Received debt collection letter after losing an appeal,
however..

Hi all,
Sometime last week I received a letter from DCBL, following
losing an appeal with the IAS, however the company that
initially issued by PCN (National Parking Control Group Ltd)
never sent me further information to pay the fee following the
appeal.
As the terms of the original PCN, if I lost the appeal I’d be
liable to pay the increased fee of £100. That was fine by me,
however nobody h from the parking company had contacted me
further to make that payment, and passed my case to DCBL which
are now wanting £170.
Where do I stand here?
PCN was issued on 30/01/2024
Appeal dismissed on 07/04/2024
Do I ignore the letter or should I contact the parking company?
Thanks in advance

If they have passed the matter on to the debt collectors,
there's little chance they'll accept the £100 now. They will
probably say that their previous correspondence already
indicated how payment could be made.
Assuming you're wanting to fight this, the next step will
basically be to wait and see if they decide to take the matter
to civil court (small claims track). If you're planning to do
this, we can help, but we'll need some more information to do
so. If you read the following thread carefully and provide all
the information it asks for (in your case, including copies of
your appeals and the responses), then that will be a good
starting point: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum

There is nothing to stop you writing to the parking company and
offering to pay the £100, if they then did take it to court and
were only awarded £100 they would then look rather silly and you
would probably not be made to pay their costs.
Any such offer MUST be made under a ‘without prejudice save as
to costs’ heading so cannot be used to imply any acceptance of
liability.
