    OK, so like all previous letters, I'll ignore this one as well.
    I was just wondering if I now needed to respond to either company was all.

    Thanks

    You will need to respond of you get a LBCCC where DRPlus are not mentioned and which doesn't give the old, incorrect 'Red Cow Yard' address for Gladstones (which we assume this old template letter does). The wrong address is sure proof it's not really *from* any solicitor.

    Hi

    I have just received an LBCCC dated 4th December 2017.

    not sure what the next steps to take are.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Your next steps are to read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to discover how to robustly respond to that letter.

    Hi

    So having read Post #2 in the newbies thread, it is mentioned that there are new Pre-action protocols for debt claims, having read the details of this from the link provided to the hilldickinson website can someone please confirm that the following as written on the LBC under 'Particulars of Claim' that I have recieved conforms to this protocol:

    The driver of the vehicle registration XXXXXXX (the 'Vehicle') incurred the parking charge(s)on XX/XX/2016 for breaching the terms of parking on the land at XXXXXXXXX.
    - XXXXXXXX
    The Defendant was driving the Vehicle and/or is the Keeper of the Vehiclee.
    AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS
    £XXX for Parking Charges/Damages and indemnity costs if applicable, together with interest of £XX.XX pursuant to s569of the County Courtsd Act 1984at 8% pa, continuing to Judgement at £0.04 per day.
    there are several links to other threrads with repsonse that other people have made.

    Additionally as I had never written to either CPM or the debt collection company can I simply use the letter template as per Danial san post #290 as per the followiong link?

    forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=73208118#post73208118

    Obviously I will need to change dates...

    I will then need to post this off to Gladstones at Warrington as well as completing the rest of the paperwork on the claim form, specifically the response pack?

    I have gone back to the housing association to request confirmation of the grace period as I have been told by one houising officer that there is a ten minute grace period and by second that it is actually 15 minutes.

    Thanks in advance

    Thought you had an LBCCC, not an actual claim?

    If it's a LBCCC then there are newer examples, if you search the forum for 'solicitors immune' and change to only 'show posts' (an advanced search).

    A letter before claim is just a letter on the sender's own letter-heading, threatening court, and it should have enclosures.

    A claim is obvious, a form from the County Court Business Centre at Northampton, again with enclosures.

    Which have you got?
