For heavens sake @Dolly, you need to actually read and understand the advice being given. No one has said just respond an LoC when you receive one with some old rubbish you previously sent someone.

As above, show us what was received so that we can get an understanding of which party we are dealing with. You DO NOT respond to an LoC with any old rubbish. You can guarantee that an N1SDT Claim Form is going to follow an LoC and you will need to know how to respond to that correctly.

These operators and their powerless debt recovery companies rely on you being low hanging fruit on the gullible tree that will either eventually pay up or make a mistake out of ignorance and fear.

Rather than us having to assume, please show us what you have actually received.

I have received notification of legal proceedings from CPS enforcer regards A CSE THAT HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO.
I presume this isn't an actual claim form?  I presume just a debt collector letter?  If it's an actual 'Letter Before Claim' under PAP then a response is possibly needed.

I thought I had put this to rest with the original enforcer. They have refused to accept that I had a right to park there: being a user of the facilities, members of the church because of its link with the school and my child was attending a class at the time. They do not have visuals of the alleged breach. I have a letter from the church stating that their action is not the intention of the parking rules. The disability badge was displayed. There is no cost to parking.
I presume there are some terms they state had to be complied with?  Such as entering a registration in a terminal etc.  Devil is in the detail as parking companies do not like giving up on charges...

Question is, do I need to respond to something so old and it is not the original parking enforcer. It just seems like as a stealth tax being passed around to see who can get me to pay
Alas, as noted above it's not 'old' enough.  But assuming it is only a 'debt collection' letter and not actually a court claim or LBA then it can be ignored.  (But that's not to say a court claim won't follow)

They have up to six years to commence action for breach of contract, but if you want more help please see https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/ and in particular please post copies of relevant documents here.

Hello

Need some advice


I have received notification of legal proceedings from CPS enforcer regards A CSE THAT HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO.

I thought I had put this to rest with the original enforcer. They have refused to accept that I had a right to park there: being a user of the facilities, members of the church because of its link with the school and my child was attending a class at the time. They do not have visuals of the alleged breach. I have a letter from the church stating that their action is not the intention of the parking rules. The disability badge was displayed. There is no cost to parking.
Question is, do I need to respond to something so old and it is not the original parking enforcer. It just seems like as a stealth tax being passed around to see who can get me to pay
