Rather than worrying, appealing or losing sleep, i sent the following back to them, i've heard nothing back since. Feel free to adjust and use as a template. Your ref: ******/******** Re: OurClient DVLA Vehicle: ******* To P.W.Moody I received your letter with your ref no above on 30/08/12. After I stopped laughing at it I decided to reply as opposed to ignoring you, which was my first alternative. You state you are acting for the DVLA for an outstanding amount of £80.00,and I must settle in the course of the next 7 days or you will institute legal proceedings against me (whatever that means). You also state court and solicitors costs pursuant to Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984. I am not familiar with sections and acts with dates attached, (to which you will be relying on in court), therefore I require you to forward copies of these sections/acts/dates to myself so that I may familiarise myself with them. I understand this will take me over your 7 day deadline, as you state, but I would appreciate if you could halt or offset any additional expenses, as you state, until I can establish that I do indeed have to give you any of my jobseekers allowance for an alleged debt, that you will be submitting in court as a legally enforced debt (being asolicitor). I’m not a solicitor, (unlike yourself), but I do understand (after taking advice from a proper solicitor)that I can charge for my time and research to any correspondence to an“alleged” debt that I dispute, deny or contest. Therefore, P.W. Moody(solicitor), I require you to submit to myself all steps you have taken to confirm that there is an actual debt owed to your client, (DVLA). If you cannot provide any debt exists I require you to forward me your regulatory body, as I feel you may be acting illegally by trying to extort money by deception judging by your letter. I also require the address ofyour local TSO, (that’s Trading Standards Office, being a solicitor you would know that), also the watchdog address would be useful if you don’t mind. Now I state MY terms: - this is what WILL happen, unlike your “intentions”:- You have 14 days beginning with the date this letter is served to reply. You will reply stating :- a)You will not be pursuing any “alleged debt” b)You have passed “alleged debt” to “client” c)You provide information I require to submit defence d)You retreat to a corner and stamp your feet e)You agree to be invoiced at £19 per hour of my time Any other correspondence from yourself will be treated as harassment under statute law, (which you are aware of being a solicitor. Only reply if you agree to my T + C’s.) I really look forward to your reply. Mr Coyls I've heard nothing back since.

Sound advice :-

sorry, didn't realise the contract still stands even if the goods were returned.

Very easy solution - give goods back and use money for important bills and put food on table (the money you didn't have spare when you bought the goods)

Slightly different matter but same "solicitors". I recieved a letter from these (i can post up the letter if required), so rather than worrying, appealing or losing sleep, i sent the following back to them, i've heard nothing back since.
