Almondvale retail park - highview parking threatening court actiom

Theo2344

Hi,
I parked in almondvale retail park on 21st April 2014!! After I parked that day I looked around to see if there was a pay and display couldn't see Any after looking for 10 mins so I went and had some lunch and a look about the shopping centre. About a month later I started receiving letters from highland parking Ltd claiming I had a fine for parking over 3 hours. I just ignored these letters as I thought it was a scam, it's a huge retail park with cinema and thought most people must spend more than 3 hours in there most of the time. I had only had a lunch and went into a few shops?! So I kept recieving letters which I just threw away after reading a lot of stuff on the Internet about them but now it seems the letters I'm recieving is from a company called debt recovery plus looking for me to pay £150 now for this parking. The latest letter is saying that they're away to startcourt action and I'm alao going to have to pay court fees and solicitor costs. It has worried a bit, can anyone advise me what I can do about this, everything I've read just says to ignore them but that hasn't worked in my case as this letter was only recieved 2 weeks ago. Please help, any advice appreciated and note I have never spoke to either company about it..yet

I doubt that letter is from HIGHVIEW and I doubt that HIGHVIEW are threatening court action

I do believe its from DRP, so file it away and ignore it

read the NEWBIES sticky thread post #4 about debt collectors, and read the DRP/ROSSENDALES thread too

DRP are powerless , so stop reading their drivel

come back if you get a real LBC from HIGHVIEW in the next 4 years, or court papers from Northampton , Salford , or a county court (6 years to try a court case)

complain to the landowner or MA and insist that its cancelled

Almondvale, Livingston?
If so, it's in Scotland, so ignore Highview and their debt collectors unless real court action is instigated (I think it's happened twice, and the PPC pulled out before it saw a judge), so you're pretty safe.

Yes it's from drp, I thought as much but just wanted to check. Thanks for the reference I will check that out now, can't believe it's allowed to happen

if this is SCOTLAND , then IGNORE is correct anyway, no keeper liability in Scotland and I doubt their parliament would bring in POFA2012 or similar as they debated a motion against these parking scumpanies not long ago

Search the forum for obvious keywords. No thread was needed if you'd just done a search:

'Scotland'

or

'Debt recovery plus landmark'



Fed up with so many similar threads where no-one has searched & read what's already here. Sorry...quiet rant...bored with this.
