SCS solicitor letter

Hi,

My girlfriend is a named driver of my car, and picked up some parking fines from Britannia parking for parking at her place of work 6 times without a ticket, totaling £400.

I've been ignoring the letters from Britannia and the debt collection agencies, but have recently received a letter from SCS solicitors. On the last page, it states "Please note that this letter is to be considered a letter before claim...." I need to respond to this one, right?

It also states that payment needs to be made to "parking@scs-law.co.uk".

Is it possible that this still won't lead to an actual claim?

Thanks.

    Britannia never sue (as yet) so it is highly unlikely to go to a claim. I wouldn't worry!

    Search the forum for SCS Britannia as we had a thread like this recently, with advice on it.
