You do if you've never seen those threads before.
But fair comment.

Hi folks I've got another solicitor letter, this time done up to look scarily similar to a county court summons.  They say if I don't settle up within n days then they will start legal action and this time they really really mean it.  They say if it goes to court then I'll end up paying a total of £235

I made a mistake and paid for the wrong car park within the NCP empire, I SUPPOSE I owe them some kind of "penalty" but NOT the exorbitant costs they added on top.  

So my question is, how much should I offer as a settlement, an amount that a judge might consider reasonable???

Advice GRATEFULLY RECEIVED thanks folks

These cases never receive a summons , it's not a criminal matter , it's a civil matter

Any court claim comes from the CCBC in Northampton , until then there is nothing to worry about , the claimant follows government rules and sends a court claim pack from the CCBC in Northampton , so that would be an official notice of claim ( not a summons , you will not get a summons )

The n days is important , was it 7 or14 or 30. ?? Only 30 is noteworthy , not 7 or 14

Post a redacted picture of the latest drivel , so we can see what you are seeing

Yes I kind of knew about the CCBC thing, I've used it myself a couple of times when people haven't paid me

I'm scanning now BRB

another few pages that looked court-like, with boxes to tick

So you have received a Letter of Claim.

The first few paragraphs of the second post on the NEWBIES thread explain exactly how you should deal with that.

If you already have the SAR reply from months ago , just email the 30 days hold , as above , post 2 of the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements

Then start preparing for the court claim pack from the CCBC in Northampton to arrive next month
