Your email tells the solicitor:
(a) I am seeking debt advice...
It doesn't say anything about seeking legal advice, does it?2 -
How are people stumbling across the truly ancient thread by Lazy Daisy? It is out of date which is why it is not linked in the NEWBIES.
AND - get ANGRY and GET EVEN about this scam! Please now make a real difference:
A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER:
The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms. Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.
You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.
https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section
You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.
And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters, and MUST GO because that is unfair and illegal.
Please be heard. You can bet the hundreds of PPCs will be commenting.No apologies for repeating this vital 'call for action' to consumers, on every thread this month!
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I PM'd Crabman some time ago asking him to remove that line from his post, but he hasn't signed in to the forums for three months now.
I also got into a dialogue with @soolin but nothing came of that.1 -
