Do I need to include PCN number too?0

When you write a letter you always head it up formally, with address, date , 'your ref' etc.
In fact ''yours sincerely'' goes with 'Dear (named firm)', not 'faithfully' which follows 'Dear Sirs'.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I was going to send it by email, do I have to send it by letter through the post?0

This doesn't make sense, it seems to stop, were you going to put something else after ..... and, when costs come to be considered, I will request £nn for example.I reserve the right to draw any failure of the Claimant to comply with the protocol to the attention of the court and to ask the court to stay the claim and order you to comply with its pre-action obligations, and when costs come to be considered.
Grammatically, for your points 2 & 3 you should use "If" rather than "Whether" because Whether introduces an either/or situation for example "whether you are pursuing me as keeper or driver".
Probably won't bother the court but it doesn't hurt to be correct.1 -
Hi guys,
I sent the letter to the parking company. I received a reply from one of the people saying "I have received your letter and am not sure how you would like me to help you".
They have listed a mobile number to contact them.
How do i respond?0 -
For goodness sake, so many simple questions.
Write to them again, enclosing your previous letter, get a paper trail going, judges love a paper trail. Never speak to a PPC or debt collector on the 'phone.
Have you complained to your MP yet?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.1 -

You don't, not by phone! Rogue Parking firms don't ''help you'' and NO-ONE EVER phones them. As TD says, you could simply send another copy of your letter and say:
I'm waiting for your evidence, and will not be telephoning you about this 'outrageous scam' (Hansard, 2.2.18, Parliamentary debate about rogue parking firms, where Gladstones and IPC AOS members were named and shamed).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

** UPDATE **
I have now received a letter before claim from Gladstones demanding the money or they will take me to court. I have linked a printscreen of the template letter:

Do I act differently or shall I adapt the letter I sent to Euro Parking Services and send it to Gladstones?0 -

As you say, that is a Letter Before Claim.
Post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread tells you how to deal with it.
There are sample responses in there. You must respond robustly.
You do not have to login to their website for any reason.
In your response make sure you ask them to send you all the information they are required to send you.1 -
How should I contact them other than using their website? There is no email address directly to Gladstones Solicitors0
