P4 Parking (CIS) - Final Notice Before Formal Legal Proceedings?

Ofir

Good morning,

looking for some assistance about a letter received today from Credit Investigation Services (CIS) looks like it’s on behalf of P4 Parking. No letter has been received a letter from P4 parking since April 2022 remembering correctly and that time it came with the header “NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ADVISE CLIENT TO ISSUE SUMMONS”. This ticket originated in Scotland in 2022 also.

They have stated on the header of this letter “FINAL NOTICE BEFORE FORMAL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS” and the letter it states unless settlement of outstanding amount is received within 14 days of the letter they will advise their clients to “instigate” mediate legal proceedings. I have seen in other threads that laws changed in 2023 regarding parking tickets in Scotland and wonder if anyone has recommendations on if this should be paid now or not?

I seen in another thread also that to email someone from BPA regarding the letters received the way these companies are chasing this. Is this still a good process to follow?

CIS and P4Parking win't sue in Scotland.  You can relax and ignore that.

Hello, thanks for clarifying for me. Just want to double check see under point number 3 they say I’ve made an appeal which they declined. I don’t have any knowledge of this but again with it being about 2 years ago from the original letter I can’t be to sure, if this has had happened would this change anything?

Not at all.

And the law has not changed yet and won't be retrospective. In Scotland, you are getting keeper liability within a year though.

@tomto76, please start your own thread. Whilst you have received advice here, it can cause confusion for other reading the thread as two different jurisdictions are involved.

All the advice you need for now is available in the Newbies/FAQ thread.

Except we don't need ANY new threads (please) about DRA letters. Please no. Thanks!  This isn't being harsh it's being helpful to all.

New posters will be grateful we are free (due to rationing our time) when and if you really need us later.

Read the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread where I beg people - please - not to start threads about these letters.

All you need to know is:

IGNORE THESE £170 THREATOGRAM LETTERS BUT NOT A (£260-odd) CLAIM FORM.
