    But do Gladstones hold an old address for you? It makes no sense. They never just email a LBC.
    Yes they do have postal address, but I requested they email response (when both myself and the landowner were confirming it should be cancelled), because I don’t always get the post.

    I do prefer everything via email - I’d be worried if it came via post and I never got it, then because I couldn’t ’defend’, I’d lose maybe?

    I have attached photos below in next comment.

    I’ve attached for ref as well the 1) email they sent advising of the court proceedings and 2) the attachment within the email about court action being imminent.

    It just threw because it didn’t say ‘lbc’ on the attached doc. 

    Also attached 3) the letter they sent in post prior to the email above, in which they referred to me ignoring their ‘previous letter before claim’, - but that letter before, is what I never received (and apparently dated/sent October).


    So considering that above, and from reading the ‘how to/guide’ etc, I believe (still) the right thing to do now is, just reply with the template to gladstones which includes me not being interested in their ‘babble’, along with my reasons (which I input myself) as to why I am not accepting liability of their invoice, etc etc 

    Unless I’m totally wrong considering this!

    Our client has the option to commence Court proceedings in the appropriate Civil Court. This right exists for a period of 5 years (the limitation period) from the date of the parking charge notice. A Claim would result in an increase in the amount sought in terms of

    Are you based in Scotland?  Because the 5 year limitation period applies there - it's 6 years in England and Wales.
