BurgerHater, I would tell the police about their harassment as they should take your complaint seriously, that would most definately stop them in their tracks - maybe they would try to charge the police for contacting them too! MalMonroe, I completely agree with you; a bailiff would be illegal if not sent out by court. I have just read Bernie's very helpful information on how he would correspond with a parking company and intend on taking similar actions myself. However, my situation is slightly different because the DVLA have issued the parking company with my maiden name, even though they have my married name on their records (yes I have double checked my driving licence)! Naughty, naughty DVLA for providing my personal data inaccurately (Data Protection Act) ! But could this work in my favour? Assuming there is the slightest chance this charge could get to court (???), I was under the impression that the claimant must correctly name the defendant or the claim will be thrown out. Is my maiden name no longer legal which identifying me? Interesting stuff. Also, I am concerned that in complaining to the DVLA about anything, they will seek to correct this information with the parking company, who will reissue the notice with my married name. Although, does it really matter? Anyway, to get back to my main question, if I am to avoid providing the parking company with any further information, which of the following would be the best course of action: a) deny anyone of that name lives at this address, return to sender b) reply using one of the standard responses, signing all correspondence in my maiden name c) as above, but sign in my married name (using an obscure signature which they cannot read and so cannot identify my true name)
