Take the number (assuming they have put one on) and phone Northampton court to see if its genuine. If it is then come back, if its a fraud one then ignore them but complain to trading standards.
edit. How long ago did they start harassing you. This is too short a time scale for a normal one so I fully expect it to be an extension of the scam.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
The date of the orig letter was30-6-11 received another on 10-8-11 then nothing until yesterday the ammount they are claiming is £425 now but they will graciously settle for £265 also there is no claim no on claim form !0

Have they actually sent you a copy of the court papers, or are they just threatening to in one of their letters?What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

So it looks as though they have sent a blank copy of a claim form, hoping to scare you into paying up. If that's true then they are being very naughty. I am sure we had a similar occurrence of this a few days ago.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
So still ok to ignore them then? I was having a meal in KFC with my sons when" offence" occured so dont want to give money to people who should get a proper job!!0

Yes, just ignore. Until you receive proper court papers that are embossed with a court stamp and has a case number, then you will be OK. What you might want to do is to report the company to Trading Standards for what appears to be deliberate deception.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

This is a common tactic with a blank claim form now!! Very cheeky and I bet it works on some people.
It's nothing more then a scare tactic.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Igore all the way. If it did go to court, I don't know how they are going to satisfy the judge that your actions have cost them £425 when you parked your car at KFC. Thought of that one?
By the way - they don't even know who the driver was and I take it you've hitherto avoided contact. If so, best way and keep it up.0
