Smart Parking Ltd solicitors letter
AdeleLisa
Posts: 46 Forumite
Last week I received a solicitors letter on behalf of Smart Parking.
I’ve been fined in total £680. I have in total four parking fines.
18/5/2018- £170
26/52018- £170
01/6/2018- £170
22/6/2018- £170
I have received no ticket at the time I was fined, the car park is at the back of Iceland in the town I live in. I didn’t see any pay and display machine or notice. How can I challenge this? Is it fair to send out a solicitors letter threatening me that if I don’t pay I will be taken to court? These fines were for last year!!!!
If when I received the first fine I would of bought a ticket the second time I parked in the car park and probably paid the fine! But now I owe £680
They have obviously contacted DVLA and got my details. It mentions ATAs code of practice what ever that means.
I’ve never broken the law, never received a council parking ticket but as this is a private car park I guess there are different rules.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I have I’ll health and this is just causing so much worry that I can’t sleep at night

Are you based in England/Wales, or Scotland?
Which solicitors are involved?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.

And the solicitors being .......... Gladstones ?????
No ticket has a value of £170 ... max £1000 -
The solicitors are Gladstone, The amount due includes £70 Claimed by the client (smart parking) I have just now raised a complaint and have been emailed From smart parking
Please be advised that as per the British parking association code of practice paragraph 22.7 all speaks must be submitted to us within 28 days of notice to keeper being issued. Due to the length of time your PCN has been open we have now referred this to debt recovery plus. Who are handling the matter on our behalf
Yes I live in England.
No ticket at time of parking now I get all this in a matter of two days:T:T Adele:T:T0 -

Gladstones on the scam again ? The letter from Gladstones, does it ask you to pay DRP0 -
Yes it does say DRP!!:T:T Adele:T:T0

The V5s address is where i currently live so they have obviously contacted DVLA:T:T Adele:T:T0

Yes it does say DRP!!
OK, well this is the incompetent Gladstones pimping out their letterhead ...... It's a WONGA operation, and this is a debt collector letter.
Now, debt collectors involved in the parking scam must be treated as morons and IGNORED. Trust us, we see this rubbish every day

For the moment you ignore this rubbish. Next will probably be a Letter Before Claim from Gladstones which must prove their claim and give you 30 days to respond.
When that happens, come back here and we will help you to

I can’t believe there are such kind people around that have taken the time to help me today! I cannot express how thankful I am to you and to the others that have replied. I will follow your instructuctions and will let you know if I receive anymore threats!
Your a star
Thank you xxxx:T:T Adele:T:T0 -
In your opening post you say that you "received no ticket at the time", then I am puzzled why you did not receive four Notice to Keeper in the two weeks following each event.0
