CSTs current form appears to be:
Issue LBCs for multiple tickets then issue a claim 
Issue LBCs for single tickets but then no claim.

do they always bother to show up at court, or is the issuance of a claim a bully tactic in the hope of scaring a few into paying?

CST have been known to show up in court and then to get a spanking.from the judge

CST have become a joke and you can read about them here
They are under investigation by the SRA ..

I note the directors of CST Law are also directors of Zenith, Debt Recovery Plus, Parking Collection Services ... surprised they don't also have a courthouse to their name and deal with the entire journey.

Perhaps they will when this Government decides to privatise HM Courts Service.

YUP ... Incest is rife in the parking scam

Quick update (or not):  

If you're a keen follower of this drama, you may remember that in a previous episode a complaint was made to the SRA and they promised to let us know how they were getting on in early August.

Well, now it IS early August, and I've had an e-mail from the nice people at SRA. The good news is that the case is still being progressed; the bad news is that they've asked me - and presumably other complainants - NOT to share any further information publicly.

I wonder why that is?
Could it be that they want to keep complaints about solicitors hidden from the wider world?

Personally, I would disregard that request.  IMO the matter of dodgy law firms is of considerable public interest.

I will post this on my own thread as well, but thought it might be of more general interest.

I sent a Without Prejudice offer to Parking Ticketing Ltd, who are the named claimant on the court claim I have received. They have responded same day and said they cannot correspond with me, and that I should reply to the company who are "sending the letters". I presume they mean CST Law.

Surely this is rubbish? If they are the claimant then they are the only party to whom I allegedly owe money and so they are the only party who can agree a settlement?

Any thoughts/advice?

the bad news is that they've asked me - and presumably other complainants - NOT to share any further information publicly.

Perhaps you should write and ask them, in the interests of trust and transparency between you and them, could they kindly explain why that should be the case. 

Nice and polite. The response might be interesting. 😊

Wonder what the SRA are scared of ??  As a simple members club they have no authority to say that .. unless you sign a gagging order

What are the SRA trying to hide ???

Do ask them why "NOT to share any further information publicly."     it is a public issue with CST .....  Bet the SRA wom't reply putting them firmly in the same category as CST

They have already explained the reasons @Umkomaas (and @patient_dream and @D_P_Dance and @KeithP )  They are aware that CST monitor forums like this.  SRA have committed to providing further updates periodically, and I will post any relevant information here if and when it becomes available.
