    Thanks Beamerguy.

    What's the likely outcome if they appoint a soilicitor?

    It's highly possible. Then it's up to your defence which you
    will get all the help here.

    As you know, as from the 1st October, the ball park has changed
    regarding claims and what it means is the claimant must
    open a dialogue with you and not making wild unfounded
    threats

    Should a solicitor not comply with the new procedures, anyone
    can complain directly to the Ministry of Justice, David Lidington
    The new procedure is now law.

    As of now, you deny any debt and request proof.
    If they ignore thar, they are in trouble

    They will lose a court case and pay you £95 plus all their legal costs.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
