    Read it again, because I can guarantee it does not say that. It probably says something along the lines that they will recommend that their client starts thinking about maybe starting court proceedings. Which is very different.

    DRP are not in a position to take you to court, as they don't hold the alleged debt. It's also not in their interest for their client to do so, as DRP will get paid nothing if that were to happen. It's simply scare tactics.

    If it's only Euro Car Parks and Debt Recovery Plus, DO NOT contact them, no silly ringing them up like complete numpties do.

    Ignore it. :)
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
