Gladstones + Premiere Parking Enforcement Ltd

I am at the stage where I have received a LBC from Gladstone Solicitors.

I believe it's the standard letter giving you 2 options of paying the £170 debt or disputing it. I need to take action within 30 days (deadline 11th June 2025).

I would like to dispute it. Should I follow the instructions on the letter and go to www.gladstonessolicitors.co.uk ? The letter doesn't say what you need to do when you land on their website. I'm guessing you need to create an account on it first before submitting a dispute.

Some background: 

* I have not named the driver

* My original appeal stated that the driver parked at the location and went to ask a business if  parking was permitted there. The car was then moved elsewhere once directed to a parking space by the business the driver was visiting. This was done in less than 10 minutes. They have 2 photographs of the vehicle at 18:00 and 18:05. They were not able to supply me with any other photograph showing the vehicle was moved at around 18:08. I argued a grace period and got nowhere in the appeals process.

It's been so long since the original PCN was issued (early Feb 2025), that I can't recall fully what I wrote in the appeal. I tried logging back into the appeals portal https://ppeappeals.atriahub.co.uk/ to get a copy of my appeal but it's not longer available to view. It just says the case "This PCN has been transferred to our Debt Recovery Agent". 

Should I request this information from Gladstones first before responding with a dispute?

Any advice appreciated.

"* My original appeal stated that I parked at the location and went to ask a business if I could park there."

Just checking  -  the above statements seem to be contradictory?

Thanks @1505grandad - edited original post.

Just follow the process in the NEWBIE stick second post after receiving a letter before/of claim.

Is it best to send the letter to Gladstones promptly or wait until near day 30?

Depends if you want to delay the case or not.
