I got one of these private tickets 3 months ago, and have only just recieved my first letter, and its not from the parking company, but their legal agents, who are threatning to send a Debt Collection Officer to my home.
I am sending the following reply - advice and comments needed asap please
Dear Sirs,
Re: Your letter dated longago Your Reference 123456
This alleged debt with your client is in dispute, as they have failed to provide any evidence of any claim.
Your client has possibly neglected to inform yourselves that he has not initiated any correspondence with my self to this date, and has therefore not substantiated any claim against myself.
In the circumstances please refer this matter back to your client with the points below.
You client has not substantiated any claim
This alleged debt with your client is in dispute
I currently hold proof that any claim is invalid
In my opinion, your letter stating my file will be passed to your “Debt Collection Officer who will attend your premises to seek full settlement” is considered as a direct threat of demanding monies with menace’s and will not be tolerated, and any such visit will be reported directly to the local authorities.
Any further correspondence from you in relation to this matter will result in a complaint to the authorities under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Yours faithfully
