    "I keep thinking if i wait more then they might slap more costs on."

    How does that matter?! You'll never pay more than the fuel (plus small claims fees if they take it to court and win) and you already know retailers cannot inflate losses with admin fees.

    I received another letter on 19 August. I didn't read it properly. It says failure to pay within 7 days the client may consider taking further action resulting in legal proceedings etc.

    Im just ignoring them. The cheque i sent hasn't been cashed. Will let you know when they contact agsin

    Unkomaas, i had sent the cheque for the unpaid fuel and unless the accept that or mediate there's no point in these letters. What do you think/advise?

    Has the cheque been cashed?

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Unkomaas, i have just checked and the cheque has been cashed. I had checked but think l had missed it. So i sent it off on 2nd Aug and it's been cashed on 10th Aug. However after 10th August I have still received letters from QDR.

    Could it be they have cashed this and still thinking of pursuing further costs.

    See they haven't even acknowledged payment received nor have they taken me off the blacklist. So every time l go into the petrol pump the cashiers are ogling at me as there is still a marker on my car reg.

    Should i contact qdr and say that l have noticed it's been cashed and could they o now take the marker off my car so l csn use the petrol pump. Or should l wait for then to contact me.

    I agree.

    You have paid the debt and they accepted it. The fake added costs are unrecoverable because they are plucked out of thin air and are not on any prominent sign.
