PCN - debt recovery

Hi,
In the last two months, I received two letters from debt recovery firm DCBL regarding an alleged "parking charge notice", naming a location and date but giving no other details.
This is the first I had heard of the alleged PCN.
The letters did not provide any further details about the breach or who had issued it.
I subsequently contacted DCBL asking for any further information. This was ignored and the company continued to press me for payment.
I once again replied saying I did not recognise the claim and the company eventually replied saying it would seek this information.
After some weeks, it replied this month attaching the original "notice to keeper". This was the first I knew of the PCN, given that it had been sent to an address that I do not live at. The PCN was issued SIX MONTHS AGO in June by the company Civil Enforcement.
The PCN contains photographs of a car and times, as well as the claim that parking was not paid in accordance with conditions at the site. There is no information.
DCBL is not claiming I owe them £170, despite this being the first time I have seen details of the PCN, more than six months after it was issued.
Is this acceptable? Are there issues provoked by the incorrect address/times, fact that I have had multiple debt recovery correspondences before even being told what the PCN is?
