Gladstones

Hi - sorry if this has been answered . I have read everywhere. Had a ticket form two years ago from PCM Ltd. Entered a road outside a station - a car was pulling out so I was stopped waiting for them to go round me 52 secs. In meantime passenger from station got in car. So have been fined for waiting and not parking !
Did the SAR and got al the phots which clearly show a car in way so i can't park.   Had LBC from Gladstone wanting £170. Now I have the photos which clearly show a car in the way . Do I now respond to gladstone via their online portal 
I already appealed the initial ticket and asked them to prove they had a contract to issue penalties on the land - they provided nothing but dismissed appeal.
Thanks in advance

    You do the LBC response that the NEWBIES thread says, plus the robust wording used in all other Gladstones LBC threads now. And you can add that the car was clearly giving way on the road, not parked, so any claim will be meritless and unreasonable.

    We want you to have fun with this one ? ..... GLADSTONES ?  probably the most unprofessional and incompetent legal in the great parking scam ?

    Do Gladstones know the real srory .... of course not, they are just a robo claimer and when PCM says someone owes us money, Gladstones jump in ..... well, they have to because Gladstones set up the scam IPC/IAS TO WHICH PCM are members.

    You did not park, you do not owe £170 and not the fake £70 Gladstones have added ?   THIS IS JUST A GLADSTONES SCAM DREAM and the courts have told them many times

    Another game is on with the pathetic Gladstomes

    Did you find this on the NEWBIE sticky, if so, go back there and continue reading: -
    SMALL CLAIM?
    IF YOU HAVE A THREAD, REPLY ON IT, DON'T START A NEW ONE.

    Pre-action stage:
    If you have a 'Letter of claim' or Letter Before Claim (LBC), a claim IS likely. I mean a 'real' LBC with a 30 day deadline and reply forms.

    I did - I did the SAR request and now just need to reply to Gladstones - do I literally just say i dispute the claim. Mention  that  the car was clearly giving way on the road, not parked and send the pics, so any claim will be meritless and unreasonable. And say i will be reporting to the SRA ? I have searched for  'Just copy the robust response about reporting them to the SRA' but cannot find it anywhere....
    Thanks so much

    No, you search the forum for Gladstones LBC and change the search filter to 'newest' and read at least twenty recent Gladstones LBC threads.

    Copy what's been discussed recently.
