    It's explained in the NEWBIES thread with a link to a template SAR.

    But have you emailed your proof to Gladstones and robustly told them to do one?
    Hi, thank you for your reply 

    i have asked gladstones if i could send in proof, they said it is too late to dispute and will need a solicitor im a student and cannot afford this at the moment
    No, you need to stop giving them so much respect and don't ask for permission.  Just send the DVLA proof to them and tell them to 'go swivel' or words to that effect.

    You do not need a solicitor.  Stop being scared of a scam and a roboclaim 'legal' firm.
    lmao, why didnt i think of this, i will do this first thing in the morning, im not paying half a grand for a fine that is simply not mines to pay, if they wanna take it to court so be it
    It isnt a fine . You have a v.good chance of winning this
    You have no idea how happy i am to hear this thank you, so where do i go from here? court? email them? 
    Wait for the court claim to come through the post then when it does come back here

    I would then out then put in bespoke defence not using the template defence on here concentrating soley on the issue of you not being the Registered Keeper.
    Thank you so much, i have already mocked up a defence statement just in case. i will hang tight till then, 
    When the claim form comes send me a message.

    It's more like Gladstones are doing their own head in ?

    Need to understand this.  Is the letter a "letter before claim" which should give you 30 days to respond, not 28 days.

    The amount claimed is a typical Gladstones fake. This what they do, after all, they set up the great IPC/IAS scam

    Assume you have it in writing when they say .. "it is too late to dispute and will need a solicitor"
    That is a blatant lie ... it's kiddies time at Gladstones again

    So the DVLA confirmed you were not the registered keeper at the time of these tickets ?
    Have you ever, when the vehicle was in your name, received a ticket from Euro?

    The question now is how did Euro get your details ?

    Of course you don't owe anything and if Gladstones are ignoring you as they do, and if it does go to court, the sheer incompetence of this robo claim legal will no doubt have a judge in fits of laughter while he sharpens up his whooping stick. and awards you costs, probably for unreasonable behaviour

    As others have already said email them (Gladstones) telling them you were not the registered keeper or driver at the time, along with a copy of the DVLA letter and TELL them to stop harassing you.

    Read the NEWBIES sticky.

    Send a SAR request to Euro Car parks.

    IF they are stupid enough to persist then follow the advice in that thread.

    hi, thank you for your reply

    yes i will be sending them the email first thing in the morning and also request the SAR right now, i appreciate your help, thank you

    Yeah do send the email with proof from the DVLA first.  If you know the new keeper's name and address, then state it in full and tell Gs you expect to hear no more.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    hi thank you for your reply

    basically, the best way i can explain the situation is. i had never received parking fines from euro i have from the council which had been paid off (maybe irrelavent) anyways euro sent me some fines which i admittedly ignored, then recieved county court business letters and the last letter i had received was from Gladstones early august stating if i do not pay they will take me to court, also i have a recording which proves the solicitor said those exact words even after telling them i was not the registered keeper, DVLA has confirmed this. And tbh i have no clue how Euro had gotten hold of my details and have requested an SAR from them

  • OK, but was the letter a "letter before claim" or simialar.  It will be the headline on the letter

    Any chance you can scan it and upload here ... redact your personal info

    Hello and welcome.

    So you have written proof from the DVLA that you weren't the registered keeper of the vehicle at the time of the alleged parking event. Have I got that right?

    What is the allegation being made?

    Who is the parking company?
    Hi, thank you for replying i was not able to finish my post since i didnt know how to edit it, it is my first time here, i have read a few posts regarding gladstones but i feel mine may be abit unique.

    To answer your questions:

    1. Yes i have legit proof from DVLA that the vehicle was not in my name when the fine was issued

    2. The allegation is that the vehicle was parked in a private car park. i did not since i was not the driver and was not the registered keeper either

    3. the parking company is euro parking services
    If you have proof from DVLA then tell them to f off😄
