NPE MNPR PCN - 6 mins stay/wrong bay for Barclays bank customers Car Park Clifton Court, Cambridge

[ericsbrother]

note that the supposed breach is the vehicle is not on the database for that area which is not the same as saying that you were trespassing, agreeing to pay them for a parking period or whatever.

 

If the sign says authorised vehicles only that is still not the same as the landowner can authorise anyone who isnt on the parking co database without reference to them so a stupid thing to write.

 

Now will they send a doorstepper? no they wont.

 

As already said,

the grace period applies to everyone so you can have a chance of getting out of your car and reading the sign and then considering whether you wish to be bound by its terms.

they know this but are hoping you dont.

brilliant - thanks ericsbrother

I continue to ignore

Hi CAG,

 

New correspondence received:  Notice of Intention to Instruct Solicitors.

 

I have attached the correspondence in PDF.  The letter is from TNC Collections.

 

They want payment in 7 days or they will instigate immediate legal proceedings against me.

 

Is this one last attempt at scare tactics?  Any response or action required by me at this stage?

 

Thanks

 

Sorry, forgot to attach the PDF letter.

Here it is:Notice to Instruct Solicitors_27JAN2020.pdf

not a letter of claim from a fake/tame paperwork only solicitor 

[Jameson78]

 I continue to ignore

[ericsbrother]

as with any rentathreat they CANT instruct anyone so they say they are going to advise their clients to do something. Meaningless waffle.

I am going to advise you to cross the road to get to the other side. Whether you wish to cross and how and when you cross is up to you, not me. i can clai no credit for your safe crossing nor any blame fr you getting run over, the choice is always yours

[Jameson78]

Hello CAG,

 

After several months I have received a Letter Before Claim. 

Please see attached PDF.

 

It states that they want me to contact Credit Investigation Services. 

What do you guys think - does this look legit? 

Do you think they would issue summons? 

Wording of their letters is increasingly threatening.  

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi.

 

Don't contact CIS, it's time for an ericsbrother style snotty letter. Have a look at other parking threads that have had letters before claim and have a go at drafting something. Don't be polite.

 

Post it up when you're ready and we can help you to refine it.

 

HB

[dx100uk]

so you didn't reply within 30days as we advise here?

[Jameson78]

Hi dx,

 

The 30 days to reply is from the date of the letter. 

I have not yet replied. 

 

The letter before claim which I have attached above is dated 25 May so i have 30 days from then to respond.

 

HB suggested I do reply "ericbrother" style. 

Not sure of the angle here, will check some other threads and ask for your help with advice. 

Thanks

 

[ericsbrother]

I would respond somehting like:

 

Dera Sirs,

your letter before claim isnt a letter before claim as you dont say what the claim is for.

 

Cutting and pasting things without understanding them is a dangerous practice and could come back to bite you and you ask that I pay a third party who is NOT on the FCA register of companies that hold a consumer credit licence and nor are they exempt by being a solicitor regulated by the SRA.

 

Now you may trust money to a bunch of chancers but I dont so even if any monies were due to you I wouldnt be touching them with a barge pole.

 

As it stands I dont owe you a penny so this nugget of information is totally wasted on you.

 

Have a read of One Parking Solution v W Lewes CC May 2020 particularly the bits about grace period and additional charges.

lastly read the defence in  Arkell v Pressdram

 

yours faithfully

 

that should do and if they still want to sue you then they will liklely have to pay a costs order

[Jameson78]

Thanks ericsbrother!

That's an uppercut and left hook to finish!

I'll fire that off in the morning.

Cheers!

[Jameson78]

Just a quick one ericsbrother,

 

Should I write to Nation Parking, the firm that sent the "Letter Before Claim" ? 

Although in National Parking's letter they state that I should not contact them and that I should contact their agent, CIS for all correspondence.

HB mentioned that I shouldn't contact CIS.

Thanks

[dx100uk]

to who sent it

stop thinking a DCA has any powers on any debt

they don't.

and are not bailiffs nor solicitors.

[Jameson78]

Thanks dx

[ericsbrother]

ONLY the parking co can send a LBA so by insisting they you respond to a bunch of disinterested crooks is stupid and against CPR. I have indicated as much in my draft response but you can add that after "barge pole" to double up on the sentiment if you wish.

Any update here?  I ask as we have a new user taking on these jokers.
