Received first letter of claim…?
Hello, This is the third letter I’ve had for this ‘offence’ which I cannot recall 3 years ago. Not sure why this has taken over a week to be delivered. This letter says it’s a letter of claim but also states that I should ‘deal with this as a matter of urgency to avoid a claim being made’…. Which one is it!?
