UKCPS parking fine

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hi I received a parking fine on my windows from UKCPS back in November 2012.
I searched the sites and was advised to ignore the letters and threats that were due to come my way!
These letters finally stopped in January 2013 when I was threatened with a letter from "court proceedings limited London".
I still ignored this and have heard nothing from the since. Until Yesterday when I get a letter from "the Miah Solicitors" saying that I have to pay £275 within 14 days.
Google searches have directed me to a parking fine help website saying that they can help if I fill in forms , as they see that this company is a fraud.
Now on here I see that I maybe should have not ignored it? Im so confused, when I originally looked I was directed to ignore now maybe not?
They have left me alone for over a year, nearly 2 and now are harassing?
What should I do??
Many thanks in advanc

The advice on this site has been NOT to ignore for nearly two years as the law changed.

Indeed MSE are trying to sort it out - but in the interim by quoting another posters unreadable text - you can see what is being said.
Take coupon's post #4 above on the thread reads like this on my pc:

You cannot however quote and rectify your own posts...
Alternatively - what a great way to post on the parking forum without the PPCs seeing what is being said.... rather like typing in code
