Have had problems with CEL since April over a PCN at Gatwick. Have now received a letter from Newlyn. Here is my reply to them....... Re: Your letter dated 5/12/07. This alleged debt is in dispute. I have written to your client CEL on a number of occasions (see copies enclosed) and they have failed to substantiate their claim. In the circumstances please refer this matter back to your client. Further research by myself and others show that yourself and CEL are gaining quite an unenviable reputation on the internet in various forums (details of which I will gladly provide should you require them), the national press and television due to your dubious business methods. This, on your part, may be due to you being mislead by CEL. I have spoken to two members of your staff who admit that CEL only inform you that they are owed money by myself or others. You have no details of the circumstances and no copies of correspondence from me to them. One member of your staff even informed me that your company are licensed bailiffs, which is plainly untrue as you are a debt collection agency. You have to employ bailiffs to carry out any CCJ’s you may be awarded. In this instance I think you will find that CEL are responsible for obtaining any CCJ and then they would employ bailiffs to carry out their business so I fail to see how you become involved in this matter. Any further correspondence from you in relation to this matter may result in a complaint to the authorities under the Protection From Harassment Act 1997, Sect.40 of The Administration of Justice Act 1970 and Sect.21 of The Theft Act 1968.
