    Yes just send it and keep proof. And start reading lots of UKPC/SCS court defences, in readiness.

    Your link didn't work, we can't see it.

    There is no way you can accept being threatened
    with bailiffs, attachment to earnings, by these financial
    thugs ... IT'S NOT EVEN GONE TO COURT YET

    And then they talk about the Beavis case to try and scare
    you .... the fact is the Beavis case has no bearing
    whatsoever to do with you.

    From what I read from their letter, they have not tended
    an ounce of proof of their claim other to say you over
    stayed

    If that is how they think the new procedure works, its
    time for SCS to start doing their homework

    Nobody can accept this rubbish and that is why you
    MUST send copies of this letter to Sir Greg Knight who
    proposed the new private members parking bill

    https://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/sir-greg-knight/1200

    Nobody should put up with with such threats, they are
    highly misleading and menacing ????

    The SRA should be highly ashamed of SCS as they are
    not in the interests of the public

    These were the methods of the Kray Twins

    I understand why UKPC live in the sewers, as they are known
    scammers and fakers but for SCS to stoop so low gives a very
    bad name for real solicitors
  • The acceptability of the SCS correspondence lies in whether there is use of the word MAY obtain judgment and MAY be able to take the following steps.

    If the letter states expressly or impliedly that any of those steps WILL happen, it is misleading as to the debt process and may be in breach of SRA guidance.
    http://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/code-of-conduct/guidance/warning-notices/Debt-recovery-work-and-relationships-with-debt-recovery-businesses--Warning-notice.page

    I set out some of the SRA guidance in reply a wright hassall letter that was doing the rounds a little while back. WH appear to have subsequently changed that precedent :) Others have not :(

    I would say it does on the second page, imply that those steps WILL happen, because it says to avoid these steps, you must contact someone called Abdullah at UKPC and pay.

    To any reasonable interpretation, the two bullet points above that demand for money paragraph on page two, are the 'steps' that the letter says can only be avoided by paying UKPC.

  • @Coupon I failed to scroll down, it does qualify it - probably enough -

    It states IF judgment is secured AND IF you don't pay the judgment debt.

    Bet their sign doesn't say they'll charge £60 per referral to debt recovery though. Most don't. In which case the letter is misleading that way. And if it is a letter before action, I do hope they have provided all the documents they should have done (I suspect not)

    It's not just misleading, it is menacing and threatening and
    what would be expected from back street loan sharks

    You are a solicitor, do you think the SRA was set up to
    protect a Kray Twins operation ????
