Hello all, After nearly 8 months of nothing from Newlyn I come home to a message on my answerphone. Its Newlyn saying "Urgent action required will be taken against you" and to call them immediately. What would you guys advise... really worried that they called my home. Best Regards Rob

I take it that you think I'm a bit of a woos for worrying. lol. Thanks for the support and information, it's still not going to stop me worrying but it gives me hope and I am NOT going to pay the thieving gits! For you information I have just re-read the letter and it states: ...now we have not alternative but to pass the file back to our client, who will then proceed with ant necessary action... Client is CEL but I thought that Newlyn was a bailiff company and they sorted out the 'collections'?????

Oh god, sorry to bother you guys again but I have now received a notice of Court action from Newlyn's. If I do not pay £178 in the next seven days it looks like they are taking me to court. What shall I do? Any advise would be gratefully received. With regards to previous posts I was prepared to see the charges increase but not have a notice of court action. Would this ruin my credit rating? Should I pay? Thanks in advance of you advice. Rob

Thanks for all the replies it has been very helpful. WRT dx100uk and DDWales posts: The parking ticket was issued by CEL as my wife parked in a Co-Op car park for over the allotted time. The layout of the letter from CEL is pretty much the same as the Newlyn version I received. This warning letter is set out in the following way: Total outstanding £178.13 DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER Then there is some client (CEL), incident date, location, PCN and VRM information. Following this is a couple of paragraphs stating: We are disappointed to note that upon checking our records you have failed to contact our office and arrange payment of the outstanding debt. We need to receive payment of the debt at this time. We would like to provide you with the opportunity to pay the debt prior to proceedings being issued at the County Court. Failure to clear the amount in full may result in the debt being taken to court at considerable further cost to you. To avoid this distressing course of action contact 01604 633001 IMMEDIATELY. Then there is some information in red detailed opening times. Is this pretty much what you would normally expect from this [problem]? Regards Rob

Hello, A few months ago I visited this forum as I (well my wife did as she was driving the car) received a parking notice through the post. I took the advice of the forum and basically ignored the letters. Then I basically stuck my head in the ground! It has now got to the stage that another company have got involved which are demanding £178.13, the company is Newlyn. To say I am worried not is an understatement as they are saying in their 2nd letter about going to County Court and (in bold) stating 'Considerable further cost to you'. Are they allowed to do this? The cheek of it is that they have spelt my name incorrectly in all correspondence that they have sent me! Anyway, could someone please advise to what I should do now? oh, and your earliest reply would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Rob
