I only just found this forum and need help on what I should do now and next.

Please excuse my ignorance or any perceived stupidity - I read the newbies section and tried delving deeper but there is so much information I got a bit confused.

Driver was in different city (150 miles away), parked near shopping retail park - paid for ticket (lost it), overstayed 20 mins.

1. Received parking charge letter from from ParkingEye last year to pay £100.
2. Appealed online - didn't state driver , said not paying - no contract/agreement, didn't see signs.
3. Received email of reduced offer of £20 - didn't pay.
4. Received Notice of debt Recovery letter from DCBL in Dec 2022 to pay £170. Called them saying not paying and to tell their client to take it to court.
5. Received second letter from DCBL in Jan 2023 to pay £170. Called them saying not paying and to tell their client to take it to court.
6. Received Final notice of debt recovery letter from DCBL in Feb 15th 2022 to pay £170.

What is the best course of action now?  Please remember 

Thank you in advance.

Ignore anything from DCB Limited (debt collectors), come back if you receive anything from DCB Legal (solicitors). The NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, fourth post, tells you about the debt collector stage you are now at.

Complain to the landowner to get this cancelled, like this person just did (and LOADS before them):

They were about to get a court claim but still got the landowner to step in and stop the scam with one email.
