    ive read it as the OP was a visitor
    Correct, me too. I understood the OP was a visitor to their friends property and was given a PCN whilst legitimately visiting their friends. The OPs friends are also getting PCNs (possibly own space PCNs) prior to the OPs PCN and we were querying where the OPs friends were in the process to assess how likely it is the OP hears more from CPM.

    The caveat in comparing the two cases is that the OPs address will not be on the estate and therefore it is possible that PCN may be pursued more than the PCNs that are turning up RK addresses on the estate.

    Hi Guys


    So I have now received a letter from Gladstone's ... its making me aware of the options CPM now have and giving me an " opportunity" to pay them and avoid the consideration of court action and the increase of the charges.


    Any advise :) ?

    Ignore everything except court correspondence or a proper letter before court action

    Read up in the newbies FAQ thread. You are at the debt collectors stage

    Well they have said


    " our client would like to provide you with the opportunity to contact their agent to make full payment thereby avoiding the consideration of any future court action and any increase in the amount claimed"


    " please contact our client agent Debt recovery plus limited in order to discuss payment proposal or make payment online "


    So they are asking me to pay debt recovery plus limited.


    and they have listed a load of debt helplines for me to contact .

    I refer you to Quentin's advice in post #34.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    This is a Gladstones pimped out letterhead asking you to pay
    a debt collector (DRP)
    DRP are simply a time wasting set up.

    IGNORE THIS MORE REFINED DEBT COLLECTION LETTER

    Just wait and if Gladstones decide on taking you to court, you will get a Letter before Action

    If you get a LBA then come back here
    Gladstones are an incompetent solicitor who often take on cases
    they don't have a clue about, hence they get whooped in court

    be patient

    Residents have far more rights to park on their land than shoppers in a shopping centre. In many cases these right extend to their visitors and tradesmen.

    Some of these rights, "peaceful enjoyment" for example are very powerful, and override almost everything a PPC can throw at you. Read the Parking Prankster blogs and see how often PPCs lose in "own space" court cases.
