Hi, I've been receiving numerous letters as  below. I cannot find the landowners details to make a complaint.

Debt collectors letter , ignore 

Keep trying to obtain landowner or managing agent details in order to complain, plan A 

Eventually DCB Legal are likely to post an LoC to you, and LBC in old money 

The newbies sticky thread in announcements is where you go for advice on all of this daga

What have you tried so far? One of our regulars @Umkomaas regularly posts advice on finding landowner details.

Et, voilà:

SOME IDEAS FOR DETERMINING WHO OWNS THE LAND 

1. Google searches

2. If a retail park, check on any signage which lists the on-site outlets

3. Ask retailers on the site if there is a managing agent

4. Ask retailers on the site to whom do they pay rent

5. Contact the local authority and ask who pays the non-domestic/business rate for the car park (some councils have a spreadsheet on their website)

6. Contact the local Valuation Office and ask if they know. They often have a website which might provide the information 

7. Contact The Land Registry and for around £3 they should be able to provide definitive detail

8. If you haven't already done so, give us the name of the car park/site/location, we may have seen other cases there.

Good morning all,

Thank you for all your valued advice until now. This could have been avoided if I hadn't cocked up with 28 days time frame during popla appeal. 

Now I've managed to receive letter before claim from Galdstones.

I'd be surprised if 'Regent Parking' ever actually litigate as i believe from info I read ages ago on their website, that they aren't a parking company but just an umbrella name. SolutionLabs isn't a parking firm and is run by 'debt collectors' who used to be in disgraced & defunct Roxburghe.

They supply signs with the seemingly made up 'Regent' name and do the DVLA look-up for small companies.  That's it.

In my view, they aren't "the creditor" and have no cause of action because they are just the back office processor and a name for the real (small) PPC to hide behind.

I would say the above to Gladstones and ask who the actual parking firm was, at this site: who is the 'creditor' in this case?

Thanks. Do I need to send them a postal letter as I couldn't find their email add? Or could I use their generic email from their website:  enquiries@gladstonessolicitors.co.uk?

@OP -  can you confirm that the original ppc re this thread is PPS (London) Ltd?

This is what i got from the mp: 
Unfortunately though it appears that you parked on private land that was displaying signs saying “no parking, waiting, or loading at any time”. The parking company does acknowledge that a grace period should be allowed on private land in order to give drivers time to read the signs and return to their car. However in your appeal you have admitted that you had in fact left the vehicle in order to collect and load an item into your car, and therefore for this type of activity they do not need to give you a grace period.

On this basis it appears the PCN was correctly issued, however if you don’t agree with this, or want another opinion, you do have the option of escalating the matter to POPLA (https://www.popla.co.uk/https://www.popla.co.uk/) who will independently ascertain whether the PCN is valid or not.

I am sorry that this is not the response nor outcome that you were hoping for.

Useless MP.

They've just repeated what the PPC told them. 

Some MPs think they're not there to represent you: mine sent a "not my problem" reply to an issue of mine a while back, so come the recent election I decided to vote tactically against him on the basis that I couldn't vote for him as my representative if he'd declined to represent me; it gave me some satisfaction that he lost his seat.
