    toft - PLEASE JUST CHANGE THAT #1 to this ' Last Sat, 13 September, we received a letter from Miah solicitors, demanding £stupid for parking behind a cinema 2 yrs ago. There was no windscreen ticket, nothing whatsoever received until this.'

    Next, tell us how the parking event is described in that letter.

    Do they refer to other letters being sent with dates, by anyone at all in reference to this matter?

    One firm of Miah is listed with the SRA:
    http://www.themiahsolicitors.co.uk/services/

    Is it this lot?

    c-m, as I read it, I don't think toft has ever had anything at all i.e. no NTK, nor any letter from UKCPS, or anyone else until now. Have I missed salient info. now deleted?

    toft - if you'd had debt collector's letters before now, you would have recognised them and linked them to what is still a strong memory of that day, 10 Oct 2012, wouldn't you?

    I just want to be clear on all of this.

    Done



    Next, tell us how the parking event is described in that letter.


    It says that the land had conditions to restricted parking whereby parking without fully complying to s specific condition you contractually agreed to pay

    Do they refer to other letters being sent with dates, by anyone at all in reference to this matter?

    No ref to other letters just was not paid by due date

    One firm of Miah is listed with the SRA:
    http://www.themiahsolicitors.co.uk/services/

    Is it this lot?

    Yes it is

    c-m, as I read it, I don't think toft has ever had anything at all i.e. no NTK, nor any letter from UKCPS, or anyone else until now. Have I missed salient info. now deleted?

    That is correct

    We have received nothing and I do have a strong memory of the day but better not put why

    Have answered within the quote
  • Also it says I have 14 days from 9th to pay

    Do I pay ?
    Ring and tell them I bave no idea what they are talking about?
    Send the letter recommended with the extra note ?

    I may seem really stupid but I have never had a parking ticket in my life or a solicitors letter !

    You will not pay anything, so push that thought firmly away.

    Are there any threats or consequences spelt out, for declining this invitation pay £275 to a bunch of strangers?

    There is a ticket no. of some kind, as you wrote: 'It gives a ticket number and various costs '

    I am also trying to ascertain whether this is a scamming demand of the type exposed in recent days, used by some Banks and utility companies.

    Don't ring them.

    Don't pay them.

    If you mean 'recommend' in the postal sense - NO! Unnecessary. All that's ever required is a free Certificate of Posting. PO deems all 1st class letters delivered within 2 days: this is your proof.

    If you mean you've seen a response 'recommended' somewhere on the newbies thread, tell us which one.

    Whose name, if any, appears as signatory?



    That's enough for the moment.

    I have just added a link there showing someone's response to UKCPS which worked, got a cancellation before court. Have another look at the link.

    This OP, Toooldforthis, won't have an update yet. I only just showed them that letter that Blissikins used, I doubt this OP has even sent it yet.

    But I see you now have your own thread:

    Hope you have searched the forum for 'Miah' as the obvious keyword?
