Hi,
I posted back in march about a PCN that had been received. I ignored the letters as per the advice but today I have received a letter from a solicitors called Gladstone solicitors informing me I need to pay £200 or court proceedings will follow and bailiffs will come round.
I'm really worried, I'm 9 months pregnant and this letter has stressed me out quite a lot!
The letter itself is on crappy paper not even very posh looking from what I'd expect official solicitor letters to look like.
has anyone else received such letters and if so what would you advise I do?
The PCN itself is addressed to my husband as it was a company car which he wasn't driving so really has nothing to do with us but I'm just scared if people turn up to our door. Any help is greatly appreciated.

SO Four months ago they sent you a 'Final demand or court action will follow' letter, and what happened? Nothing!
Bailiffs can only come round if theres a court case, you lose, and then dont pay the court order in 28 days.
These morons darent take you to court, because they have no case to bring. If i recall, the original parking invoice was from 'Parksure', a private parking company?
Well since then, there's been a court case thats has completely pulled all four legs off there cash cow.

The law now as its stands as a result of this is that a private parking company cannot offer parking on someone else land, and cannot pursue a motorist for any charges.
So carry on ignoring, its all still just toothless rubbish, and scaring you into paying is the only method they have of getting money out of you.**** I hereby relieve MSE of all legal responsibility for my post and assume personal responsible for all posts. If any Parking Pirates have a problem with my post then contact me for my solicitors address.*****0 -
Please don't worry, there's no need. As per everyone else's advice, ignore.0
