URGENT Advise Required Please

i am new to this thread and was advised to post a thread

Received a parking fine from UKPC for overstaying over the 3 hours free permitted time limit and now after 2 years i have a letter from SCS Law demanding the fine.

Please not: the keepr did not receive any correspondence until this letter received from SCS as wasn't aware the driver overstayed and got this now..so not have not appealed or anything like that as no opprtunity was given to me

They have given me 30 days to reply otherwise they will issue court proceedings and i have only a few days left so the keeper can reply back either to pay fine, dispute or pay part

what do i do ? on what grounds can i dispute this if i can??

Any help and advice would be grateful..so i can send this letter before the deadline and gives me breathing space

    First thing is to read carefully the Newbies thread.

    Why have you waited until the last moment to do this.

    You DO NOT HAVE A FINE, you had an invoice from one
    the UK's most prolific scammers ?

    What did SCS send you with their 30 day threat ????

    i dont kniow whether i owe the debt
    i dispute the debt

    these are my options to tick and return which i need to do asap..letter is dated 5th Feb and i have 30 days to respond which i need to do by today or latest tomorrow for them to receive for monday special delivery

    i have had a read through newbies thread but my head is spinning and cant really grasp what to write in reply..once i send this then they have 30 days to reply which will give me more time draft defense

    i was reading the other thread posted Cheadle Hulme Asda car park..same place i got the invoice from and he has drafted a very strong letter so was wondering if i do the same or just reply back for now but what to tick

    You deny the debt, of course.

    What happened when you complained to the manager/CEO of ASDA?

    Asda said they do not own the car park and nothing to do with them

    Loads. Poor signage, lack of landowner authority, failure to adhere to POFA and others.

    Read the section on court claims here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4816822 it is in post 2. There is a section on dealing with letters before claims in it.
