London Parking Solutions, Solicitors letter.

[locksmith1]

The people on this site are so helpful.

 

a friend of mine (builder) was told by the porter of a bloc of flats he could unload in a parking space in order to do a job there.

 

he then got a demand for a fine through the post from London Parking Solutions.

 

This was a year ago, and

 

several emails have been sent back and forth between the two.

 

London Parking Solutions did not respond to his last email, and

 

now he has received a demand for £240 from Gladstones Solicitors.

 

The fine is imposed for an area that he was not even parked on,

 

but London Parking Solutions are saying that is irrelevant since they cover the part he was parked on anyway.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as it seems very slippery to me.

More information needed...

Was it a windscreen ticket first? A year ago or before October 2012? What was said in the emails? Has the driver been identified? Someone in the flats hired him and has a parking space? For starters..

Read the forum generally on the correct response to these things.

 

Write to them and tell them that you do not acknowledge any debt to them - but that you would be interested to receive full details of any losses which they have incurred and which they say have been caused by you. Tell them also that you want evidence that they have some interest in the land which would entitle them to become a party to proceedings.

Tell them that you have no intention of paying anything without at least this information and that you would be happy to see them in court and to ask the judge to oblige them to produce this information - if they will not do so voluntarily.

How the hell do they arrive at £240?

[ericsbrother]

To start with it is not a fine, it is a demand that has very little substance on a good day and if the parking co cannot chase the owner of the vehicle, just the driver if it predates nov 2012 and no-one will remember who was driving the lorry that far back ago will they? could have been anyone. Might not even be employed by the company still and no forwarding address.

Get him to stop corresponding and make them do the running. they tghink there is a chance of getting money at the moment, remove this expectaion by ignoring anything other than a properly stamped court summons and that will be easy to defend from that long ago.
