Gladstone_Solicitors - 'COURT PROCEEDINGS ARE IMMINENT' letter, sent to old address

ShayIb

Good morning,  
I have been privy to a letter sent to an old address I lived in over a year ago by Gladstones solicitors over a parking ticket dated 27/01/2024 of which honestly cannot remember.

How do I tackle this issue as I recently got a ccj about a month ago from the same address which i had to pay off to avoid consequences. Please I am a single mum of 2 currently out of work but actively  seeking work. This has impacted significantly on my finances and if I get another ccj, it would worsen the situation.

I have gone through almost all the threads on this site regarding this, but confused as to what steps to take. Should I take the data breach route, or LBC route? please note that there is also a letter before claim. Also my address with DVLA is uptodate with my new residence so I believe this is intentional to give a ccj. Please any help will do. thanks. Shay

First of all you need to check the address on your V5 to make sure this is up to date.

Then email gladstones and horizon telling them that your current address is your only address for service and to ERASE all other address data.

Do you know where and when the PCN was incurred? If so complain to the landowner / shop etc.

You will NOT get a CCJ unless you:

1. Go to court 
2. Lose at court ( or by default ) if the addresses are not changed
3. You then fail to pay if you do lose.

If you follow the steps in the newbees thread the chances are you may not even get to step 1.

I managed to put some wordings together gleaning from past post/threads similar to mine. Would this suffice? I would be sending to both Horizon Parking and Gladstones.

Dear Gladstone Solicitors,

I confirm that my address for service at this time is as follows, and I request that any outdated address and its data be erased from your records to ensure compliance with data protection obligations:

oxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com

I strongly advise your client to cease and desist. Should this matter proceed to court, you can be assured that these issues will be brought to the court’s attention, alongside a robust defence and potentially a counterclaim for unreasonable conduct.

Yours faithfully,

oxxxx

That letter from Gladstones is not LOC as it gives you 14 days notice. The LOC gives you 30 days notice so wait for that to arrive then respond with the template in NEWBIES 2nd post Small Claim.

It's your home address change you need to be telling them about. Court documents will be posted and you dont want them sent to your old address again. See NEWBIES 4th post Debt Recovery Stage changed address? Email something like this to Gladstones and Horizon DPO:

Put your email subject as - Data Rectification Notice 

Dear Data Protection Officer 

Horizon PCN Ref No: XXXXXXX

I instruct you update your records with my correct address for service as detailed below and ERASE all other address data that you hold for me, and inform any and all of your agents and sub-contractors to do the same.

My Correct Address for service is  XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX  

My Previous Address was XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX

I have attached  *xxx  as evidence of my current address.

Please confirm this has been actioned.

Yours faithfully 

*attach copy of V5C (top part only) or a redacted bill etc something showing your name and current address on it.
