Gladstones / Debt Recovery Plus

JScott1983

Hi Guys,

I’m now in a similar position to Multron post of last April.. Had at least Three letters from a debt recovery agency, usual threatening spiel so I just ignored!

I too now have a Gladstones solicitor’s letter starting with…

We have been instructed by SHIELD SECURITY SERVICES LTD in relation to the above debt. Our client now has the option to commence proceedings in the appropriate civil court. This right exists for six years from the date of the parking charge although it’s our clients preference to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Our client would therefore like to provide you with this opportunity to contact their agent (Debt Recovery Plus) to make the full payment in sum of £149 thereby avoiding any future court action blah, blah, blah……

I fully understand that I need to create a defense to this letter but I’m a little lost on which template to use?

My letter reference doesn’t start with a 1 or 3, it starts with a 4 so wondered if you guys could point me in the right direction

Are you sure this needs a " defence"?

You should ignore everything except court correspondence or a letter before court action

why are you being asked to contact DR+ , can you not see that DR+ wrote that letter on baldystones rented paper?

never contact a debt collection company with regards to private parking

if they want to pursue it , then they will , https://bmpa.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203673802-Shield-Security-Services-Yorkshire-Ltd

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Parking Eye, Smart and a smaller company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (who take hundreds of these cases to court, and nearly always lose), who have also been reported to the regulatory authority. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.[/FONT]

Only 2 court cases in the last 3 years.

I think you're a long way from having to 'create a defense' (sic) - even an American one!
