The worst thing you can do with these leeches is write to them and admit that you were parked on their land. Like I've said,it is a civil matter and private companies can't "fine" you.
I don't think you legally have to pay any fine unless it is formally issued directly by a government department (police,court , council , HMRC).
They never claim it to be a fine, it`s as you said earlier a breech of contract and they are invoicing you for losses. If you don`t pay, worst they can do is take you to small claims court.
