    Isn't there a post in the NEWBIES thread that addresses the topic of a SAR?

    Edit: indeed there is. No point in continually asking questions which are already covered. 🙄
  • Hi. New to this but have went through the Newbies section. I received a LETTER BEFORE CLAIM from CST Law " instructed by DRP" as the agent of SMART PARKING for a rather large amount for multiple PCNS plus CSTlaw added £15 per ticket to the £170 per ticket charge. I'm based in Scotland and car park is also in Scotland.  Should I be following the SAR advice? Any advice would be greatly appreciated , Thanks

    Just ignore everything ... Scotland and Smart Parking = no chance of this going further than a few annoying letters. In the highly unlikely event that you get an actual court claim then please come back (probably with your own new thread).

    How many do you have? Smart are one of the more active claimants in the Scottish courts then other operators, 
    seen LBC;s for Northern Ireland involving Smart over 9K recently and territory where parking firms dont normally venture i would certainly think they will try given the sums involved
    Dont be led in to a false sense of security that just because your norther of T'wall you are safe....... (not saying pay up OR that they will issue a claim, but the maths are there for big claims

    ive no idea BUT id say there is a chance they have a won fair number of claims , just like in any of the 50+ hearings (on average) per day up and down the country in the English Courts.
