Trace Recovery letter offering 'coronavirus discounts' of £50

Good morning,
I just received a letter this morning from Trace Debt Recovery, in regards to a PCN notice from Sept last year. Hayes & Harlington Station where I was given a ticket for doing a three point turn.....
Anyhoo, Trace in their generosity have offered me a £50 discount if I pay now. The letter is hilarious and claims this is due to coronavirus restrictions and they 'want to take the pressure of the impending CCJ off my mind'. They then go on to remind me that a CCJ could be sent at any time in the next 6 years and imply that I will be found guilty and have to pay much more than their 'generous' £110!!!!
Has anyone else got these? Thought some of you on here would get a giggle from it.
I have added the letter to my now large file of evidence against the PCM Ltd and Trace. I'll see them in court.

Sounds like you know the score!
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Oh yes, I've read all about it. Contacted the local MP etc and even went through the IAS for the laugh. I am looking forward to wasting their time and money. I hope covid has hit their pockets and they collapse.3

You have to laugh at the mentality of these money scammers.
What they really mean is that coronavirus is causing major financial problems for THE PPC
The threat of a CCJ is all mickey mouse stuff and is the sign of pure desperation
One day they will wake up to the fact that they are POWERLESS4 -
They then go on to remind me that a CCJ could be sent at any time in the next 6 years
CCJs are not "sent", they are awarded by a county curt judge after a court hearing where he/she decides for the claimant. They can be removed/voided if paid promptlyYou never know how far you can go until you go too far.2
