Charge for not displaying permit

Ricey87

My letter offers a reduced price to settle and then states:

"If a settlement is not made by the above date the case will be progressed to our Solicitiors for full debt recovery action which may include County Court."

Would you class this a LBCCC?

I'm struggling to find info on the pre-court rules changing. Do you have a link?

In a nut shell if you don't get a LBC before 1st October 2017 the rules change to make it much harder for GS to send a compliant LBC as they would have to provide much more information which doesn't suit their robo-claim automated process.

Have you read my Admiral staff car park thread? Does any of the contractual points apply to you (ie that your right to park was granted by your employer and is nothing to do with the PPC who can't after-impose terms)?

Ok, would you class my letter as a LBC? It states that the next step "may" include county court action.

The right to park was granted by the employer, but the permit issued was via UKCPS who state on the permit that it must be shown at all times.

This is a desperate letter offering a discount with
added threats. These vermin know it works with some, but not you

What do they mean by "full debt recovery action" ??
These idiots sound just like Donald Trump

The only recovery available is via their solicitor and then
that can only happen if it goes to court.
There is no other means available to them to extort money

As usual they will use the highly incompetent Gladstones

This is the type of case that a judge will give Gladstones
yet another whooping in court

More threat-o-grams will follow and this will take you well
past the 1st October when Gladstones will have their work
cut out proceeding with any claim

With such a workload for each claim with the new procedure,
it's not financially worth it for such a small amount.

Why UKCPS even bother with Gladstones is beyond us all

It really is like being at the Mad Hatters tea party

The use of "may" indicates it is probably in the meaningless threats stage but to confirm we would have to see the letter (with personal information and all references redacted).
Does it say "Letter Before Claim" or "Letter Before Action" at the top of the letter and who is the letter really from (e.g. who is it telling you to pay)

Ok, so should I ignore it and wait to see if they do send a LBC?
