Classic DCB Legal Letter of Claim, all this over 1 minute!

Hi,

We've been pursued by these scumbags for a while now and they're not getting the message. A while ago my partner stopped at the infamous Stanstead (McDonald/Starbucks) car park that's been  featured on the TV for being a total scam hotspot! We've been hit with a fine for staying in the car park under some rules that were not obvious on their parking signs. Only via a sandwich board propped up against a lamppost? We've written to them to explain we wouldn't be paying the fine and sent photo evidence of their signs with no mention of what we were being fined for but no response, just crappy letter after crappy letter. Now we have the classic Letter of Claim (attached). is this just a case of ignoring and will sending them any sort of response to the Letter of claim help?

Thanks in advance

    You can always hop to page one on any forum; you always have a breadcrumb trail link back to an overarching category, like you do when online shopping.

    See my signature for where to click:
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
