    Update! Received a letter today from Gladstones stating that '' We have been instructed by Smart Parking Ltd in relation to the above debt'' They then more or less continue with the same begging requests as before like from Drp & Zenith & quoting the Beavis case etc etc, and stating their client now has the option to commence proceedings in the appropriate Civil Court. Finally they say if we do not pay within the next 14 days, to please keep Smart & Drp updated as to our current address to ensure our ability to defend any such action is protected etc etc etc. Is this a LBA? or should I continue to ignore? I will have another look at the car park this afternoon to see if anything has changed since my last visit. Thanks! Xword Just noticed on another thread a similar letter to what we received today & realised this is not a LBA/LBC letter so assume safe to ignore for now! Xword

    Thanks Dx & Eb. I do go back every now and again and take photos if anything has changed. The last time it was as before no machine & no sign re entering your reg number...I think I have enough photos of the machine, & the hole where it once stood that has been concreted over. I will have another look soon. Cheers Xword

    Hi All, Time for an update. We are now receiving demands from Zenith Collections, who I am shure are still DRP/Smart Parking. The latest from Zenith states: Final warning of legal action-unpaid parking charge £160. They then go on to say all the usual stuff about still offering chance to pay etc etc! I assume continue to ignore until we receive notice before court action directly from Smart Parking themselves or will they use solicitors? I cant believe it is almost 5 months since the original notice from them! How time flys! but they are certainly persistant...I wonder how long before they actually either give up or send a notice before action?? Thanks for all the help and support from all at CAG! It is most appreciated! Cheers xword

    Update, received a 2nd letter from DRP informing if not paid by 11th August, they will reccomend thier client to take court action against us. They also say regarding liability ''if we don't hear from you we'll take this to mean that you agree you're liable for it'' I will continue to ignore DR and assume Smart will now send us a letter before action, so I will post up when received. They have not replaced the meter at the car park and have romoved the signs that say to enter reg number. All the other signs still there as is the camera, if it is working?

    Thanks eb, I will continue ignoring until I get a genuine letter before action from Smart!

    Thanks dx. I suppose DR will continue to send us threatening demanding letters, so do we at some point have make contact with Smart/Drp? or are they likely to just give up? Kaz, all the signs are still there at the car park so maybe you can take some clearer photos yourself. I am not sure how shoppers are supposed to enter their car reg numbers because the machine had been removed when I was there. Good luck

    Hi all, here is an update. This morning I received a letter from DRP demanding £160. Do I continue to ignore? I had a look at the car park on Monday, and now the sign at the front entrance has been replaced (looks the same as the original) but the machine has been removed completely! all the other signs remain as does the camera. Maybe they are adapting the machine it to accept new £1 coins!

    I have found this interesting article in our local paper: http://www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/15357620.Irate_drivers_threatening_to_boycott_car_park_over_unfair_fines_might_be_owed_a_refund/

    I think EB is right zydeco! because they have removed signs and covered p&d machine, they may have been ordered off site Interesteing to know the p&d machines are battery powered.

    Great! Thanks dx

    Thanks dx100uk, I have tried doing as you suggested. I have selected some of the older pics and some new ones and have attached in 1 pdf file, but not sure if this has worked. How do I remove the older attachments? Thanks also Ericsbro, I returned today and got some close up pics of the meter. I lifted the out of order cover up, and as I did I knocked the red button and the meter came to life and then went off again after about 30 seconds which is shown in some of the pics. So as you say no need to sweat about further letters. The 14 days were up yesterday so I expect something to show up in the post soon. I wonder how much it costs Smart installing the camera, signs & meter? I hope the pdf attachment works! it should contain 12 pics but only 1 is showing? pdf parking pics.pdf

    Thanks for the help re uploading, and comments. I have managed to get the photos uploaded, it was a format problem. Photos 1, view from across the street where the entrance is but sign now removed, 2, entrance sign before removal 3, sign next to meter now removed. The main sign as you drive in to the car park was not very big and was not positioned low enough to clearly attract drivers attention. I will have to have another look at the meter to see if it did accept new £ coin! I had a quick search on Tendring council web to see if any planning permision had been granted for the signs. I searched back 5 years and the only plans I could see for the area was for a change of use for the car wash directly opposit the car park and nothing for the car park itself. pics2.pdf
