It was dated the 10th of January...

OK, fourteen days. The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims says they must give thirty days notice.

So the fact that they are threatening me with County Court Judgment action?

Can you please quote their threat exactly?

Redx

a proper formal LBC gives 30 days notice and includes financial forms to fill in (dont) - nothing to do with parking , just court procedures etc

if it was one of those , you might write back and deny the alleged debt, or not

you would also email a SAR to the DPO at Armtrac , if you havent already

if its none of the above, you disregard and wait for what I said above

the real test is an MCOL court claim pack from the CCBC in Northampton, until then its all hot air , p*** and wind, dont fall for it, its bluster

no CCJ can happen without that court case


sounds more like bluster to me, typical nonsemsical alarmist bull ££££

the letter says.

Dear .........
Our Client: KBT Cornwall t/a Armtrac Security Services and the date 26 August 2019
with an account number and the charge of £160

We have been instructed by KBT Cornwall Ltd t/a Artmtrac security in relation to the balance due for the above Parking Charge Notice ("PCN"). The balance due includes the £100 PCN Charge, plus our client's debt recovery cost of £60.00, which are detailed in our client's terms and conditions. These are clearly displayed on our client's signage at the contravention location. As you have failed to either make a payment or raise a valid appeal that resulted in your appeal being upheld, the balance due remains outstanding and we require payment in full by 24 January 2020. If you fail to make a payment or provide reasons for non-payment by 24 January 2020, further collections activity (which could be, where relevant, letters, emails, calls, sms) will continue.

Next Stages- Countygs Court Proceedin
If you do not make payment of the balance or contact us with valid reasons for non-payment, then in accordance with the Pre Action Protocol for debt claims, we will issue a Pre Action Protocol Letter before claim and on expiry take our client's instructions to commence legal proceedings against you without further notice.........

It then says about what to do next but it sounds like a threat letter more than anything else

So it's not threatening court.

It is instead threatening to tell KBT that you won't pay and asking KBT what they should do next.

Those words that I have emboldened tell you that they are yet to issue a compliant Letter Before Claim.

Markcus

So ignore this one like the others and wait to see where they go from here?

Thanks

Well there's no mention of 'court' there then.

Unless you're frightened by 'letters, emails, calls, sms' to cause you to rush for your [STRIKE]toilet[/STRIKE] chequebook, what do you think you should do?

Markcus

Letters will be saved and used as evidence of harassment as well as sms and email I suppose as I can prove I purchased a ticket and sent it to them when they first wrote to me and been told nope it's too late I believe a case of might be able to be made in some way or other

Markcus

I have just received a letter from BW Legal which is a letter of claim, gives me 30 days to reply, what do I do now as they are now starting to threaten CCJ

Markcus

I emailed Armtrac asking for a copy of the information from the machine at the carpark and not only have they told me they don't have the access they have also just emailed me back to say that they didn't receive my letter of appeal stating I had purchased a ticket, but I have got an email stating they they had
