    The thought of court proceedings is very worrying to me as I'm sure it is with others. X

    I think you've got the wrong idea of what the small claims court is like.

    Have a look at this short video:

    There are simply photos of a stationary car is all. I made this point on appeal but obviously they plough on regardless x

    They'd get short shrift I would imagine from any Judge they would be daft enough to put this one in front of. I can't see it getting anywhere near a courtroom.

    So what would usually happen? I'd get numerous threats and then it would go away? Thank you so much for your time x

    No-one can predict the final outcome 100% accurately!


    But certainly expect unpleasant debt chasing letters


    And let them know if you move any time in the 6 years from the original incident

    Powerless debt collector threatening letters for a few months - ignore these. It will go quiet thereafter, but there may be a bit of a further flurry a couple of years on. Keep them in a file, but all can be ignored.

    You just need to keep an eye open for a Letter of Claim, or real court papers from the Northampton CCBC. Vanishingly unlikely (but we can never say 'never'), but come back on this thread if you do receive either.

    I've paid it! Got too worried and my dad was the registered keeper and didn't want him getting concerned with it ... may have been different if it was me getting the letters x

    I suspect most posters who never return do. At least you came back and told us.
