  • Letter before claim - debt collector attempt?

    Hi all,


    Today I have received a letter before claim from csb solicitor as it said that I must pay £640 or they take me to court if I do not pay within 14 days.


    Here is the letter:







    Is the letter that I have received is come from a debt collector?


    It looks like to me it is from a debt collector, because of the csb solicitor logo that I have had few letters from them before, there is no name of the solicitor who is acting behalf of the private parking company, I have no contract with them to sign on the form for credit agreement and I can see the bank sort code and account number at the back of the page, but I am not 100% sure if the letter is come from a debt collector or a real solicitor.


    If it is from a debt collector, should I ignore it?


    If it is from a real solicitor, what I should response?


    Thanks in advance

        Not in my opinion.


        I would reply something like

        Dear CSB Solicitors,

        I write in response to your letter before claim dated 6th April 2017, the contents of which are noted.

        As the pre action protocols expect us to exchange sufficient information to understand each others position please forward to myself the original parking charge notice and a picture of the signs at the location as well as the operators contract which allows them to operate at the site (or indeed confirmation they own the land in question).

        As well as the information already requested please answer the following questions :-

        What type of car park is it ?

        What contravention gives a cause of action ?

        Who contravened your rules ?

        In what capacity are you pusuing me ?

        Have you followed the rules laid down in the Protection of freedoms act 2012 schedule 4 ?

        How is the £640 made up ?

        Not only will this information help comply with the pre action protocols it will also help achieve the over riding objective.

        Having done some research on your claims i request that if you ignore my requests for information that your claim complies with

        CPR 16

        Contents of the claim form
        16.2
        (1) The claim form must –
        (a) contain a concise statement of the nature of the claim

        Contents of the particulars of claim
        16.4
        (1) Particulars of claim must include –
        (a) a concise statement of the facts on which the claimant relies;

        Practice direction 16

        Other matters to be included in particulars of claim




        7.5 Where a claim is based upon an agreement by conduct, the particulars of claim must specify the conduct relied on and state by whom, when and where the acts constituting the conduct were done.





        I await your response.

        Yours sincerely
