As mentioned above

That's nothing more than a debt collector's letter. The clue is '14 days'.

The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to deal with debt collector's letters, but to summarise that post - ignore them.

Don't forget as a resident of Scotland you are outside the jurisdiction of the County Court system.

A Money Claim to a Scottish address ought to be thrown out by the system, if it is not you can contest jurisdiction.

They're highly unlikely to try a claim via a Simple Procedure in the Scottish courts.

Trace usually leads to BW Legal.

 Not ant more: Trace letters now lead to their connected law firm, Moorside Legal and they are filing claims for UKCPS.

Easy to defend. @zand needs to search the forum for Moorside UKCPS Claim. Read up!

So is this likely to end up with an LoC and potential court proceedings. I'm dealing with my father's Alzheimers condition worsening at the moment and the thought of extra grief isn't exactly ideal.

Is this likely to be the case? Or would they do a remote hearing at a local courthouse.

It doesn't matter. In Scotland, claims brought using the Act of Sederunt/Simple Procedure prohibit the claimant from receiving expenses below £300. A claim for a single PCN, even including court costs and fake add on debt collection charges would still result in the claimant receiving nothing. It is not economically viable as they would lose money.
Multiple PCNs in Scotland are a different matter, but if you got a claim from an English or Welsh court, you would contest jurisdiction.

So with this happening in Manchester and myself residing in Scotland is the letter simply a hopeful punt at trying to get me to pay or are they likely to forward this on to UKCPS's solicitor?

Will they add further costs on their letter?

Nellymoser

Of course they hope to scare you into paying.

You keep asking the same question. Posters can't tell you any more other than it's unlikely. There isn't an abundance of threads on here about motorists receiving letters from Sheriff Courts in Scotland regarding monies PPC claim they are owed for a pcn. 

I believe the last court claim attempt in Scotland for single pcns was 2014. The defendants refused to settle out of court the PPC's Solicitor then asked court to dismiss the cases day before the hearing.

As ChirpyChicken says stop speculating just deal with the letter if it arrives.

Nellymoser

They can add whatever costs they like that doesn't mean they get what they ask for.
