Will DRP ever stop sending me fanmail?

I know there is the FAQ and I of course have no interest in paying DRP in any capacity at all.
I just want to know if they will ever stop.

I had a parking invoice around 7yr ago which I didn't pay, and never heard a bean same as most firms.

6 Years and 4 days later, (10, but dated that) I got a DRP letter that the firm had passed it on to them - I assume as the 6yr limitation had passed so they "bought" the debt?

But since then for maybe a year or so I have had regular letters with the vague threatening language.
I did once check out their site and Chrome flagged it as insecure due to expired certificates so I couldn't have pay it even if I wanted to- Took timestamped screenshots to prove this a few times too. 
I did consider ringing them and telling them politely to stop as they have no grounds, but I found through posts that they are apparently impossible to get hold of anyway, and never back down, often in a verbally aggressive tone too.

I just want to know if anyone here is in a similar boat? Do they ever stop? 

and I assume that its still correct that 6yr is the enforcable time and I can joyfully keep ignoring these indefinitely until they run out of stamps?

Pretty unusual. You must be stuck in some sort of infinite loop or internal system error. Or maybe the mailing house is just sending out repeated stuff fraudulently just so they can bill them 

Not much you can do really since they can demand payment forever. It's just that their client can't take you to court after 6 years. 

Have fun totting up how much they have wasted on postage. Costs them about 40p every time.

We know that DRP is not the smartest in the book. letters after6 years proves that

Let them wste their money and just laugh at them, ZERO they can do

They have not "bought the debt" there is no actual debt to buy and they work on a no win no fee basis anyway.

You are sure this is the same PCN?

If you want to stop the letters,  it might be worth exercising your right to erasure.  Send a firm email to the DPO of the actual parking company and debt crawler ordering erasure of your personal data held by them using the fact that the limitation period for their alleged monetary claim has expired and you are never going to pay and they are fully aware of this.

It would be disproportionate given the facts above for them to retain your data as the original purpose for which it was obtained will have essentially expired post 6 years.  The parking company should have a privacy policy setting out their retention periods so quote that at them if the retention period is shorter than the length of time they have retained yours.  Additionally if they don't play ball then the ICO would be the next stop.

It all depends on how much of an appetite you have to get them to stop sending fire lighting material in the post and having your personal data on their systems when there is no longer any slightly legitimate reason to do so.
