       The advice has not changed.
       Some questions are asked in my previous posts... can you please
       answer them.

       Thanks for all the advice.
       They were contacted to see if a new pin/invoice had been sent
       out to the driver and they stated they were not intending to
       press the fine, just wanted an apology and a promise to not park
       there again.
       So just general bullying and intention to cause stress with no
       intenti9n of follow-through!
       Thanks for all the advice and support.

       What a waste of everyone's time. I would suggest you turn their
       own tactic against them and put them on the defensive. A formal
       letter demanding an apology (with the explicit threat of an SRA
       complaint if they fail to respond) forces them to either:
       [indent]• Backtrack and apologise (which is a win), or
       • Ignore it, which justifies escalating to the SRA[/indent]
       Send them the following letter by simply copying it and pasting
       it into their webform with your personal contact details for
       their Filey office here:
  HTML https://www.thorpeandco.com/index.php/contact-us/
       You only need to copy and paste the letter as is and add the
       date, below.

       alleged parking contravention at your premises.

       > Your letter misleadingly claimed that I was liable for a £200
       charge, threatened legal action, and sought to intimidate me
       into compliance. However, when contacted directly, your firm
       admitted that no such legal action was ever intended and that
       your only objective was to obtain an apology and a promise not
       to park there again.

       > Your actions constitute an abuse of your legal position and a
       clear attempt to intimidate an individual with knowingly
       baseless legal threats. As a regulated firm, you are bound by
       the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Code of Conduct, which
       prohibits:
       >

       (Rule 8.9)
       > - Failing to act with integrity (Principle 2)
       > - Engaging in conduct likely to diminish public trust in the
       profession (Principle 4)
       >
       > The fact that you never intended to pursue a claim but
       knowingly sent a misleading letter designed to cause distress
       raises serious ethical concerns.

       of the date of this message. If no apology is forthcoming, I
       will have no hesitation in submitting a formal complaint to the
       Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) regarding your conduct.
