Thanks FTM, I’ve sent letters to both Gladstones and UKCPM today. Will see what their response (or lack of) is.

Perfect, I’ll get the letter sent tomorrow. Another update though, I have just received a text from them! I don’t know how they would have my number! 26/01/22 17:03 Due: £170.00 You have not responded to our Pre-Action letter. Please visit bit.ly/gsl-pay or call 01565 755088 to avoid Court action.

Just to clarify, FTM's original response is the way to go? More than happy to be sending words of those effect just want to make sure it's the right avenue. Also, the follow up to UKPC is the right thing to do? Sorry to be a pain, want to make sure I get it right. Really appreciate everyone's time and replies.

Thanks for your comments both, what are your thoughts on the below? Added a couple of sentences requesting evidence and referencing the pre-action protocols. Gladstones Solicitors Limited Unit B, 1st Floor 210 Cygnet Court Centre Park, Warrington, WA1 1PP 25th January 2022 Dear Will and John, I am in receipt of your letter before claim dated 19th January 2022 regarding REF: (the ref number). Your letter contains insufficient detail of the claim and fails to provide copies of evidence your client places reliance upon. I am requesting to see the evidence in which you claim to hold, failure to do so will contradict the pre-action protocols. The onus is on you to supply this or provide a reasonable explanation as to why this is not available. (Section 5) I would strongly advise you to cease and desist your communications, any further action on your part will be vigorously defended. Your actions are a waste of costs and court time. Yours Sincerely,

Mantis - Yes, this arrived this morning at my current address dx - Thank you, will search for a template and post here before sending Appreciate the fast responses

Hi, Hope someone is able to provide some advice, I have given as much information as I can think may be relevant. Today I’ve received a Letter Before Claim from Gladstones Solicitors regarding a PCN from 09/11/2017. This is the first letter I have received but then I have moved house since that date so unsure if any previous correspondence may have been sent. The location of the PCN was where I was living at the time however with it being so long ago I am struggling to remember any specific details. I definitely had a permit however parking was extremely busy so I may not have been in a marked space. I have filled out the question template below, if anyone has any advice for me to contest that would be great. Thank you 1 The date of infringement? 09/11/2017 2 Have you yet appealed - no Have you received a Notice To Keeper? (NTK) [must be received by you between 29-56 days] Not to my knowledge, only letter received is attached What date is on it? N/A Did the NTK provide photographic evidence?
