Wrong! Parking eye is the ONLY company you do not ignore now. They are the only ones who are stupid enough to take you to court and although they will not win, its a hell of a lot of hassle.
Write an appeal letter to them stating that you do not believe the PCN (don't call it a fine, its not a fine. Its merely an invoice inviting you to give them money) cost reflects the revenue lost by the company who owns the car park.
Also ask them for calibration proof of the ANPR used in and out of the car park for you for that day (assuming thats how they got you?) and also, a copy of the written request from the land owner that they wish parking eye to manage their land.
If they can supply you with all of this (which they won't), then you get a POPLA code (search POPLA and read the process) and they will take a look at it and basically say, piss off parking eye, this is not worth £60. Your fine is invalid.
Chances are though after your letter requesting proof etc, they will just write back saying they are dropping the fine.
Edit: Just for everyone else, all other companies can be ignored providing they are directly corresponding with you. I've been stung with this with my work car as its registered under the lease companies name. Thankfully i emailed Euro car parks telling them i was the driver and to correspond with me from now on and haven't heard from them since

Edit again: And how do i know all this? I get these fines all the time. If I'm honest, I'm a wanker when it comes to parking and working in central London every day, i take every opportunity possible to park on private land....unless its managed by parking eye.
