Parking Fine - no reply to letter (parking eye)

[watwy]

Hello there,

I am new to this forum.

I posted the appeal letter from www.parkingcowboys.co.uk to Parking Eye, when I got the first parking notice. I have not hear anything from them until today, "letter before county court claim" (this letter was sent by first class, I know very bad mistake)

On the letter it state they have 'sent me two other letters' which I have only received one (the first one).

What do I do now?

Background;

Parking date: 03 November 2013
Parked in: Ilford Retail Park

Can you post up the letter minus personal details ?

Is the registered keeper the driver ?

I note that it was sent from the "Parking Eye Legal Department".

Does that imply that all their other departments are somehow illegal?

Naughty naughty parking eye. They are claiming their LBA's are fully compliant in court documents and yours is nothing close to compliant !

Anyhow, as with all letters before action, a robust response is required. The reference to the "fully compliant" comment can be found here .

I suggest something like

Dear Ms Ledson,

I received your letter headed xxxxx on xxxx the contents of which are noted. It would appear that this is a letter before action although it is not compliant with the pre action protocols. Having seen a reply to defence you have sent another victim in which you claim to be "fully compliant" I am quite shocked. I can honestly say I thought a paid professional would know and respect the rules of their profession.

The pre action protocols dictate that in a letter before action the claimant should set out the details of the matter in writing and a clear summary of the facts on which the claim is based.

The claimant should also list the essential documents on which the claimant intends to rely and i would like copies of these please, set out the form of ADR (if any) that the claimant considers the most suitable and invite the defendant to agree to this and refer the defendant to the Practice Direction and in particular draw attention to paragraph 4 concerning the court's powers to impose sanctions for failure to comply with the Practice Direction.

If financial loss is claimed, an explanation of how the amount has been calculated.

Please take this response as an acknowledgement of your LBA to which a full response will be provided within 14 days of rectification of the flaws in your letter. I am taking advice from persons with experience in legal matters however that advice is limited until compliance with the above faults is achieved.

Yours etc

M1

One might have noticed that the private parking parasites are using the same argument of volenti - free choice - that the clamping cowboys formerly used.
