    Hi, nearly two years after my last post I have received a letter before claim from Oak Legal Services. I am going to respond to the letter using tools on the MSE website, but does anyone have expereince of dealing with this particular firm? My reason for not paying the fine is I have never been provided with a PCN, and requests for a copy to be sent have been ignored, Appeal to IPC was rejected, but I've still no evidence of a parking offence having been committed. Is this likely to stand up in a small claims court though??

    Oak legal is a recent addition to ZZPS, so plenty of these LBC letters at the moment

    Definitely not a fine, just an invoice

    We currently have no experience of what Oak will do in a court claim, but will assist you through the process

    Dont assume that court claims result in a paid for hearing, many don't, its not an inevitable conclusion

    "….but I've still no evidence of a parking offence having been committed."

    They won't supply you with evidence that an "offence" was committed as there wasn't!
