Hi
I did contact my MP, the MP for Norfolk and Sir Greg Knight (steered new bill) but you fall into a gap because my MP cannot act as outside their region and the other MPs cannot contact me as I am not in their constituency!

Sounds like your MP is one of the PPCs' allies

Nonsense, of course they can act.

Absolutely - your own MP can assist you and pass on details to a colleague who's putting together supporting details for things like a motion, amendment or complete private members bill.

"However, there is a is a strict parliamentary convention that prevents MP’s from dealing with issues or problems raised by persons who do not live in the area they represent. I am afraid therefore, due to parliamentary protocol,...."


My MP did pass on the details but has stated that they cannot offer direct advice on this matter.
I will be contacting them to ask that they ensure that the future appeals process is independent and parking companies are held responsible for there actions, some (many?), of which could be seen as entrapment.

I'd be reminding your MP that they can work with the other MP to get information to pass back to you and that it's not against parliamentary protocol for multiple MPs to pool information to help all of their constituents: what do they think Sir Greg Knight did to draft his private members bill?

But, sadly, it does seem that some of our so-called elected representatives lack basic common sense

Hello

Have you heard anything from the Port of Wells Harbour regarding the byelaws situation?

Would you recommend writing to Civil Enforcement or the 'solicitors' to inform them about the byelaws or just wait and see if they take court action and then mention it?

Thanks
Liz

Hi

Thanks for your help and advice re the byelaws at Port of Wells. Could you advise whether it is best to contact CE Ltd with this information or just produce it as evidence in court. Ive had a letter giving me 30 days before court action so its looking like thery're going down that route.

Many thanks
Liz

lizk39, you've mentioned nothing on your own thread about having received a Letter of Claim.

Hi
You said to come back to you if needed and I would appreciate more advice. Since I last wrote here I have had two letters demanding payment which I acknowledged receipt of but denied any liability.
I have now received a further letter increasing the demand to £140 and stating that they will instruct 3rd party collection agents .
They then state that following above they may then instruct their legal department to commence proceedings.
1. Should I acknowledge reciept of this letter and deny liability or ignore it?
2. Am I correct that they cannot instruct 3rd party UNTIL they have had a court judgement in their favour?
3. What do we do if they do arrive at the door?
I am quite prepared to go to court over this matter as I do not believe they have grounds to make this charge.
Thonk you for your help

Ignore them.

2. Am I correct that they cannot instruct 3rd party UNTIL they have had a court judgement in their favour?

You are incorrect. They could instruct an outfit like Debt Recovery Plus - totally powerless shower. Read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #4 for advice about debt beggars. But chances are, they won't, rather they will issue court proceedings in due course, their usual MO. Come back on this thread if they do.

3. What do we do if they do arrive at the door?

Nothing, because they won't.

Thank you, I'm not brill at these things but I have found (pretty sure!) the newbie advice you refer to, I have put the kettle on and the letter will be left to gather dust.

If anyone did turn up (they won't), then call the police
