Can you show us a photo of the letter?  Wondering if it threatens legal action.

Of course! Apologies for the crudeness of the picture, I'm on my phone with no access to a scanner at the moment.

they can send letters for ever and ever , nothing to stop them , as there is an aledged debt 
they can instigate a court case after 6 yrs , the judge may ask why? , all they have to do is answer correctly and case will commence , not all judges are clued up 

Thanks for the heads up. I do understand that this may not be the end of the matter. However, if they do instigate a court action then I assume it should just be a case of responding to the papers accordingly with the relevant information.

that letter breaks uk laws and needs reporting 

they are STATING that they WILL start legal action , and if payment not recieved by jan 15th they are INSTRUCTED  by the PPC 
at present BW are just threatening , however the parking co have INSTRUCTED bw to start court action , very very naughty

Let's put it this way ..... they can waste their money sending you letters about their fake claim till the cows come home.  FAKE CLAIM ..... of course it is, they added a fake £60 
The courts already know about BWL and that is why the judges dismiss their cases

There are some judges who fail to understand the parking scam.   HOWEVER judges will fully understand the

Limitation Act 1980

....  it's the law ....

I believe that she has had letters previously threatening legal action, however it was pretty obvious they were just the usual scare tactics. This is the first from BWL and the only one where it appears PPS have instructed them to issue a claim should a payment not be forthcoming. From searching through other posts it appears as though this is a practice BWL have been keen to employ over the past couple of years.

I will happily report this to the SRA and see what they have to say. Other than the date issue discussed and the false £60 charge they have added (on the second page), is there anything else worth highlighting to them?

not worth hightlighting , but IF you get a letter basck from SRA , expect it bto be a coverup , where they say there was a "XX" month delay due to covid , in sending letter out and it should have been done within 6 yrs

Many have complained to the SRA about the fake £60 add-on who have been satisfied that "the client instructed them"
I don't think that anyone has said to the SRA that the reason they say for the £60 is that "the ATA code of practice says they can" ..... this is misleading the court because the code of practice only relates to the PPC and does NOT form a contract for the motorist .... regardless of what PPC signs say.

Well that changes things slightly.
I'd still wait, but after Xmas will do as you have till 15 Jan to pay up.
Just hammers the nails home with a response letter dated 2021
2021 - 2014 = 7 leaves little to be argued...
(yeah I know it's only 6 and a bit but there you go)

Definitely report it to the SRA and ONLY quote the fact they are knowingly threatening a claim in the county court, when they know that more than 6 years has already passed.  Don't add anything else, don't complain about adding £60, don't muddy the waters. 

JUST report the fact they are threatening a court claim when they know the time for that is expired.
