You seem to making excuses to yourself to justify paying it
Court papers won arrive in 22 days. More like 2 to 4 weeks after lbc expiry

So I sent them this:
Good Morning,

Your client has done nothing useful for consumers, has not incurred additional 'costs' and the added 'fee' for what is a purely automated letter chain is, I suspect, not part of any prominent contractual term on the sign.

Send me a copy of the sign and you may need to put a ring round the small print, I suspect, if trying to point out some hidden term.  Not a stock sign.  I want to see the sign in situ that day, please. A copy of the contract (sign) is reasonable to request under the PAP for debt claims and you must hold the case whilst I seek debt advice about this non-existent debt.

Whilst the new Code and Act is not retrospective, it was enacted due to the failure of the self-serving BPA & IPC Codes of Practice.  The Minister is indisputably talking about existing (not future) cases when declaring that 'recovery' fees were 'designed to extort money'.  A clear steer for the Courts.  Your client has no chance of getting that element.

yours faithfully,

And they just emailed this reply:

Good Morning

 

We write in response to your email dated 09/03/2022.

 

Copies of the signage have already been provided and will not be provided again. Please refer to previous correspondence.

 

We will no longer be entering into correspondence regarding the same issues raised. If payment is not made within the next 17 days, further action may be taken.

Kind Regards,  
 

DCB Legal Limited 


The signage they have provided are not from 2016 I presume?? 

I'm thinking of making an offer but not sure how much and should I email it or call? I am still undecided if I  will fight in court but I am gathering the evidence I will need. Any advise from anyone who has been at this stage before would be greatly received, thank you.

A phone call is worth the paper it is printed on, everything in writing!

I see the suggested debt is £155 £85 without all their charges I was thinking of offering £85? What do you think or should I just fight it out in court?

Coupon-mad

Why do you think you need to offer to settle?

Did you deliberately not pay a tariff or something?  It's just that everyone here defends court claims and rarely is there a case where that's not feasible.

Where posters follow all advice at every stage of the court process, we win 99% of cases here and people pay nothing.
