Letter Before Claim from Elms Legal

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hello,
At the end of March this year I received a Final Reminder from Excel Parking for an event at the end of January despite not having received any letters prior. I sent them a SAR and they sent A Notice to Keeper they purport to have sent along with some photos. Shortly after receiving the response to the SAR Elms Legal have sent me a letter before claim for the same.
The vehicle was mine but was written off after another driver collided with it while it was parked last year. Their insurance company bought the car from me and later sold it at auction. Upon receiving the final reminder I contacted the DVLA who told me the keeper details had never been updated. This has now been rectified and they confirmed another ticket had been issued from a different company (SIP Parking Limited) which I am now also in receipt of.
I find the wording amusing, it seems to imply the vehicle itself breached the terms and conditions so they issued it with a notice. I didn't know inanimate objects had gained sentience and can enter into contracts!
I'm drafting a response now based on a search of recent posts. Does anyone know what email address to send it to? Should I include documentary evidence that the vehicle was not mine at the time? Is there anything I'd be advised to include in addition?
Thanks in advance

And for the SIP one because they sue too.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
