Hello just an update on your last quote received a claim form dated 7 th may, issued by cst law for ukcps ltd . I'm now going to go through newbies thread to file the acknowledgement of service and then send defence to the court. 

If you've now got an actual claim, this is the time to open a new thread, because ongoing support could be detailed and there's a real danger that other posts relating to others joining this group thread will cause lots of confusion - something you don't want now you're at the business end of proceedings. 

Thanks I will do

Be good to see a copy of their claim so we can see how flawed it is ?

Hi Guys, I have what I believe to be a newer kind of LBC letter from CST Law that I received yesterday (19.05.21) chasing a payment for a from Euro Car Parks PCN from over 2 years ago now. I have attached images with the important parts redacted. 

This is the first time in a long while I have had any letters regarding the issue. I have looked about on countless forums and the similar letters have the following "We are instructed by DRP, an agent of PPC" but this has "instructed by Euro Car Parks". I was about to pay it and be done with it, then I found this forum and the most latest posts. 

I have read what some of you have said regarding it being another "debt recovery letter" and its just another criminal scare tactic. But, I just want to make sure I am okay ignoring this letter. 

Background: 
They don't know who the driver was and I have never responded to any previous letters (DRP, Zenith, CST).

Would really appreciate your input. 

Cheers.

@MancLad11, that is a valid Letter Before Claim.

You should react to it as described in the first few paragraphs of the second post of the NEWBIES thread.

Cheers for clarifying, I am currently drafting the SAR to send to Euro Car Parks, which part of my V5C do I need to attach, or is it every page of it?

Top half of the front page is enough.
Just need enough to relate your name and address to the vehicle.

All sorted, thanks. I am having an issue finding a contact email for CST Law so I can declare I am seeking debt advice but deny any debt etc, I want try and keep everything on email if possible (stops the chances of them saying they never received a letter).
I have looked through the paperwork and no mention of an email address, the same online. Do any of you guys know of one?

You have, no doubt, found their Data Protection Officer's email address for sending the SAR - dataprotectionofficer@creditstyle.co.uk.

Two other email addresses from their website are compliance@creditstyle.co.uk and info@creditstyle.co.uk

Do I need to send them a SAR also? I thought that went to the PPC. Cheers for that, all I could find was a form to fill out on their website.

Yes, you are right. Don't know why I mentioned their DPO's email address. Sorry.
