Letter before legal action

I received a letter today from DRP who have been instructed by UK Parking Control to get immediate settlement of £160. This is for a parking charge from 4/2/14, so more than 3 years ago, it's the first letter I have received since mid 2014.
The letter states that if I don't pay in the next 14 days it will be recommended that it is referred to their solicitor to commence court proceedings.
I am in Scotland and have ignored all previous letters (I no longer have them as I recently discarded them as I didn't expect to hear anything anymore after such a long period). I am slightly panicked as recently someone in my town received court action regarding parking charges and it was enforced, it was a sizeable sum.
Should I be doing anything or carry on ignoring it?
Thank you

read the NEWBIES sticky thread , and

As long as the driver isn't identified, as you live in Scotland, the registered keeper is bombproof. Do as Redx advises.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.
