That is a debt collector letter - refer to the NEWBIE sticky for advice on what to do with it.  BTW you have left your name showing.

Thank you! I have removed now. I will have a look now, I think that previous advice also confirmed if it’s from their Legal company to take action but I note they use ‘legal’ in their wording. 

But yours is from DCB Ltd.  Follow the advice by @Umkomaas

As the date of the original parking event was 24/08/2015, you are within 29 days of the whole thing timing out (after 6 years) as a consequence of the Limitations Act 1980. 

String them along with some innate (bl00dy predictive text!) inane questions to 24/08/2021, then they can go swivel.  There is no danger of this getting to court. 

Thank you so much! I will ask some questions you guys are so great thank you so much.

They are asking for an extra £60 which is very likely to be unlawful, read this,and complain to your MP

Excel v Wilkinson

At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.
