    Reading all these posts I decided to write my comment.
    I got ticket from this company and when appealed with proof of address,copy of permit which I have for past 8 years living under this address they refused to cancel their penalty chargE. ( the reason was that I didn't display on that day as my car was in garage and forgot to put it back. In 8 years this one time all here we go. Whatever proof I would send ,they wouldn't accept my apeal.
    Therefore I started to research and found this .please please give me some advice . Thank u in advance !

    Hello , as you said im back with a letter from these BIT~^$3 - gladstones solicitors this is a second letter from this company, i cannot paste the text from the first one as a little piece has been torn off but i will paste everything from the second one called "final reminder",

    Re- Our client = parking control management uk limited
    amount due - 160.00
    Reg - ..

    We have previously written to you requesting settlement of a parking charge. As you will already know, due to the absence of payment or a valid appeal against the charge , we are instructed to recover the total amount due to our client as shown above.

    As you have not either made payment or contacted us in respect of the charge, we may now be instructed to issue legal proceedings against you in the county court. To prevent such action, we invite you to make payment immediately or contact us confirming your proposals in respect of this debt.

    in orded to avoid any further action you should pay the full amount outstanding within 7 days of this letter. You can make payment online at https://www.gscollections.com, or by calling.

    please note -- the additional costs associated with issuing a claim and the subsequent potential enforcement action could be as follows - these fiuguers are for illustration purpose only and would only apply in the event of judgement being obtained and subsequently enforced.)

    claim issue fee - £25
    solicitors costs for issue of claim £50
    judgment cists - £25
    warrant issue - £100
    solicitors costs for issue of warrant £2.50
    total additional costs £202

    it is important that you understand that if a judgment is registered against you then this could seriously affect your chances of obtaining credit in the future as the information can be made available to any interested parties via register of judgments, orders fines and will remIN THERE FOR 6 years,

    if you are unsure about anything contained within this letter you should seek advice from a solicitor or contact one of the following organisations who may help you - national debt line bla bla

    Turn off your Caps lock, and stop panicking, and go and make a cup of tea.

    Right, now you have your cuppa read back through this thread, have you contacted the management company and told them that they must cancel this charge, have you told them that they are jointly and severely liable for the actions of their agents ( the parking company) and that they may be liable for any costs that you incur as a result of this parking charge ( including your time at upto £19/hour)
    Have you also informed the manage company that they may also be liable for a breach of the data protection act ( as a result of the actions of their agents) and this could be a sum of around £450

    Oh, and if you havent guessed, they can not hurt your credit rating, but you have more than enough ammunition to fire back at the parking company and the management company that took them on.

    Stop worrying, stop panicking and fight back
    the £202.25+£160 is meaningless

    There is also scope to get in touch with Gladstones and tell them that your data has been obtained without good cause by the parking company ( plus give the reasons why) and that you are making a formal demand under section 10 of the data protection act for Gladstones to stop processing your data with immediate effect, failure to do so may result in the matter being reported to the ICO, as well as a ( separate/additional ) claim under the Data protection act for ( at least)£250

    aleks1244, I agree with the others, please calm down.

    Yes Gladstones might well start a claim.

    But no, that does not affect your credit rating, not even of you lose, unless you ignored court papers or refused to pay up right at the end if you lost at a hearing. Not going to happen, is it? Even Gladstones admitted that, but you are panicked so you didn't notice they were merely talking about a case where someone does not defend/refuses to pay after a Judge tells them to:
    ''these figures are for illustration purpose only and would only apply in the event of judgement being obtained and subsequently enforced.''


    What might happen is a claim and we will help you with a defence to a court claim. I can't recall any MSE-assisted ones being lost in the whole of 2016 v Gladstones. We know what we are doing.

    DO NOT PHONE THEM.

    DO NOT PAY.

    As for this letter, search this forum for: 'Gladstones LBCCC' and copy and adapt a response that someone has done before, recently in late 2016. Read more than one result of your search, decide what your response will be and show us first. When Redx says: 'get in touch with Gladstones' he means in writing.

    Yes reply anyway (even late) as it looks better at your hearing later, if you do not ignore a LBCCC. This is all covered in other threads about replying to a Gladstones LBCCC, easily searched for. Everyone asks the same questions.

    Relax. We know what we are doing. Yes it sounds scary. But we will assist with defence wording.

    So, do the search.
