    Should I address TNC at this point? Ignored since April and wondering whether I should just keep on ignoring? BPMA Insight suggests the odds are in my favour?

    TNC are debt collectors, continue to ignore. The only thing that will get them off your back is a cheque!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    TNC are just non descript timewasters so why waste YOUR
    time {text removed by MSE Forum Team}, pointless

    Thanks infinitely! Do you agree the letter is okay? I was considering sending it to the Partner of the firm, Guy Hopson? Would that be best do you think?

    A good start is the boss.

    But hey, depending on his reply, the world is open for you
    Facebook, Twitter and your local press

    I am sure Guy will understand about these scammers
    and take the appropriate action to get rid of them

    I did get a response, very much of the ostrich variety, bandying about words such as "defamatory". However, they assured me that they are investigating.

    I have asked them if they have a any objection to me publishing their letter in full. If they have it will not look well for them. .

    Yes, send it to the boss of the firm, if it was not signed by anyone in particular.

    I would be inclined to give them time to reply first. To be fair this may be news to them too.

    Be interesting to see what their investigation turns up, as above.

    Haha, once again, well played Sir! Perhaps you should invite them onto this forum for a factual and friendly discussion about it?

    I have now had another email, very hostile, in fact, quite rude. We have clearly touched a nerve.

    They think that this is none of my business, and are even threatening me. They do not want me to correspond with them further, they do not want me to publish the exchange of emails.

    Let us see how they perform in court, after all, they could hardly do worse than Gladstones and BWL.

    That is a shame considering you were attempting to help

    At this point we can only hope that they read the whole
    forum and especially the Parking Pranksters huge blog
