Dept Recovery Plus demanding payment

Options
Good afternoon forum,
Seeking any comments or advice.
I have received a letter from Dept Recovery Plus asking me  to pay my debt for Parking Charges.
This something new to me as I have never received any Parking Charges letters or there was no asking Ticket on my car attached. Now the charge stands at £170.00 and if I don't pay (Dept Recovery Plus will take Legal Action and pass the matter to County Court).
How I suppose to act in this situation.
Thank you for your time and advise.

    They can demand what they like, they could demand the Shard,  but there is nothing they can do about it,  just send out misleading letters 

    Ignore them

    ".....if I don't pay (Dept Recovery Plus will take Legal Action and pass the matter to County Court)".

    Read the letter again I bet it does not say that at all! 
    It will say they will recommend to their client that they take legal action, which is a lie because they want you to pay them not go back to their client.
    Who is the parking company?
    Read the newbies thread on here it's all explained.

    Please read the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread. Easy to scroll to: it's the only post there with pictures.

    No need for us to advise further. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
