    Thanks Eb, at least I now know what the Lba looks like! I look forward with your help writing a responce if and when it arrives.

    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

    3rd letter received today from DR this time saying Notice of intended court action! They offer a short term payment plan if I am having problems paying! How kind of them! lol Assume I continue to ignore DR
  7. Crossword
    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?
  8. Crossword
    Thanks eb, I will continue ignoring until I get a genuine letter before action from Smart!
  9. Crossword
    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
  10. Crossword
    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/
  12. Crossword
    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.
  13. Crossword
    Great! Thanks dx
  14. Crossword
    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
  15. Crossword
    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
  16. Crossword
    the main sign at car park entrance has been removed as has the other main sign just in front of the meter. The meter still has an out of order cover on it! I lifted the cover to try and get a close up photo but the mater was switched off. I wonder whats going on?
  17. Crossword
    Here are some photos of the parking lot signs! I will upload a few more photos that I took today and would you believe it the meter had an out of order cover on it! lol There were lots of people taking pics of the covered up meter when I was there today! I will write to the Dvla tomorrow! Watch this space!! pics.pdf
  18. Crossword
    Thanks Ericsbrother! I will certainly write to Dvla and it will be very interesting what info they supply! So the date of the NTK charge is out of time! not so smart then:-D. I will upload some photos of signs from the site as soon as I find my data cable. The nearest post code for the car park is CO15 4DE.
  19. Crossword
    Thanks very much for the info! I also thought the NTK might be late, but not sure I can prove this as no date stamp on envelope. We have not and do not intend to identify the driver! I have taken some photos but I will take some more and post up along with further details hopefully sometime tomorrow.

    My Wife received a charge notice yesterday morning 10/06/17. It was in a brown undated envelope. The car park in question must have only recently been aquired by Smart Parking as it has been a free car park for years and my pensioner wife uses it for Doctor appointments and she always displays her blue badge and parks in disabled bays. Long and short is she did not notice the new signs at the entrance, the camera or ticket meter which is in amongst the parking bays, and parked as usual in disabled bay. 3 hours free parking are allowed but reg number must be entered at the meter, but this is not displayed clearly on signs at disabled bays. So any advice re what to do would be very welcome! I have attached redacted pdf's and here are the details: 1 Date of the infringement 23/05/2017 2 Date on the NTK 08/06/2017 3 Date received 10/06/2017 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [N] 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? not yet Have you had a response? '' '' 7 Who is the parking company? Smart Parking 8.

  21. Crossword
    So it seems I have no choice other than to pay the £80 to DVLA for losing my V5! Is it known for the DVLA to not bother chasing a LLP after a dispute even though they said "if payment is not received, further enforcement action will be taken, matters can not remain unresolved" but they have not stated any time limit to pay it! Thoughts Please....Also at the end of the reply and after the name of the officer there is a box with: 1 As stated in section 7A of the vehicle excise and registration act 1994 (as amended) but I can not see any refference to it in the letter.
  22. Crossword
    I have been searching the web for a legal definition of the term "Deliver" re the interpretations act 1978 but I cant find anything specific!!
  23. Crossword
    So until the DOT/DVLA are forced to state exactly what method to deliver is acceptable, then they will continue to milk thier cash cow!! No wonder they do not want a Crown Court ruling....I wonder if members of the AA, RAC, etc, could get behind a petition to force DOT/DVLA to clearly state an acceptable method and then ammend s.22? Very unlikely I suspect!!
  24. Crossword
    Yes Raykay, I believe thay have used this very point and I think they have succeeded, but where is it explained how it should be delivered:???:
  25. Crossword
    When I sent the V991 dispute form I included a signed statement by my Dad confirming he witnessed I sent the V5 along with his V890 notifying Sorn from the same date as change of keeper, I also included a copy of the my Dad's new V5 showing the correct date of change of keeper & a screen shot of DVLA web site showing the same date as on new V5 as date of liability which is 8 months before the date of the LLP! So it appears DVLA are quite happy to back date the V5 but as yet they have to notify my Dad that the vehicle is Sorn as web show unlicensed! I would appreciate some advice as to whether I would win if it eventually goes to court or just pay £80 now....Something I am loath to do as I know I done as required by DVLA and I suppose the only error my Dad and I have made is not being on the ball and chasing the DVLA up re change and new Sorn! The other point is if DVLA had sent me a reminder when Sorn/Tax was due as is usually the case I would have spotted the error for sure and got it sorted but I didn't receive one.
