    Hi All,

    I've now received a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal along with a Final Notice of Intended Legal Action.

    Is there any action that I should take considering this letter. I recall seeing something about sending them a email warning them that I will contest this is court and that I will not fall for these bullying tatics. Is this still revelant and if so is there a standard reply/template to use to respond to this.

    Thanks

    Its definitely one option, but its your choice to make ( the BEST option is a landowner cancellation. )

    These days the ignore option can lead to a court claim, so be aware of it and plan accordingly

    Thanks for the reply, so is there a standard template to issue in this scenario?

    Its in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum, have you studied that thread. ?

    Edit

    But if you meant a landowner complaint, study the Successful Complaints group thread for inspiration

    Landowner 'complaint template' - that's a very silly idea - so no. Think about how ineffective that would be!

    But if you want access to hundreds of successful complaints to retail parks examples - yes - as you saw already when you read about 'Plan A' NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST.

    Hi I've read through the newbies section and it seems to suggest this template.

    Dear Sirs,

    Your ref: [insert reference number]

    Proposed legal proceedings

    Claimant: [insert name of parking company]

    I refer to your letter of claim.

    I confirm that my address for service for the time being is as follows, and any older address must be erased from your records:

    [Insert correct address here]

    You should revert to your client because the 'propensity to pay' score in my case is zero, so any claim is hopeless and a waste of the court fee (whether 'fronted' by your firm or not). Move on to weaker victims.

    The alleged 'debt' is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.

    Yours faithfully,

    So go for this one?

    Yes of course that's the LBC response (we didn't need to check that) but more importantly, we thought you were going to send a site landowner (property company that runs the place) complaint to try to kill it?

    Sorry, Correct its the Letter before Claim.

    I did Ring Tesco's customer services some time ago, which never helped. They just refered me back to Horizon Parking. I dont know I spend hundreds of poounds a month at Tescos on groceries and Fuel and this is how they treat their customers.

    I don't know I spend hundreds of pounds a month at Tescos on groceries and Fuel and this is how they treat their ex-customers.

    See above; have you told them you will be an ex-customer if they don't sort it for you. No one should expect a surcharge of £100 (£170) just for shopping.
