Final demand issued by Alliance-Parking for a PCN issued over 21 months ago

Hi,
In June 2023, I received a PCN for a parking charge relating to an overstay on the 31st May 2023 at a privately owed car park in Cornwall. I am the registered keeper but I was not the driver at the time, so I immediately returned the PCN with the actual drivers name and address.
Since then I have heard nothing from Alliance-Parking until I received a Final Demand from them yesterday in the post (21 months later). They threaten that if I don't pay £100 by 02/04/2025 they will forward the case to Litigation and commence County Court Proceedings.
The driver who I had named has received no correspondence at all from Alliance-Parking.
I stupidly did not make a copy of the original PCN nor did I return the details of the actual driver by recorded delivery.
I tried to make an appeal via their website portal but this was not allowed, I assume due to the time that had passed since the original PCN.
Where do I stand?
Thanks in advance.

Do nothing. Just wait for any letter before claim /claim1

Alternatively, reply and transfer liability again (full name and address of driver) but ONLY if they would be a stronger person to come on here and get help to defend any claim.
Please show us Alliance's letter. I want to see how they word their court threats.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

However if they have already transfered liability then they have a complete defence in my view.
Is it up to the parking firm to prove non receipt0 -
Ta. Quite mild for that lot. Ignore.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
