I have ANOTHER final notice! How many can I actually get from the same debt?

Hi all!

I'm just hoping someone can clear this up for me?

I have this debt (don't we all) and it has been outstanding for the last 4 yrs (defaulted 4yrs ago).

In these last four years, I have recieved quite a few 'Final Notices'. The latest one was today actually!

I'm not paying it...I don't have any money too. This is basically the only outstanding debt I have now.

Anyway, everytime I have ignored them and never had any response, never had anybody call out to my home and haven't been brought to court about it. So should I just ignore it?? Like I said I haven't the money to pay, I'm unemployed now(redundunt) and have three kids. Or should I just ignore it until they actually bring me to court and then offer them a token payment then. Once any court sees my situation, I know it will fall in my favour. So I'm not especially worried.

I'm thinking, that they are just sending these letters because they have to. Its been through like 3 or 4 debt collector companies now and they all threaten me with Court proceedings..but never actually have.
BTW. The debt is for about £250.

  • As many as they want, have had 100's with no action ever taken. Some people get one or two then action taken. No real rhyme or reason to it.
