Sorry dx100uk, I didn't fully understand you there? Are you saying don't respond to this latest attempt by Gladstones? I only responded to the letter before claim to avoid county court action but i'm happy to keep ignoring again from now on if these letters carry no weight

I've now received another letter from Gladstones acknowledging receipt of my previous 'snotty' letter but now with a new deadline in September to pay up again. I'll post a link again with all the redacted paperwork. PPC-Gladstones.pdf.pdf

I've got until the 5th August for them to receive my letter so i'll probably send via second class post tomorrow Will Gladstones be aware of the PCN number by the way? Minster Baywatch have repeatedly printed the PCN number on all their correspondence but on the Gladstones letter before claim there is no mention of my PCN number? Do I need to write my name and address on the letter too in the top left corner? Or will the PCN Number identify me? Do I also send a letter to Baywatch Minster with 'COPIED TO GLADSTONES SOLICITORS LTD' at the foot of the letter?

Dear Will & John, Re: PCN No - XXXXXXX Thank you for your 'Letter before claim' however I have absolutely no intention of paying you or your client any of the money that you have irresponsibly dreamt up. If you had studied the case properly you would have realised that your clients claim is unlawful and completely invalid You can instruct your client to end this futile pursuit of money or I will look forward to beating them in court COPIED TO MINSTER BAYWATCH LIMITED

That's great knowledge lookinforinfo. So if court papers were to arrive at my doorstep it would make sense to tell the court that I WAS NOT the driver of the vehicle on the day in question

What if a high court writ is obtained? Are the HCEO's permitted to access my Dad's house or business address and seize assets if the cash cannot be collected? I know this is all 'ifs & buts' at this stage but it's good to be aware of impending action But like dx100uk has said the CCJ was under £600 so it's good to know at this point nobody would try to force entry into my Dads home or business without him first hearing about a high court writ of control first Thanks

Can UKPC Ltd now send in the real bailiffs to collect the amount that is owed if they don't receive what the court have awarded to them? If they've taken the time to take it to court and won by default surely they will finish the job off and collect the money? Plus they'll be legally entitled this time DCBL were trying to recover £323.32 but the amount claimed in the county court was £300.48 There's a discrepancy there straightaway Yes there's absolutely no way he'll be paying the fleecers at this point i'll make sure of that. He's keen to ignore further anyway but is he at risk of receiving a knock on the door in the near future from the bailiffs demanding £300.48 on behalf of UKPC Ltd?

Thanks for the input guys. I'll try to get the credit check to show you I was under the impression from what i've read in previous posts that unless the PPC can prove who the driver was beyond reasonable doubt the court would just sling out the case and the charges would be dropped? Fortunately My Dad shouldn't be needing any credit at his age. He's managed his finances well so a six year CCJ is not the end of the world. Is it impossible for the fleecers at this point to get paid? Whom does he owe money at this stage and is the payment enforceable?

Hi HB, Yes if you download my link in the first post it'll show you the 'Claim Form' he's received from the County Court Business Centre with a Claim Number beginning with K eight characters long. But we weren't sure if the claim form was legitimate or not? The stamp on the paper didn't look authentic. Are we able to check if this claim form is real? The Issue date was April 2023 so we've left it for 3 months now

Hello, This post is on behalf of my father who has received two letters from "dcbl - direct collection Bailiffs LTD' To my knowledge he overstayed on a McDonald's car park and has since received TWO letters from DCBL which he IGNORED and then a third letter which appears to be a CLAIM FORM but he wasn't sure if the claim form looked legitimate or not because you can normally see the dried ink from the stamp on the paper but on this claim form it looks like a stamp has been photocopied on? If you experienced people could try and confirm if this 'claim form' is actually real that would be great or is it just another futile attempt by these con men to make you cough up the money? He has made no contact with anybody regarding the PCN and has ignored every bit of correspondence to come through the door. He's never admitted to anybody who the driver was either. Thanking you all in advance I've attached the redacted correspondence too for everybody to look at Great stuff thanks again (JUST A QUICK UPDATED PIECE OF INFORMATION - DCBL have sent three of their letters out altogether and he's had about five letters from the original PPC which he wasn't sure of the company name? He's IGNORED ALL CORRESPONDENCE from the start) claimform + pre+post DCB(l) letters.pdf

Can somebody please provide a link to these template 'snotty' letters please? I'm struggling to find the thread now? Gladstones have given me 30 days from the Letter Before Claim to either pay their "debt" or dispute it Does that give me 30 days to send the 'snotty' letter? If I send the letter by 2nd class post on day 30 they won't receive it in time. Would you recommend sending the letter a week or two before the 30 days is up? and lastly does it matter if the letter is typed or handwritten providing it is sent by POST and no mention of an email address is disclosed?

Did you want me to scan my Baywatch Minster & Gladstones Solicitors correspondence and upload them to the thread for you to take a look at in .PDF form? I'm not sure how to redact my personal details? I'll cover up my personals and scan it like that and send the lot in .PDF form later for you to look at. Would I send the Royal Mail letter to both Gladstones and Baywatch Minster dx100uk?

1 Date of the infringement - MAY2023 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] YES 12 days later arrived the NTK 3 Date received Not Sure - I immediately tossed the letters into a corner upon receipt of them 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? YES 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] NO 7 Who is the parking company? Baywatch Minster 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Lytham St Annes Pier FY82NG For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. BPA Thanks again for the swift reply FTMDave. I'm aware that you're one of the leading experts on this forum and it's great to get your input ...and as advised earlier on a previous post I will delay the sending of the letter until the last moment Just to clarify would you send this smug letter to both Gladstones & Baywatch Minster? And the file type would be a .pdf? Have I read in previous threads the Microsoft Word format your information can be decoded? At this stage that's the last thing I need to be tripping up on

Hello, I've been reading many threads on this website and there really is some well informed people with terrific advice and guidance so i'd like to say thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post. I received a PCN from Baywatch Minster for 'Parking fee covering visit duration was not paid in full' To be truthful I was under the impression that these Private Parking Companies had no power whatsoever , the driver drove onto the Car Park and left it there for 35 minutes and drove off without paying a single penny. I know these people are out to rip people off and take advantage of frightened people so the driver does not want to play ball with them ,so brazenly that's what they've been doing for about 12 months. Only this time I received a LETTER BEFORE CLAIM from Gladstones Solicitors who estimate the claim value to be £270 altogether! £80 for the fixed solicitors costs £35 for the court fee and £155 for the parking violation! To fill you in , made absolutely NO contact with GS or Baywatch up until this point, made no admission who was driving the vehicle at the time either Would be grateful if the experts on this forum could guide their next move? There would be no point sending the 'snotty letter' about overstaying the car park because that never happened they just completely and deliberately ignored the pay meter. Maybe it was broke, maybe the signage was too small to read they don't know. just made no attempt to comply What are the options. Thanks again in advance.
