CPM, DRP and now Gladstones

Have been following your newbies Guidelines  for fighting Parking companies etc ,
I did beat Parking eye  3 years ago for a ticket in a Halfords ,  and Brighton Council for an unclear bus lane  ticket  so im not a pushover .

But I would like a bit of feedback as to wether I am  doing the correct thing .


Im  fighting with Glastones  letter of claim  etc   but when they send letters of reply to my Queries  and request that the conform to PAP guidelines , they are not  acknowledging receipt of my delivered registered mail by Royal mail , nor are they  giving me  information also they are giving out different reference numbers  on their generic letters ..

I am recording all these infractions of PAP ,, as the original alleged  parking  claim against me  by CPM  is  false  as I had a valid  visible Parking permit and my own paid for space  in my old address  and the managing agent confirmed this to  CPM this 2 years ago.  CPM have gone rogue , have bombarded me with threats from Debt recovery Plus  over 20 letters ,texts , and now Gladstones.

I wont go into  all the detail ,But  basically   CPM  are chasing me for 4 tickets for legally parking in my own  registered  parkin space ,  but on letter of claim only 1 is listed ,, Gladstone  are sending  letters to me with  wrong reference numbers  so far I have 3 different ones ?????  

i will be reporting  Gladstones to the Solicitors  disciplinary organisation ..

CPM do not reply to registered letters , Gladstone  do not either .. I have proof all my letters  were signed for by their staff ,,,
im happy to go to court, if I have to

    Like many other posters will state on this forum. Stop wasting money sending signed-for letters. Send an email ( usually you will get an auto-reply from them which you can use as confirmation of receipt)

    I can clearly see that Gladstone,s  are clearly  not adhering to PAP  , they are not giving any relevant information  which is part of the PAP.
    They are obfuscating  and trying to confuse  me  with threatening words and no facts which again is in breach of PAP protocol..

    This parking issue seems more complex than those I fought before as CPM are belligerent   as are their agents so I may need advice on this one .I was very ill most of last year and  unable to deal with  this problem for long periods in hospital i also moved address  which even though i had Mail forwarding   seems to have let some correspondence go astray .  but im a fighter  and dont like injustice or bully's

    I did beat parking eye 2 years ago for an supposed violation in a Halfords car park , and also Brighton Council in 2017 for a Ticket for supposedly violating a Bus lane    which I also won  as bus lane was across entrance to a local park  and bowling club  so anyone entering the park  was getting ticketed  for crossing the bus lane . i wonder how many people paid up  instead of fighting back?

    You don't even have to receive an email "receipt". The header in the email in your sent box contains enough inform to prove delivery.

    Aaargh. Two addresses in play is bad. You need to send Gladstones the recommended LBC response in the NEWBIES thread which tells them to ERASE any old address.

    I have informed all relevant parties of change of address in writing ,, gladstones  acknowledged,, but CPM  have not acknowledged ..
    CPM actually demanded  to see my medical records last which i refused . I am also hearing  they are also harassing  other people with parking permits in my old Address .
  • UPDATE  

    Gladstone have finally replied  to my last letter ,, They have amalgamated 3 tickets  into 1 claim for the same problem  none are valid  as I had a Valid permit  for my parking space ,, what happened to 4 th CPM ticket ???  

    well...a new company apparently Debt collectors Phillips  and Cohen  are bombarding me  with phone calls about this 4th ticket  ,, is this a new tactic ,,, why is it not part of the claim and PAP??  are Phillips and Cohen linked to Gladstones ???

    I have noticed a flaw in their arguments and mentioned by Gladstones  in their own words, in  the recent letter to me  that apparently by CPMs own  admission   and despite signage  i am Ok to park  without displaying a permit , as I have a CPM permit .
    So in their own word   the whole case against me should be forfeit  !!!   amazing .

    The fact that my permit fell off the windscreen due to its adhesive  failing and that I was in hospital and can prove it  does not seem relevant to CPM or Gladstones  nor the fact that I was not the person who parked the car , as I was in hospital a friend moved it back to my flat after ambulance took me to hospital.  CPM actually had to issue a new permit  2 months later as  original was so damaged .

    I am still happy to make them take me to court  over this whole matter, my evidence is strong and I have also documented all the breaches of protocols and rules , by Gladstones, CPM, DPRL etc

    I will be preparing my reply letter to Gladstones over next few days  , has anyone any comments or advice,,I should include .

    So, as long as the old address is already erased then you can say whatever you like to Gladstones but don't bust a gut. Save that for the defence because they will issue a claim.

    a new company apparently Debt collectors Phillips  and Cohen  are bombarding me  with phone calls about this 4th ticket 
    Never ever heard of them.

    Are you sure their calls are about UKCPM?

    I am not so sure but if so, take their call, wind them up, have some fun - act naive - and record the call to share the recording with us.  Let them lie to you about the legal position & record it.

    Certainly not Their usual activity:

  • Thanks guys ,  still wondering what happened to the 4th ticket ????  strange ,,  and just spoke with my Brother and he thinks the Phillips and Cohen may be about an Affect Energy bill from my  fathers estate??   ,, if so Its nothing to do with me as that was settled 2 years ago

    With Gladstone its already well into the PAP part of claim , but they letters going back and fourth  now letter 4 ,, they are stonewalling   for sure , but The admission by them that the CPM permit only has to be issued to me to be valid is a big mistake ..
  • I will mention in my latest reply to Gladstones  and quote what CPM and Gladstone wrote in the letter about Permit  being valid even if  not displayed   despite any signage ,, I will like to see how they wriggle out of that in front of judge .

    surely they will fold  before court now
