    So a compliant letter before court would give 30 days notice, this just says that I should pay the full amount within 14 days or a written response thus meaning this isn't a LBC at all despite it saying "Letter before court action" at the top.
    Should my next step be to respond to them? If so what template would be best to send?
    If it says 'Letter Before Court Action' you treat it exactly as that; it needs a formal response. Whether it complies with the PAP needs to be challenged in the response.

    Anyway, no more random questions please, as everything you need to know about the whole court procedure - from the LBC (where you are now) right through to the actual hearing - is contained in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2, written by court experts including parts (and some templates) by practising solicitors.

    Please spend plenty of time understanding all of it, because the more knowledge you gain from your study of it, the more likely you will fight this charge off.
    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.
