..worried ...about a potential court claim/ ccj being issued i wouldn't be aware of:

I had two Letter before actions for two different pcns sent through from gladstones in 2022 which at the time i ignored. This was shortly followed by a claim form from the court which made me panic at the time and i paid.

So one was paid and dealt with which with hindsight i should have fought.

The second LBA letter i responded to on the Gladstones portal after the first one resulted in a claim along the lines of ' this is a sham i will defend this in court' but cant remember.

My concern now is and having read the forum at some point will a claim be sent to my old address? (which i moved out Autumn 2022).I had royal mail redirect for 6 months after moving and no new documents came through.
 I recently logged onto the gladstones portal out of curiosity (last time was almost 3 years ago) when i remembered and it stills says 'pre action'. The problem is i also have no idea who the parking operator is or where the alleged contravention happened although i have a good idea. The vehicle in question was also sold towards the end of 2020 so the alleged contarvention must be 2019 -2020. 

Will logging on to their system notify or reactivate?

UPDATE 2nd April 2025

So I logged back onto the gladstones portal today. The case has gone from 'pre-action' which its been for a long time to 'post litigation' today which has happened in the last 4 days.
Not sure if my logging on after all this time activated it. 

I have emailed the enquiry email address asking about the change and giving my new address along with the DPO email asking for all old addresses and car reg to be deleted and removed from record. Also updated address on the portal. 

I also saw my reply to the LBA so reminded me of which occasion it was and it really was a nonsense ticket that was issued i pulled over for about 20 seconds while waiting for a car to pull out.

Still don't know who the PPC is but they should reply with this info. A grainy cctv camera on the side of the shop was used for the image. 

I think a claim is imminent, despite the above detail (pulling over for 20 seconds whilst waiting for a car to pull out) showing that they'd have no chance at a hearing ...as long as you defend.

Trouble is, I'd be worried it might go to your old address. You will have to contact them again to be sure.

Thank you @Coupon-mad

I spoke with gladstones today and they told me the 'event' was December 2019 and the PPC was UKCPM. I am now certain it was the incident where I simply drove in and out of the car park (which is free for 90 mins) had to pull to one side due to congestion then left without exiting car or turning engine off. May have been in there for maximum 2 minutes but cant remember. 

They also said to expect a claim. I asked if they are sure they have my up to date Address now as have updated online system, sent emails both to enquiries and DPO email addresses. 

Do i need to do any further action now or just wait for the claim?
