Not had a letter from this lot before...

The date they are quoting is from March 2012, todays letter is just over 2 years after the fact. I am assuming that Peel have brought Newlyn in to chase old invoices?

Due to the date of their initial invoice am I correct to continue as normal and file it under B for Bin?

Bit confused there. Are you saying as it's pre oct 2012 to just ignore it? Or to reply saying it is not accepted as per the online advice?

Fwiw, I believe the keeper was not the driver.

If newlyn are instructed by a local council, they may have a warrant of execution (re-named a control warrant after 6th April this year).
What does the letter say? If you were the registered keeper at date of offence, you're responsible. Give newlyns a call and find out what it's about? Your info is a bit vague.
Will type the letter up later. In summary it says they have been instructed by vehicle control services ltd to "recover the above parking charges which remain outstanding". There's also a "further action may be taken is the debt is not paid in full".

The keeper was not the driver and the letter is not addressed to me, I do not recall receiving anything about this before now.
