I have seen templates on the forum but this was essentially a
hired car. It was a replacement car provided by the dealership.

Can anyone please share a template when it's a hire vehicle? I
am struggling to find one on the forum.

You could reply with the following;
To whom it may concern,
Thank you for your Letter of Claim which arrived today.
I write as the individual named on your letter.
Liability for the debt is categorically denied.
As I understand it, the driver is not known to your client and,
given the specific circumstances, there is no other route to
liability in this matter.
I am sorry that I am unable to help you further.
Best wishes,
xxxxx xxxxxxxx

I agree, the response to the Letter of Claim isn’t too vital,
you respond as above and that’s fine.
But you will need to file a defence to a court claim, so you
should research this now so that you have it ready in due
course. A defended case with a proper defence will very likely
end up with a discontinuation, but you need to follow the
paperwork path first.

If you have one where the claim was successful please include it
here.

What do you mean by “claim was succesful”? Claim by whom?
Success by whom?
DCB Legal initiates court proceedings because it knows that many
people ignore them, and then it applies for and gets a judgement
in default against them.
People who follow the process and file a defence, on the other
hand, they eventually give up with. We can’t promise anything,
but something like >99% of defended cases get discontinued. It’s
not worth their while actually taking it to court, sending
people, paying expenses, for a couple of hundred pounds.
But you will need to file a defence in due course.

I meant success by us not the parking companies. I am looking
for threads where we have successfully defended a claim by
parking companies.

Generally speaking, any thread which 'goes deep' (ie 4 or 5
pages plus) is normally a success story.
