DCBLegal LoC from an age ago

Hi All, 

Hoping you can help me please. I have received a LoC from DCB legal for being parked in breach of terms of service, I have read the newbies thread but still have some questions regarding what should really be in my response to them. 

The supposed breach of contract happened in 2021. I sometimes struggle to remember what I've had for breakfast let alone what the supposed breach of contract was over 4 years ago. I have also since moved house, I will of course inform them of my new address and to remove all old addresses etc. but in the process I have lost any original letters that I may have received. I have scoured my emails and the parking app I used at the time and can't find any historic evidence of what I have done. I'm sure I did try an appeal at some stage but I honestly can't remember.

Thanks in advance

    Which Parking company   ?  Smart Parking   ?  Ecp  ?  Who

    Same advice as this thread below for an LoC,  respond using the LoC template response in post 2 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements

    Sorry forgot that bit - Smartparking. 

    Looks very similar to Bongo's case. I don't understand the part about "Am I to understand that the additional £70 represents what you lot dress up as a 'Debt Recovery' fee" - they are claiming the amount is £170. Was the original charge £100? 

    Thank you

    Its an added spurious charge,  unenforceable,  the original pcn and signage charge will have been £100, not £170
