  • Did they really say ...
    "You have received this notice because A BUSINESS intends to take you to court in relation to a debt..." ??

    Is Del Boy working for them now  ......sacre bleu Rodney

  • Thanks @Coupon-mad I will do. I reckon they'll come after me with a court claim so if does reach that stage then I'll open a separate thread.

    @patient_dream they did indeed. I'll post here in case it's one of their new 'wordings' which may have someone else worried.

    OK, so just a template they send to everyone, be it parking or not

    But this is the infamous scam parking industry where CST will be very hrd pressed to win and will probably get a court spanking

    Please can you show the horrific sheet asking for income/outgoings? I could do with a copy for evidence that we need a new PAP.

  • No problem. I take it this the one you need? Let me know if you need any of the other ones. 


  • Hello
    How do I deal with this?
    I haven't heard anything from Met Parking since I took the original fine into Macdonalds and the Manager told me he would get it cancelled.
    How come I have now received this and nothing else?
    I terrified I'm going to end up with a CCJ

    It's a claim form. Start a new thread quickly.

  • Hi, 

    I acknowledge the requests of the board members ad nauseum to avoid duplicating requests, but I wanted to throw in a variation that might be new. 

    Essentially,
    • CST Law LBC letter received today, dated 22nd November. The format is just the same as the most recent ones. 
    • Alleged contravention is Oct 2019 - and the Claimant is Anchor Security Services t/a Care Parking 
    • I ignored a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Limited a couple of months ago - that was the first letter I have received in relation to all this and a quick glance at the forums suggested to ignore these - I'll admit I didnt do a deep dive though. 
    • Not denying the contravention took place HOWEVER I received a PCN in the post in April 2020 which from memory referred to something in 2019, which I paid £60 to make go away. (I know, what a mug!). I didn't keep the letter as I considered the matter closed. 
    • They never contacted me at the time about another contravention so they are either a) chancing it with a charge that was already paid or b) they have failed to let me know about the second one in the time since. 
    • Worth noting that I moved house in Nov 2020, then again in May 2021 where I have been since - driving licenses and V5 certificates updated accordingly within a month or so of moving on each one. Possible that I have missed letters, but I've been static for 30 months now, so they're clearly not quick on their feet. 

    Basically, my question is, beyond following post #2 on the NEWBIES thread, does any of the above change anything? I am also assuming that a SAR will show up any payments made and therefore what it is in relation to? 


    Additionally, no question, just want to highlight that one of the directors who has links to a number of the collection agencies is also a former director of various Capita Pensions companies, a post she held for four years. Like I say, no question, more just dismay and confusion about how people get involved in these sorts of companies.

    Cheers
    Morning! I don't know if this was ignored because it's a stupid question, but to summarise the above;

    Is there precedent for these cowboys to chance it and sometimes reignite cases that have been paid off, or is it likely here that they have a second incident that they haven't contacted me about?

    Has there been anyone else who just paid the initial PCN to make it go away, but still got chased later on down the line? 

    Any help appreciated

    If you paid the 'discounted' amount after the 28 day 'offer' period, it won't have 'made it go away'. They are likely treating it as an unpaid PCN. Send the PPC a SAR to find out what they have about you. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    And obviously DON'T throw good money after bad!  Should never have paid £60.  Ignore.
