    By discontinue we mean discontinue a county court claim.

    If you receive a letter from the court you have to defend and do a bit of online paperwork. It's a few months after a court claim that they throw in the towel.

    Of course not!

    You must defend a claim form if one arrives. Then they end up giving up. Costs you nothing and is easy (as long as you don't move house without updating them).

    This is all explained in post 2 of the NEWBIES thread.

    Can you send the newbies thread again. I cant find it. They replied to my appeal 4 days ago saying they declined internal appeal. 14 days until debt collectors get involved or whatever. Must i still wait 14 days for a claim form to arrive?

    Debt collectors letters will arrive. POST 4 in the NEWBIES tells you how to deal with Debt Letters.
    NEWBIES is at the top of page 1 beside the other 6 Announcement threads.
    To get there click in the white box that says Parking tickets, fines & parking 
    you'll see one near the top and bottom of every page.
