Parking fine from 2011

Received a debt collection letter recently asking for £100 for outstanding payment to Vehicle Control Services. I had no idea what this was about so asked for evidence which they then provided. Turns out I apparently had a parking fine in 2011 and they had photos of my car. They also enclosed a previous letter I had apparently been sent demanding £120. The difference in the amounts they are demanding is also confusing. I have no knowledge of this and I am unsure what rights Vehicle Control Services have as it was almost 4 years ago now. Please can somebody advise me on the best course of action?

See the NEWBIES thread, the section about debt collectors.
This is a 2011 claim, so way before keeper liability (POFA) came about. They're simply on a fishing mission. IGNORE them completely, and DO NOT contact them again in any way whatsoever ... the more you engage with them the longer they'll harass you.0 -
How about a written complaint to your local council Trading Standards Department.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0
