    The Gladstones boys are on their scam rubbish again.

    They are asking you to pay the !!!!!! debt collectors who are as powerless as a dead fly.

    You don't owe £300, it's all part of the scam.

    THE £60 SCAM OPERATED BY DRP ?

    YOU MUST advise the Gladstones boys of your current address with a copy to the PPC requesting confirmation.

    You cannot afford any more letters going to the wrong address.

    When you advise them, you are THE KEEPER, never the driver

    Thanks - beamerguy. Ok I will contact Gladstones with a Subject Access Request and inform them of my current address as the kepper of the vehicle.

    Thanks. I will send a letter to Gladstone Solictors based on that thread in that case. I assume I still ignore the letters from DRP? Do you think you could shed any light on the outcome at this moment?

    Make sure you mark the SAR 'Subject Access Request' and address it to their Data Protection Officer (contact details should be in the Privacy page of their website).

    If you mean by 'shed any light on the outcome', will this progress to court (which most people are concerned with), it's impossible to give any guarantee, one way or the other.

    But I would advise you look at the following link, calculate the total number of tickets issued in the past 2.5 years (925,270), then count the number of court cases they have pursued during the same period (54) and work out what your prospect of a court hearing is (0.006%). You can take it from there.....

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
