    Most people do feel exactly that! Harassment, alarm and distress, yes:

    In my opinion this problem would be mostly solved with the creation of 3 more boards or forums. I believe we need four altogether.

    Forum nbr 1: For people who have received NTK ot NTD.
    Forum nbr 2:. For people who are receiving debt collection letters.
    Forum nbr 3: For people who have received a County Court Claim.
    Forum nbr 4: For general discussion for the experienced people on the forum to discuss tactics and to sharpen our tools.

    Forum number 2 would have a sticky at the top stating "what to do if you receive a letter from a debt collector".
    New members, please refer to "sticky" threads that are alwasys "stuck" at the top of this forum

    Good idea, but then we'd need Forum #5 for all those people who think their case is different from everyone else's, and can't find anything which exactly matches their situation.


    "Yes but my car is silver, and their paperwork says it's grey. Does this mean the ticket is invalid?"

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    Apologies - didn't realise that Small Claims Solicitors was included in the list as I have just commented on another thread regarding receiving another letter this morning from SCS.

    Basically no threads are needed about any debt collector letter! But we'll never stop everyone, all of whom think their letters are specific to them. Really they are a letter chain of computerised junk, already discussed to death for ten years on here. Debt collectors can't litigate.

    I've read a lot of the newbie links but not sure of action to take. I've been ignoring and throwing letters for months from overstaying the 2 hour parking time of a service station. Now DRP letter received - to prevent court proceedings pay up... blah blah.

    It has been suggested in these forums to ignore and not to ignore.

    So which one of the many letters suggested to be sent should I send and to who, if I don't ignore?

    I have made no appeal or any effort to contact any of these money grabbers.

    Thanks

    For the last two years the advice has been to not ignore. Check the dates on the old posts you are quoting.
