Hmmm.  You didn’t owe £160.  UKPC had never incurred a £60 loss or costs.

Acknowledge the claim as per the usual advice and send DCBLegal an email confirming your phone call and reminding them that even ‘steamroller roboclaim’ firms like them should have the due diligence to check with their client to see if the alleged claim has been settled, before ploughing on with a court claim automatically.  Tell them you don’t appreciate being scammed, then blamed for paying the Claimant firm, who accepted the payment.

Finish by giving them seven days to discontinue or you will defend and counterclaim.

100% this!

Why should you be punished/ harassed/ threatened with spurious legal action because these greedy morons are too lazy to communicate between each other!  DCBL were chasing an invoice which has been paid...then some (the £60 that you paid was added on by DCBL and not UKPC so they have no right to it just as DCBL don't! 

Really the parking company should be giving back £60 as they are not legally entitled to it!  The DCBL lot? Well that is a civil dispute between them and their clients UKPC.  They have no right dragging you into 3rd party business disputes and demanding money from you because they are sore losers!  They did not recover the "debt" because you ignored their waffle as were already dealing with their client. They CANNOT take you to court because the invoice is settled and nearly every court in the land knows their £60 admin/ Debt recovery/ VAT administration add-on charge is an ABUSE OF PROCESS.  Let them clowns run and turn it on them!
