    Default Update on PCN

    I've duly ignored correspondence from Town and City and now have a new letter from a debt collectionicon agency.

    I know the general advice has changed over recent months from standard replies, to simply "ignore".

    I have 2 questions.

    - does the "ignore" advice apply to debt recovery agencies too? I do want to write to say that I deny the debt exists.

    - if I ignore it, could it count against me if (yes, I know, almost unheard of, but I want to know the answer anyway) it was taken to court.

    Thanks as ever to contributors

    Yep.

    Carry on ignoring. debt collectorsicon have no powers whatsoever to collect anything, or take you to court, or interfere with your credit rating. If they claim to be able to do so, they're lying.

    Thanks

    My solicitor-friend advises sending a single letter denying the claim and ignoring all future correspondence. I'm tempted to do that, even if it means opening more letters (they can write until they have run out of stamps as far as I'm concerned)

    The "debt collectoricon" is probably the same person who sent the original "invoice", sitting at the same desk in the same office. All he has really done is change the letterheaded paper in the printer!
