    You can ask for them to provide that within your witness statement. 

    ie. in your paragraph about the machine you can finish with something like "If the Claimant disagrees with my assertions they should provide a full, unredacted log of that day's transactions in chronological order."

    (they've been known to provide logs in alphabetical or VRM order to hide gaps, so demand it is chronological)

    I'm confused. That wasn't the OP.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Just made a start on witness statement and I'm wondering, is it too late to request they provide evidence of the transactions at the pay machine on the day in question?  Given that the machine was broken i thought it might help. If its worthwhile, should I request it from the parking company or the solicitors?

    Small update: I received multiple of the DRP letters over the course of the year, all of which I ignored. Those stopped in June and I haven’t heard anything since. Is there anything else to expect now?

    After the debt collectors letters stop, within the 6 year window the following could happen 

    A Letter of Claim giving you 30 days notice to respond,  typically from a bulk litigation company like DCB Legal,  Moorside Legal,  B W Legal or Gladstones 

    Followed by 

    An N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post in the name of the defendant,  a Money Claim

    Anecdotally, have there been other cases of people going long periods of time inbetween contact then randomly receiving LBCs?

    Yes, tens of thousands,  or probably a lot more 

    There are 676 in the following thread alone, that is only about one bulk litigator, DCB LEGAL 

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6377263/dcb-legal-record-of-private-parking-court-claim-discontinuations/p1

    So thousands on here involving various companies,  be it in house claims like CEL or Parking Eye or SIP for example, or via bulk litigation companies on behalf of nearly 200 private parking companies 

    The Limitations Act 1980, puts your deadline in another 5 years,  2030, so keep your paperwork and evidence safe

    All the time. It's normal, so keep your address updated if you move because you cannot risk missing the real letters.

    You've run the gamut of the DR Plus letters so - after a lull - your data will later be passed to another bunch of greedy chancers, lining up to have a go at you and see if their red threatograms work.
