    Thanks Beamerguy, i know most templates do outline the standards they should follow when they issue an LBC (if thats even what QDR are implying) and no such standards are being followed according to the template i mentioned when replying to them. Would i need include this when reporting to trading standards, I've never had to report a company before so sorry don't know how to approach!

    Look, a LBC that is a real one, must now follow the new
    procedure which means they must prove their claim to you
    in detail and then give you 30 days to respond.

    These companies cannot duck and dive as the new procedure
    is a legal requirement
    If they take you court, you must satisfied they have 100%
    followed the new procedure escpecially as a judge will
    now look to ensure they have.

    If they do start proceedings which as you can see is
    very slim, then this forum will help you.
    In the meantime, you are under no obligation to
    respond to a scammer and as the the courts already
    know about the parking scammers, the case will be based
    on facts about the issue of tickets, it's only a county court.

    You must form your own letter to TS and words like
    extortion and harassment will go a long way.

    Just look at these debt collector letters like ticket touts
    who add their huge sums well and above market rates

    Are you taking legal advice from " someone I know who works for another one of those companies - Mortimer Clarke - also know under Cabot"?
  • No Im not taking legal advice from them, she tells me about the things she does at her work and I just ask questions to gauge what she does and how things stand, but I am also aware that the company does not have the best reviews either

    Have you put the acronym QDR in...and searched the forum for POSTS*?

    Twenty seconds and you'd have hundreds of results. Been done to death recently.

    Always change the search default 'show threads' (don't go there!) to 'show posts'.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
