Letter from Miah but no knowledge of incident

Options
My position is a bit different as out of the blue I have received a letter from Miah on behalf of UKCPS for an offence that occurred over two years ago and of which I have no knowledge. I never received a ticket or any other correspondence. I had an earlier run in with UKCPS relating to same car park as this alleged offence and was again for failing to display a disabled badge in a disabled parking space. I appealed by sending a copy of my badge but they insisted that I paid the fine. On advice given by this forum I ignored all further correspondence and eventually it stopped. Now out of the blue I've received this letter.
Do I ring Miah and go over this story or do I start sending letters as outlined in this forum?

    'My position is a bit different ' - no, it isn't sheavesy.

    Don't ring them - you know this really.

    Old stuff's being resurrected by the shovelful atm by this knight of justice.

    Didn't know if I should phone them and at least advise them that I know nothing about the incident they are referring to.

    Never, never, ever phone a debt collector. Please follow advice!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Fine for me, but this village is a known dead spot, whether or not that is responsible here.
    You can just follow the advice, as spelled out.

    Yessssss...of course the link has expired...because it was a search of the word MIAH which only lasts as long as the next time it's typed into a thread!
    It's not a long-term link - it would have worked for minutes only. You don't need links; I always says that, any newbies relying on links to be handed out on this forum board is pointless, as it doesn't help you learn how the forum works best for you. Ampersand meant for you to replicate her search - put Miah into 'search this forum', the heading next to 'forum tools' on the right above the sticky threads on page one (which you get to using the 'Forum Jump' & clicking 'GO' - bottom right).

    For the love of God don't PHONE a debt collector which is what Miah are acting as, in this instance.

    Do the search learn how to use the forum so you can learn from it and find stuff. If you've had enough today then start afresh tomorrow and do the search. This boring letter has been discussed to death during September so there are LOADS of matches when you search for it yourself. All your queries will be answered and you will see this bunch for the 'chancers' they really are.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
