Park watch fine from Nov 2016

Fgibson96

Hi guys, need some advice.
Early this year I received a letter from Gladstone Solicitors regarding a “over stay” Car Parking fine from 2016. 

I immediately went back to them requesting all information because I hadn’t ever received the original correspondence.

 After months waiting they come back to me(still not showing me proof of original letter) advising when it was from, the car in question etc. i explained that this was sent to an old address, and I was completely unaware, so 6 years later to be demanding money is not fair. I have lived at 2 addresses since the one they sent the original correspondence too and they would know this from their traces. 

I’ve been waiting for two months again for a response from them and their recent correspondence is yet again then demanding money for their client. £170. I cannot remember why I would have over stayed, the timings are really odd, and the location is not somewhere you would stay over 5hrs so it’s all together very confusing. 

Does anyone know whether I have a leg to stand on considering it’s been 6years???

Hi, the other post has been removed - so I need this one open

I hope you noted from that what I advised about activating a delaying mechanism to get this past the 6-year November anniversary date?  But you're months away from that, 6 years have not yet been reached. 

Why was the other thread deleted, that had more important information in it than this one does right now?

I don’t know why the other thread has been removed, but it just won’t let me find it.

ah, ok… so Nov this year would be the cut off

You need to be clear about the actual date of the parking event in November 2016.

Does the latest letter from Gladstones say they will issue a court claim without further notice? Have they already issued a LBC?

You need to carefully time all responses and tie them up till November.
