Read advice, still don't know the best course of action

I owe it to you and Redx for the help as well as everyone else being screwed by PPCs. I'll do what I can in August.

As Coupon-mad said I got a "Scary" "Notice of intention to instruct solicitors to issue summons" letter from TNC this morning.

I get the impression I may receive a LBC in the near future.

My plan it to wait until I do in fact get an LBC and then follow the advice in the newbies post.
I also think it is possible the place I parked didn't actually have a sign on entry explaining the contract so photo evidence of that seems like a good idea.

Is there anything else I can do to prepare for an LBC?
Additionally for what reasons would I lose at court?

IMO there is very little chance of them winning a breach of contract claim in your circumastances  Have you complained to PALS and your MP?  Have you contacted your local paper?

Zzzag

No I haven't contacted any of those people you listed.
Other than NHS complaints team for where the parking claim was made.

What would the purpose be in contacting these people? to help raise awareness of the scummy practices PCNs use?

Did they really use that word?

They have used it - and it's been reported on the forum. I think we've advised posters to report them to the BPA (they are members), but whether they've done so, I'm not sure. 

Affected individuals must be prepared to go further than just having their parking charge cancelled - there's a much bigger picture in play.

It should also be reported to the SRA imo.

TNC are no more solicitors than you or me!  Just DCAs.

Then they should be reported to the Financial Conduct Authority!  I cannot, nor can any of the regulars on here but the OP can.

They're no more a registered FCA organisation than DRP, Zenith, ZZPS or any of the other unregulated debt crawlers in the private parking sector.

Since my last post I have received two more debt collectors letters from a different company, Credit Investigation Services titled "Risk Of Legal Action". I don't think this is an LBC so there is no problem there however it is still addressed to my old address.

When I first received a fine from NPE I was living with my parents and have since moved with them once and then moved out to my own flat. While there is currently mail forwarding meaning my parents are receiving the letters I have been unable to contact either CIS or NPE to update my address via email. My concern is that if I do eventually get a LBC it won't be delivered quickly to my address.

Is there anyway I can update my details with these companies? I have a burner sim card I could use in case calling them is necessary.

Thanks for any help!
