    If you had read the post in the FAQ you would know that we advise you to ignore everything you get except a lbcca or Court correspondence

    If and when it comes to that then come to the faq thread for advice on how to deal with court claims. (#2 there)

    Thank you all for your help, i have read post #4 of the NEWBIES thread and trying to digest but at 70 years of age the little grey cells do not always abosorb as much correctly. The only thing that has me upset is i cannot appeal as i have had no communication what so ever apart from the Debt Recovery letter.

    Why not follow the guidance offered by Quentin in his most recent post?

    That's all you need to do.

    It is all a scam, which the Government is in the process of shutting down. Do not be intimidated by their threats, the only way they can get a sou out of you is to take you to court and win. IMO they would struggle mightily.

    Get your MP on side, they are well familiar with this scam and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these private parking companies. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, and persistent offenders denied access. Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers.

    Until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies. .
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
