I have received a letter from ELMS Legal?

You need to find out exactly what this is about, otherwise everyone is guessing.

I was just upset.. this letter is about a car park fine in Morissons 5 years ago.

It is not a fine, it is an invoice from an ex clamper, have you not read the newbies at the top of the index page?

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully, when life gets back to normal, it will become impossible for those scammers who are left to continue their vile trade, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

Elms legal only send out letters following judgments..............

It might be much more that that TD - a real possibility that it's a judgment in default. Have you not read the thread details?

Not on this letter no

So do you have another letter that refers to a court judgment awarded against you?

At the bottom of the letter it says
Yours sincerely 
The "debt assist team" at ELMS Legal ltd.

I dont want to make my grandmother sad by having a bailiff at the door 

First thing to do is check your credit file to see if you have a CCJ against you
Elms did something similar in Nottingham recently whereby the case  was halted by the court last year.
The person then got a filthy letter from Elms saying she had a CCJ and demanding nearly £300. There never was a CCJ ??? The judge gave Elms legal such a battering that the "Elms !!!!!!" was probably black and blue for days.  Elms have proven themselves to be a complete joke.

So, check if you have a CCJ FIRST.  If not, then you ask Elms to provide you with a court case number, and date

Due to the virus, doubt they will call as Elms are not an essential to be wandering the streets.  But, if they do knock, you call the police because with the info provided, you cannot be expected to know what this is all about. The Police by the way happily escort these types off the premises

If the letter is addressed to YOU, then your Grandmother is not involved at all.

You are very kind i would like to hug you

Yes I will do this, I hope i dont have to call the police as my grandmother would get worried. If they turn up i will tell them to leave my premesis 

HA, well I only let ladies who are virus free hug me
Don't worry about it, I suspect from what I know that Elms have turned in a rogue trader and as such act illegally
