    Early paragraphs in the second post of the NEWBIES thread explain how to react upon receipt of a Letter of Claim.

    Except DO NOT SEND A SAR.

    I must remove the SAR advice.

    I’m not sure that it matters, if the PoC fail the CPR/PD. A rule is a rule and if they break that rule, irrespective of what is in a SAR result, the claim should be struck out.

    i really apperciate everyones help with this.

    I really struggle with understanding the whole legal side of this and i know the information is all there on the Newbie thread, but im not sure i am able to pull all of this together.

    What will happen if i didnt respond again, is there a good chance they will take me to court as thye have done nothing over the past 15 months.

    Its just a little overwhelming.

    Please take your time and read what I've now put as how to respond to a LBC.  I've written it as a very straightforward 'a, b, c' three point reply which anyone can type.

    Show us your draft reply.

  • Hi, I have the same LBC from the same firm about the same car park. I got it today. Mine is dated from 2 years ago.

    Just looking about the forum on what to do as previously I've just ignored letters like this.

    I'm sure they won't  'prosecute'!

    That's impossible.  But you want the Court Claim because that's when we win.
