Duplicate thread - please ignore

Hi,
My daughter has just received a Letter of Claim from UKCPS. She previously wrote to them disputing their charges in April (using a template letter copied from here) and has since been ignoring all letters (but keeping them) I've looked this up but most seem to talk about Letter Before Claim which is not what she has received, are they the same thing? This letter talks about them accepting a settlement figure if paid with 14 days or if no contact is made with 30 days they will commence court proceedings. Should she ignore this letter or reply as it it was a Letter Before Claim? Thanks for any advice
Allie

A 'Letter of Claim' is exactly the same as a 'Letter Before Claim'.

Treat the Letter of Claim exactly as described in post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread for a Letter Before Claim.

Now please copy your post above onto your existing thread.

Please do not start a new thread whenever you think of a question.

Having done that perhaps you can replace your text above with something like:

seems to me its a Letter Before Claim , Letter Of Claim , Letter Before County Court Claim etc

read what BARGEPOLE recently said about these ambiguous words

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5873602/letter-of-claim-residential-parking-space post #4

so treat it as an LBC , DESPITE what you think (irrelevant) and see if it meets the PaP oct 2017 legal protocols by studying it carefully against those new protocols

then look at other recent LBC rebuttal letters to B W LEGAL etc and construct your own rebuttal letter using those as examples, especially if the evidence etc is not present

then you keep playing ping pong until they either desist, or they issue an MCOL from Northampton (court claim)

even if you do the donkey work, it comes from her

also see post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread for LBC rebuttal guidance too

so just treat it as an LBC and issue a rebuttal , possibly by adapting post #16 of the earlier link I gave you to that post #4 (the LBC explanations for pedantry)
