LBC Smart Parking LTD - HELP PLEASE

Good ideas from Ralph-y. Also, some ideas for how to reply:
'As I explained in my email, we used cash when shopping at B&M. In the time period covered by the PCNs we bought .... (list as many items as you can remember, plus an estimate of how frequently you bought the same things if this applies).
If cash is used because money is very tight and paying by cash is the best way to keep to a tight budget, then mention that.
Add 'As loyal customers of B&M we really hope that cash payments don't jeopardise the chances of cancellation as this would be extremely unfair'. Continue with something like 'Cancellation of the parking charges is now the only possible way of ending what has become a nightmare. As the Registered Keeper I am now suffering extreme anxiety as a result of the uncertainty and the fear of a court appearance. I am not sure how I would cope with the ordeal and am very concerned about the possibility of losing and having to pay large sums of money which I cannot afford.'
Possibly something like 'I have been prescribed strong anti-depressants but while they help in some ways they make life even more difficult in other ways. I cannot believe that all this has happened because of shopping at B&M'.
Again, I'm making assumptions. Just seriously want you to get these horrible things cancelled.
Misty thank you so much for these ideas - I've sent another email so fingers crossed. I just want this nightmare to end now0 -
Hi all. Just thought I'd check in for an update...
The last I heard from Gladstones was that if there was no payment by a certain date (some time in June) then the next correspondence I'll receive will be regarding court action. So far I've received nothing apart from a letter from DRP reminding me of the alleged debt. Is it normal to be waiting so long for the court action, and to get another DRP letter in the meantime?0 -

They have up to six years to start any court claim, although they should issue a new Letter of Claim if too much time passes.
DRP make up their own rules. Let them waste their money sending meaningless letters if they wish.0
