    3 letter approach is faster than paying the amount. ;)

    Not sure if the above is meant to be a serious point, but it's definitely correct, you can certainly post off 3 letters in a much shorter time than you could pay the loan off, and it only costs you three stamps - whether it would actually get you anywhere is an entirely different matter.

    I'm not aware of any Court cases where this FOTL type nonsense has worked.

    The FOTL crackpots may well denounce UK currency as meaningless yet none of them would walk past a tenner lying in the street without picking it up.
