"One question for you, was your wife in the wrong when she received the PCN?"

Is that relevant?

It was relevant to my interpretation of the tone of his letter

I've sent them a letter as recommended by ipanter.

They should receive this tomorrow by Recorded Delivery (so I know they've received it ) and I've included just my email address, requesting they get back to me within 7 days (the same period of time they've provided me to appeal the notice) otherwise I will assume the matter to be dropped.

If they wish to pursue it beyond this then they will need to pay the DVLA for my details

As a matter of interest, how long does it normally take these companies to obtain your details from DVLA and start writing their threatening letters to you?

Also, in the near-zero chance that they do take me to court over the "contravention" I didn't actually make, is there a timescale in which they have to do this? Or in which they have to contact me initially? Or could they bring the matter up at any point in the future and suddenly decide to pursue it?

As there is no law regulating private parking they can decide what they want and do it when they want. Now you've contacted them they will consider you a "hooked fish" and pursue you more than if you had just ignored them as you were advised. Just file all papers rec'd and get on with life, its too short to worry about someone trying to part you from your hard earned cash.
