You can go to post reply and then type in the naughty words and use preview post to see without posting anything

Is it just me or is everyone a bit happy on here tonight??

Well, no reply from Britannia, but another letter from the DCA this morning, a mere 6 days after their last one (but dated 3 days after).

Notice of Legal Action, if I don't pay today they are suing (their word) me for £15.

I am preparing a return letter as we speak!

do not let them into your home-they are not allowed to come in without a warrant but be careful as the longer you put off the charges the more they add up.
i actually had something similar happen with the local council-they refered me to bailiffs for unpaid council tax and when i contacted the council-threatening them with local mp (that often works) they apoligised and realised i was actually £297 IN CREDIT! but they then refered me again and i was told i had to pay the charges for all the letters that were sent-after complaining to both council and baillifs nothing was sorted-until i went to mp, council apologised (over the phone)&i am paid up on c/tax til march nxt yr! and i did not have to pay charges-my advice threaten company with local mp-and that you are going to tell EVERYONE of te shoddy service you have recieved! they don like bad press!
good luck-sorry about the essay but hope it helps!

just to be silly- if you do decide to pay bailiffs pay them £15 in pennies-they can't refuse payment and it will be hilarious (cant spell!) to watch them count it!!!!!!!!11

Back in the days of the poll tax, I had a visit from the Council Bailiff, for a sum of £10.00, due from my then 16 year old son, who was genuinely at school when this misguided gentleman called. Genuinely surprised that I would not let him in to the house (it was absolutely sheeting down) we discussed the matter on the doorstep. regardless of the principles of poll tax, he afreed, after about 10 minutes, that it actually cost more to call, than the amount allegedly due. He left and neither we, nor my son, heard any more.
Probably irrelevent to your case, but surely there must be a balance between amount claimed to be due and cost of collection, or has the world finally admitted to going mad?

Yes they can. Copper is only legal tender in sums up to 20p, silver is only legal in sums up to £5. (If I remember rightly).
