Vanquish debt prior to legal action letter

Danknott15

Good morning, I've been a long time admirer of this forum and used its advice but I now need personal help. I received a parking notice in August for parking slightly over the white line whilst in Blackpool. Once the letter came through I read up about it online and that you shoulf ignore all letters until court papers arrive.
I'm now at the stage where vanquish debt have sent me a letter today that is titled 'Prior to legal action'. What do I do? I don't want this going to court, am I best just to pay the fine?

So you say you admire the forum but don't pay any attention to the advice given on it - weird!

You ned to read the 'NEWBIES' sticky post at the top of the parking board, figure out which stage you are at and start following the advice. If you have any specific questions you can use this thread to ask them.

Vanquish are the same firm as the PPC, advice is to ignore all debt collectors.

Ignore debt collectors - but come back if the parking firm try a claim. Defendable, and we win.

Hello, just read these replies (very late I know), ignored the correspondence as above but now received a final letter before court claim. Can somebody advice what to do? Are they taking me to court?

Any help very much appreciated.

Have you read the NEWBIES thread post #2 about replying to a LBCCC? Do that first.

Letter is from a company called debt logic which I've seen is another trading name for Vanquish debt recoveries.

Does it say will or will advise? Does it comply with the new pap for debt claims?

ok , you may have read that debt collectors cannot take a person to court , only the parking co or solisitors paid for by the parking Co
