Will do :rolleyes:

dunncha

I have just finished the L.P.S & Brethertons merry-go-round. Just ignore all their letters. Nothing will happen.

I had 3 letters from LPS and 2 from Brethertons each one warning of the dire consequences of ignoring them.

The letters can be quite scary but hold your nerve and it will eventually stop. :j

Dear Sir,

LOCAL PARKING SECURITY LTD

We act for Local Parking Security LTD who instruct us that the sum of £50.00 remains unpaid in respect of a parking fine issued upon 01/09/2009 - 07:02:00 AM.

Did somebody see the 'f' word there? Do we now throw section 40 of the Administration of Justice at them now or in court? Would a supposedly professional solicitor really be breaking the law in one of their own letters? :eek:

I am firstly concerned about the genuinity of this, can they prove it was me, I have rang them and explained that it was not and that surely it will be too much of a risk for them to take me to court for a trivial £50. I said it was a friend using the car. They don't have my current address, or no telephone numbers. (DVLA details updates since they have gained them).

What would you people do? I see others have had dealings too judging by other posts........

Has this been reported to the SRA ?

daveyjp

Definately report them to the SRA, if only to cause them a headache in dealing with it.

robredz

SRA it has to be, when is a fine not a fine? when it is an invoice for a dodgy unilateral contract, assumed to exist by the PPC

bromsgrovebarry

And when is paying a begging letter a 'legal obligation'?
