Civil enforcement LBA dated over 6 years ago

Clearly threatening court action for a statute barred debt, which would probably be considered unlawful.

I agree.

It says "we will commence proceedings". Yet the PCN is outside of the 6 year period.

I wonder if they are getting more desperate to scrape the barrel, given CEL's potential winding up notice on Companies House.

You could possible reply be sending somethign like this

Dear CEL,

It would appear from your letter, dated 28th of October, PCN refernce (redacted) Titled "LETTER EBFORE ACTION CLAIM FOR DEBT UNPAID PARKING CHARGE NOTICE (PCN)" ( your capitals and in bold text) that not only do youhave a malfunctioning caps lock key, you are also retaining my personal data, and then processing it, by sending out your demand for £170 without just cause or permission.

You must now take the following action, Cease processing my personal data with regards to this so called pakring charge notice, and to errase my details from your system, you have no just cause to retain this data and other than confriming that you will not be pursuing this.

I look forward to your letter confirming that you have done this.

please note that any further letter you send to myself demanding money for this "pakring cahrge notice" will incurr a fee of £340 per demand payable by yourselves twice the spurious amount you are demanding form myself for an incident that allegedly took place, as per the letter before action on the 15th of June 2020

I'd add that it is statute barred and threaten a complaint to the ICO and also the Falmouth Harbour Master, to suggest CEL are removed (enforcement of pseudo 'PCNs' on byelaws land cannot breach the Limitation Period or ignore UK data and consumer protection law).

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help.
I’ve read through the paperwork thoroughly, and there is no address listed anywhere as to where I’m supposed to send any correspondence. Not very helpful! I have found an address online for an office in Liverpool. Do I just send it there?
If I go to their online portal, it says I’m too late to do anything other than pay (which I’m obviously not going to do!).

The problem with the Liverpool address is that according to companies house they are no longer registered there and new claims are coming out using Creative Car Park address in London. As this is in part about data protection and the fact that they are processing your information illegally you could try dataprotectionofficer@ce-service.co.uk from CEL's privacy notice. Others may have a better idea of what to do.
