    No, do not ignore them and don't let it get that far! PE are taking more people to court than ever before. Go to the top of this forum and read some of the recent threads on dealing with them, not old pre-POFA ones.

    What you need to do if you are in England or Wales is make a "soft" challenge/appeal, this can be as hard or soft as you like as it will most likely be refused - but you need to insist on a POPLA code along with any refusal.

    Then you take a good look at the various successful POPLA challenges here and choose the ones most apt to your situation and base a proper challenge on that.

    Hi just to add that PE has started rejecting what it calls 'generic appeals' (ie cut and paste appeals that it has seen before) and refusing to give a POPLA code.

    To avoid this, I suggest that you have a first paragraph containing any mitigating circumstances relating to what actually happened on the day in your case, and link the appeal into that.

    Have a look at my post today on this thread to see what I mean

    Thank you for your help, I have sent off my letter and now wait the reply. Then onto next step, I guess.
