Hi everyone

CASE NUMBER.....CABOT FINANCIAL V ME
URGENT COURT MATTER-DO NOT IGNORE THIS NOTICE
Urgent documents are being held at County Court at Northampton for your attention. You can collect these documents in person from the open counter.
If you unable to collect please email at northamotnbailiff@justice.gov.uk

    You need to deal with this, do not ignore it.

    Presumably you know what debt this relates to?

    Go to the court with the letter - you should find out all you need to know.

    Are you sure this letter is genuine? Unless you live in or very close to Northampton it seems unluikely that the court would require you to go there to collect documents.

    Contact the court directly, don't use number in letter. See what they have
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......

    Have you noticed the e mail address?
    I would expect it to say Northampton not what is written?

    1. Are you expecting this? Do you owe money?

    2. Is the email address really as you wrote it or is that a typo?
    3. What is the phone number? Does it correspond to the courts number you'd find on google?

    Everything about this screams "scam."

    No way would the court send a letter to a defendant asking them to come in, why not just send them the correspondence?.

    Phone the number at https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/courts/northampton-crown-county-and-family-court and find out from the horse's mouth if this is legitimate.

    Do not send an email, phone them

    I think that there is a high probability that this letter originated from Cabot Financial to get you to contact them.
