    So do I respond to this LBC? Do I need to do anything right now or do I await the court papers?

    unless you are willing to pay up IN FULL , you reply with a debt denied letter , same as everybody else with an LBC from Gladstones

    yes its an LBC , how do I know ?

    1) their client is PCM , (the PPC themselves) not a DCA

    2) it tells you to phone GLADS , and not a DCA

    3) it has their GOLF CLUB address on it , not red cow yard

    4) it tells you to PAY UP , IN FULL

    so yes , treat it as an LBC and respond accordingly

    CM told you this in post #25 , and where to find examples

    but bear in mind they are not likely to read any response and will likely issue a court claim in the next few weeks , regardless of what YOU want , you are no longer in control (unless you pay in full)

    welcome to our grown up world of being an adult and now responsible for your destiny

    I dont wish to sound harsh , but have been through this with my 3 lads and now one of my grand daughters who is your age

    ie:- its not as simple as when adults were responsible on your behalf , plus you have to sort out your own problems , debts and alleged debts

    we really want you to take them on and win , same as many others do, but you need to wake up and face reality

    you will get help from here free of charge , so I suggest you gen up on this topic and follow the advice given

    and remove the picture , redact your name and reference code etc , then re-upload it again

    Hi everybody,

    I have now posted of a letter back to them, similar to Gan's letter given in the Newbie thread.

    Redx, apologies if at any time I came off as rude or negligent, I did not mean to express myself in that way and was genuinely confused regarding their postal address. Many thanks for clearing the confusion on that.

    Thank you Redx, Coupon-mad, Quentin and Pappa Golf (and anyone else who has helped!). I will await their reply, or court papers, and proceed as advised in the Newbie thread. I'll post back here if I need any more help from you guys - thanks for giving all this advice for free, it is very much appreciated.

    I hope you all have a great weekend.

    dont worry about it

    seen it many times with "teenagers" , lol

    the hard part is getting them to understand our "adult" point of view and take onboard that we "old and wise owls" may actually know more about the subject :) lol

    hopefully you will now be more receptive to the free advice being offered, plus I can assure you it is better advice than if you actually had paid for it , or tried the C.A.B. etc

    it may not be what you want to hear , but it is the correct advice that you needed

    if there had been a magic bullet !! ie:- an easy solution , we would have told you about it
