    worry not , its only a debt collector letter

    it is only if you get an official LBC from an actual solicitor, or a court claim from Northampton that you need to look into it further

    its clearly a copy and paste error as the small claims court is limited to £5000 , so little point worrying about a demand for £15 million !!

    contact prankster about it as he had another one last wekk sent to him

    and complain to the DVLA and the SRA and Theresa May too
  • Someone at Gladstones / DR+ has clearly managed to totally balls-up their robo-template letters, such that the mail-merge they use is looking at a date field in the database for a value.

    I suspect that it should be an expression that says "IF [before] date THEN <price_one> ELSE <price_two>", and the expression has stopped working, or has been fiddled with.

    I wonder if it hasn't been done on purpose.

    People receive these, panic, spot the error then ring to point out/check the 'error' that they have stated the date rather than amount. Operator apologises and tells the 'correct' amount, person is so relived it is an error any pays up :eek:
  • Thats what i thought but i dont have a clue about all this stuff my first reaction was rip up the letter! Haha the thought of 15 million pound then i realised it must of been mistake rand the number automatically takes you to DRP so i hung up the national debt line said i could pay in installments haha wonder if my great great great great great great grand kids would appreciate the debt in many years to come haha
  • Ask Nigel to see if he can get Trumpy to give you a loan :D
