    This is covered in the FAQ

    After an initial appeal to IPC companies is rejected you ignore everything except a lbcca or Court correspondence

    They have 6 years to start legal action against you

    Come back for advice on how to deal with this at that time if it arises
  • Thanks for the fast response.

    That is how I read it, my uncertainty was that I do not want to be taken to court as I admitted to being the driver in my appeal.

    6 years is a long wait it seems easier to just pay the charge or is that just my fears?

    Should I appeal to the IAS?

    Court Report: UKCPM hit for £1,000, Gladstones incompetence shown up again
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5879258/court-report-ukcpm-hit-for-1-000-gladstones-incompetence-shown-up-again

    UKCPM are known scammers so they will reject, they
    only want money. They belong to the IPC which is now
    the biggest scam in the UK, set up by Gladstones solicitors

    No point in appealing to the IPC they only have the interests
    of their scammers, UKCPM at heart

    This is how this will unfold for you.

    You will get debt collector letters telling you lies
    and making threats they cannot carry out.
    In preparation of this, read up here ....

    As you will see, these people are complete morons which
    you totally ignore .... REGARDLESS WHAT THE IDIOTS SAY

    Then wait, if UKCPM take it further, come back here
    for help and sound advice

    Your fear is precisely what scammers prey on.

    What 'worries' you about court?
    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.

    Please read up on this as advised in #2!

    This is all covered by the FAQ.

    If you had taken the trouble to do so you would know the futility of appeals to IPC companies!

    #4 in the FAQ covers debt collectors stage

    It's not too onerous to ignore them!!
