    Now I have received a "Final Notice" from Equita. That was only 1 week after the previous Take Formal Notice.
    Any ideas what next I can expect and when?

    Yeke, we really don't need to know about debt collector's letters.

    You know how to deal with them and that's all that matters.

    As to your question... it is futile to guess.
    Go back and re-read some of the answers you have already received.

    What was the response you received from your MP?

    The bully boys in action again .... scary scary ... but as
    they are only debt collectors you ignore them, let them
    waste their time

    Interesting little line from them ....
    Take Formal Notice

    They pinched that from Donald Trump when he was shooting
    tweets to Kim

    Now you wait to see what PE will do

    Not really related to this but I have received another letter from PE directly about a parking charge from 2016. PE tells me that my address was supplied by a Credit Reference Agency (because I had not updated DVLA)

    Any idea which Credit Reference Agency is doing this or is this now common practice?

    It's a common practice. Could be any one of them.

    To update and ask for further advice.
    I have received a letter titled "Notice of Intention". It also state that they are authorised under "The Taking Control of Goods Regulation 2013" to attend my address to execute the aforementioned order.

    Is this a real threat?

    Have you been to court and lost? Or are you selectively quoting?

    It either has loads of "mays" and "ifs" or you have lost in court as a court has to authorise a control of goods.

    (4) The court may only make an order under paragraph (3) where it is satisfied that, if the order is not made, it is likely that goods of the debtor will be moved to premises other than relevant premises, or otherwise disposed of, in order to avoid the goods being taken control of by the enforcement agent
