (I subcontracted crew), so about a grand total.
But equally don't want a default or anything on my already shit credit rating. Presuming credit rating wouldn't be impacted until it goes to court, at which case an email from the original parking company before they passed it on to the debt collection co should suffice?
