Scottish but ticket in England

My education is this area is clearly lacking and I apologise and once again thank you for your help :-)

that was kinda my thinking lol. Faithfully sounds more personal to me but I now remember that its the correct one for Sir/Madam

Nope.

'Yours faithfully' is the correct valediction to a 'Dear Sir(s)' salutation.

'Yous sincerely' should follow a more personal 'Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms xxxxx salutation.

Glad to see there's someone else here who was taught "proper" how to address and sign off letters

We had to write dozens of sample letters in primary school at the age of (around) 8 or 9. Tends to stick with you.

Don't even get me started on 'times tables'!

Me too. No offence to the OP but it does grate on me to receive a letter from a company with Dear MR .... , yours faithfully ????

The parking scammers and their dodgy legals are full of this sh*t

Hi everyone - Happy New Year.

I've had a reply to my letter inviting BW legal to start court proceedings immediately.

This next letter seems to be the letter before court action
"we have been instructed... to commence legal action in the form of issuing a Claim against you in the County Court" The date given for payment is the 1st February.
Estimated charges if it goes to court - £232.28

Still no reference to the fact that it would need to happen through Sheriff Court here in Scotland so not sure if this might just be a final attempt to call my bluff?

Would you advise just ignore it and potentially see it all the way through to court or trying to fight the ticket at this stage?

Thanks and best wishes

Does the letter give you 30 days to pay and include financial forms (which you don't fill in)? If so it is a "proper" LBC and you should send a rebuttal. If you receive court papers I would be surprised but if you do, you must follow what they tell you to do, however, not sure how you would do an AOS for a Scottish Sheriff's court based on papers sent from Northampton Business Centre!

MCOL can't issue papers to a Scottish address.

Doesn't state 30 days but that they must receive payment or response by the 1st February 2019 (35 days from letter being sent to me and 28 days from it being received) and I have income / expenditure forms if that is what you mean? If so I will work on the rebuttal as outlined on the forum (starting with deficiencies in the LBC itself)
Thank you

I understood this to be true too, the bit I am unclear on is if they can somehow move it over to the Sheriff's court or not?
