    Received the exact same letter of claim today, for an offence in Tesco 2016, would appreciate any advice, will this go onto my credit file, or worse bailiffs turn up to my home? TIA

    No and no.
  • Thanks for yous reply, what’s the best option just just ignore it, or some type of response? Was close to paying it today as applying for a mortgage and didn’t want it to affect our chances! Thanks

    YOU CANNOT GET A CCJ UNLESS A JUDGE DECIDES YOU HAVE LOST. THEN YOU GET UP TO 30 DAYS TO PAY .... NO CCJ

    That's if you lose. No threat on your credit rating
  • I received one yesterday - hence setting up the username lol

    My question is, should I just ignore and se what comes of it? - what happens if I do ignore..?

    I’m guessing they’re fishing if they are sending out mass letters of claim in the hope people bottle it and make contact with them.

    For reference, in Summer 17, I ignored 3 letters off NPS and two bailiff letters off DCBL or whatever they are called!

    It is simply a debt collection tool

    Thanks for the link. So as it’s only a 14 day letter you would advise to just ignore that and see what they send. Is a SAR just a case of emailing them with the request specifically?

    I have received the same letter in the post, from a PCN in 2017.

    They have gave me 14 days to pay the £160 (which includes £60 debt recovery costs) or they will file their claim in the County Court.

    Post #2 of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to do that.
