    OK.  My advice is as above.  All of us are advising you to obviously ignore the daft threatograms. Nothing new. Nothing scary.  

    All stages covered in the NEWBIES thread.

    You must tell ECP if your address changes.
    I will ignore and report back of any changes.

    Thank you.

    Hi

    I have now received an update to this.

    They now demand £170!!!!!!!!!!

    The letter offers me two options

    Option A: pay £170

    Option B: Face potential court action

    There is second page as an additional letter with red banner that has terminal notice pre legal action

    This was sent from recovery plus

    What do I do!!!

    I assume that means you have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd.

    The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to deal with debt collector's letters, but to summarise that post - ignore them.
  • And in future never admit anything!

    Thanks @KeithP

    Yes DRP -  I'm going to ignore the letter.

    What is the potential outcome from this?

    Will ECP take this to court?

    Will they sell the debt on?

    You need to read a lot more of the NEWBIES thread and then come back here if you still have any unanswered questions.

    £170 demands are normal from this rogue industry and always completely ignored.

    I don't know why you are surprised, except that I think it must be that you haven't read the NEWBIES announcement thoroughly enough. Everyone expects these letters & laughs at them.

    Please read post 4 of the NEWBIES thread.  Then read post 2 of it. That is all.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    You don't have a debt, it hasn't and can't be "sold on" you have a scary letter from a bunch of greedy Muppets.
