"sorry not sure but certainly just a few days after receiving letters, and immediately responding, so I think would be March, April 2007, unfortunately I deleted all this correspondence a couple of years ago, as I thought this was the end of it all

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

It's Statute barred then. Either write to them and tell them it's both disputed and statute barred or ignore everything bar court papers.

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

Well, as long as they always disputed it and never admitted or acknowledged the charge or claim as valid, then dates of letter ping pong after the alleged (and disputed) cause of action would be irrelevant. It would still be statute barred anyway, as it would never have been acknowledged.

I note that this company is trying it on in similar cases (and even same car park) reported on MSE and pepipoo.

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

Hi, I'm new to site so apologies if I should be creating separate post but this is very similar to my situation..

I also received a letter on 13/09/14 from Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dated 10th Sept 2014, final reminder before court action this is in relation to car parking at a Co-op car park in Scotland in 2008, My vehicle was not in the car park for the duration of time that is stated on the original notice (which was sent a number of months after the alleged incident) I responded to CEL at that time disputing the claim. I received no response however approximately 8 - 9 weeks later I received the first in a series of letters from NEwlyn whom CEL had instructed to recover the alleged 'debt', I contacted NEwlyn who passed my letter to CEL 'to consider', CEL responded in April 2009 stating that they were 'unable to cancel the Enforcement notice, I received no further correspondence. The letter from Debt enforcement and Action Ltd states that the Debt amount is £170 and that they intend to lodge a claim at Northampton County Court on 24/09/14, however they have also stated that the are prepared to accept £130 if payment is made by 22/09/14.

I would really appreciate some guidance as to the best approach to deal with this as quickly as possible, I am not liable for the alleged debt I will continue to dispute it and have no intention of paying a fine for an incident that did not take place.

What a bunch of morons.

Dear Sirs,

I do not acknowledge any debt to your company or CEL limited. I note the date of the alleged incident and note that in any event had their have been a debt, which i deny entirely, it would now have prescribed in Scots law. I further note your threat to lodge a claim in Northampton County Court and would advise that this is in no way appropriate for a person who resides in Scotland. Your attention is drawn to the CIVIL JURISDICTION & JUDGMENTS ACT 1982.

Further to the above, i will consider any further threats as harassment. See Roberts v Bank of Scotland Plc (Rev 1) [2013] EWCA Civ 882 (11 June 2013) and in particular see

Para 37 The existence of a debt, however, does not give the creditor the right to bombard the debtor with endless and repeated telephone calls. The debtor is fully entitled to say that he or she does not wish to talk to the creditor. In those circumstances, the creditor is thrown back upon his formal legal remedies. That is what the courts are there to provide. They are there to ensure that creditors do not resort to the remedy of self help.

Once again there is no debt so please refrain from harassing me.

Yours etc

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

Hi,

Just out of interest, can you tell me (even although my vehicle was not in the carpark as caimed by CEL) given that CEL claim that the alleged incident ocurred specifically in Scotland, would this be is this subject to Scottish Law where I understand that the Debt is Extinguishsed after 5 years of non-contact or English Law, where I understand that the Debt is Limited after 6 years of non-contact i.e. the Limitation

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

Thank You, sorry got distracted when typing last query - which you have kindly answered - I'll respond as suggested and I must admit that I do feel that this is harassment.

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

I no longer have copies of these letters as it is so long ago, but I know I responded as soon as I got the various letters, so I think it would be around Feb/march 2007

Re: Debt enforcement and Action Ltd dispute

Hi everyone I'm one panicking wife,today I received a letter dated 15/9/14 from DEAL saying final reminder before court.Apparently CELs APNR camera caught us on an overstay of 13 minutes on a co op car park My husband owns the car but many family members drive it. We thought it was a scam so I googled and here I am.It states that it happened on 22/3/2012 we can not say in all honesty who was driving my husband has mental health issues so family drive him around.In our attempt to be greener we get no post and do almost everything via email so it's possible we have been contacted but just thought it was junk mail.Any advice would be most helpful we have received a cover letter and copy's of court forms but no numbers or seal just a parking reference number. Thankyou
