    I still think its a DRP letter even though the new address is on there

    DRP are trying to trick you into paying and I doubt the letter came from Gladstones

    How would I tell if its genuine, it has a watermark as well as there letterhead. It's easy to ignore but I read elsewhere that gladstones do win when they go to court.

    you tell due to what you have said earlier , phone numbers , who to contact , the words "our client may" etc, its all been explained hundreds of times on here already, so much so that the BMPA zendesk has examples you can view

    I doubt that GLADSTONES have any successes in Scotland , are you sure about this ?

    they lose enough times in england and wales courts, so I cannot see how they can win in a court in scotland unless the driver is stupid enough to reveal themselves

    I suspect you are not checking facts here

    please show us ONE THREAD where gladstones have won in a scottish court ?

    its probably a DRP letter, not GLADSTONES

    check the letter itself and see if the details are from GLADSTONES , or from DRP
    (I believe you will find it is a DRP drivel letter)

    see the BMPA ZENDESK for comparisons

    just because the letterhead says GLADSTONES does not mean its from them , read it carefully and properly (this mistaken identity issue has been covered zillions of times on here)

    What, where is BMPA Zendesk

    Thanks, but I didn't know it was website or a thread o here, I will find where I read about gladstones and court, It didn't actually state they won in Scottish cases, nor did I, it wasn't specified which courts, so I will check.

    Thanks to you all, I have had letters before from DRP, at no time did I contact them btw, and they don't know who the driver was. This seems to be from gladstones,The Terrace, HIGH leith Golf club, Knutsford. Solicitors in a golf club?!
    Letter gives ph no for DRP, directs all contact to DRP.
    It states that our client may take legal action. 14 DAY To reply.

    That is a DRPlus letter then. Ignore it. In Scotland you will not be sued.

    And it's only G24 who don't even sue people in England!
    so I will check.
    No need, the BMPA already have checked G24:

    Your combination of G24>DebtRecoveryPlus>Scottish keeper is as safe as you can get.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
