Old Italian parking ticket

[9mm]

I've just got an email from an Italian car hire company alleging I owe about 45 euros for a parking ticket dated May 2010. They've never chased before and I have no record of this. I'd say it was a scam but I definitely hired the car. Things is, they can't debit my card as I no longer have it. Anyone else experienced a scam/delay like this?

Only four years, blimey they've really speeded up.

They are Italian after all! I got a ticket at Lake Como in 2010 as I overran the parking time. It was a bright green Lamborghini but the traffic warden put Ferrari on the ticket! I thought this ironic in Italy of all places. I could start a thread on the validity of the ticket as car make was incorrect!!!

I was staying at Lake Como! When we were in the hotel we parked as instructed by the manager.

Anyway, what's the perceived wisdom on these old tickets - ask for more info, pay, ignore or something else?
