SCS law - Letter before claim Help!

Seventy2

Thanks for the confirmation, I sent the rebut letter off. So I take it that now I just wait and see what happens?

Yes, see if a court claim follows.

CP Plus are not particularly known for it but SCS Law do some for another parking firm so you can't be sure. Defendable anyway!

Hello again,

I know its been a while but there has been some news regarding my situation. After sending off the rebut letter back to SCS I eventually receive a letter from DRP thanking me for the communication and claiming that they were compliant with POFA and that there were windscreen stickers applied and that I should look at the included images as proof (but they did not actually include any images.... lol.) And that I should still pay fines etc. So naturally I ignored this as advices on the newbie threads.

Fast forwards a few month I receive another letter, this time the letter is sent Royal Mail Signed For, I was not at home, so someone else signed for delivery of the letter, when I opened the letter Its once again from DRP however from a collections manager (Who's name I won’t mention) stating that I owe over £3000 for multiple parking charges. They included a personal contact number and email to arrange a payment method and if they are not contacted in around 10 days’ time they will "report back to the client to take legal action". The letter also quotes the whole Dundee Sheriff Court case that happened recently as well as the usual ParkingEye v Beavis case.

I know the usual response is to just ignore DRP as stated in the newbie forum and as I have previously done so, it’s just the whole Royal Mail Signer For letter that’s throwing me off slightly, surely if they are spending the extra money to track the letter this means they probably keeping records for court etc.? Should I reply with something or just carry of ignoring.

Thanks in advance.

carry on IGNORING (but store all paperwork for about 5 to 6 years , just in case)

if this is in scotland and if you get a court claim from the sheriffs office, come back for help

DRP are powerless in england and wales, and totally powerless in scotland

the only people who can issue a court claim are the parking company and probably by using a scottish solicitor for scottish cases

so its letters by scottish solicitors or the scottish small claims court claim system that uses sheriffs that you should take notice of

if its a claim in england , then its an LBC from the solicitors or from the PPC, or an MCOL from Northampton by post that you need help with

not DRP letters

They are very good at scary letters aren't they? That's their job, to send scary letters.

i would reveal nothing. Say nothing. Admit nothing. Get an envelope and send them nothing.

Many thanks once again Redx

Yeah I've had a look at all that, but as a result of this dundee case maybe they will start taking more action eventually

Redx

the DUNDEE case was aimed at a driver who admitted driving and parking on multiple occasions and so was taken to court and was taken to the cleaners

a driver has ALWAYS been liable for their actions, so if a PPC knows who a driver was they can issue court proceedings anywhere in the UK against that driver

this is why we tell people not to admit or to infer who was driving

various court cases could be used against a driver, like Barry Beavis OVER 18 MONTHS AGO WHEN HE LOST FOR THE THIRD TIME

DRP CANNOT INITIATE A COURT CASE, THEY CAN SEND OUT SCARY LETTERS AND THEN PASS IT BACK TO THE PPC

this means they have not done their job and so do not get paid

the PPC would then have to do something else to carry the farce on , drp would no longer be involved and will have lost out on all their postage and paper and envelopes and letter writing costs

Thank you Redx, ill be sure to return if i hear something from a solicitor or the courts. Lets hope that with CP Plus's track record it won't come to that haha.
