you wont get points as the arrangement hasnt been enacted yet as hora says. Some EU countries sell their tickets to what are effectively debt collection agencies who write official-sounding, legalesey but ultimately hollow letters. A sunday paper financial section did an article on it a few months ago. The collection agencies rely on people's ignorance/fear to pay up and have quite a high success rate, but if you ignore them they can do nothing about it.

I'd only be worried if you intended to drive the same car in france again, as its a fair assumption the french have their own versions of ANPR and PNC, and IF they also put non-fine payers on it you COULD find yourself getting stopped next time your there.

If you'd been stopped rather than flashed you would have got an on-the-spot fine and no points.

I always pay them, some countries collaborate for points so check if France / UK combo participates else you'll get the points automatically added to the registered owner's licence and a contempt of court from the district where the camera was if you're ever stopped in France again (assuming you don't pay it).
