    Mass litigators like Gladstone's/DCB (for parking firms )don't use bailiffs for enforcement nor do they use things like attachment of earnings orders, third party debt orders (garshee orders) /oral questioning etc (order to obtain information)

    Now debts for over £600 are more likely to see  High Court Writ (HCEO) because its a relatively cheap process and the results are better as a terms of % recovered  It isn't financially worth it for the single ticket cases to "enforce"

    Now for small businesses/individuals  they are much likely to try and enforce via the way of a county court bailiff 

    the letter you have got is just there to scare you as it simply isn't the business model of parking firms to act as the way they are claiming so it can be safely ignored. (as the rate of return for "claimed actions" is not worth it for the cost involved

    Even for larger debts where a High Court Writ has failed to work they wont then go down the route of attachment for earnings or such like.
    Thank you Grizebeck for reassuring me. Thanks for sharing this information with us. I will keep this thread open as I expect they will send more letters threating until they realise I will not pay them a penny. 

    Thanks
