No need - standard junk from Graham White. If this is the second GW letter then it may well be their last throw of the dice.

 

Question: How many "Final Warnings" (don't forget the previous Roxburghe stuff) have you received ?

 

Don't you think its strange they keep saying - "Well thats it - we really, really mean it this time" only for that to be followed up by another "No, we do really mean it this time".

 

If I were to take you to court for a £100 debt (based on the assumption I had a sound legal reason to do so) I can tell you I wound't be sending letters out suggesting all manner of terrible things will happen to make you worried and pay. All I would do is say "As you have failed to pay, payment is required by the 31st December 2009 or legal action will be taken". Thats it - nothing else need be said - if you don't pay as requested I'd take legal action through the Small Claims.

 

A real debt isn't chased with all this huff and puff to "scare" you into paying.

 

....of course if I didn't have any sound legal reason to take legal action to claim the £100 all I can do is beg you to pay !

 

Any more wine for you to go try ?

So why haven't they taken you to court then?

Answer, simple they haven't got a hope in hell of winning.

Standard bluff from the ppc, safe to continue ignoring.

First thing.....STOP CONTACTING them.

Now ignore all the rubbish they will send you and get on with your life, you have far more important things to worry about. There, stress sorted.

Morning

am back again, sorry to bother you all, but, is there a time scale on how long they should bug you for?? I've never been in contact with them yet they keep ringing the house and leaving messages on answer machine to get in touch with them as a matter of urgency, they even disclosed who they were and the fact they had sent a so called letter out in march to my partner the other day, all he did was ask who was calling.

 

thanks

[lamma]

They try longer with people who have taken the bait and been in contact. Just let them waste their time and money in calling you. Is ignoring a [EDIT] that hard.

So an unproven and unsubstantiated debt to them is a matter of 'urgency', imagine what a life or death situation would be classed as, just ignore the clowns they will get the message eventually and go and pick on someone else.

Phonecalls are designed to create fear. As soon as you realise you are the one with the power, it becomes quite fun.

 

When they call, put them on hold, phone a takeway on your mobile and then hold the two phones together!

Normal progression of their junk mail Abi82. Add it to your pile with the rest of their stuff and carry on living.

Nice to see the letters have lost their urgency, as advised carry on ignoring, sounds like a film!

[Abi82]

hi there (again) just pain in bottom me (again!) another letter received this morning from "ethical debt recovery services" stating " we have been instructed by the above client (LDK Security Group Ltd) that the above civil parking charge notice hasnt been paid and no valid dispute made. therefore we have been instructed to commence recovery procedures against you.

we have gained your details from our client, in line with terms and conditions of the above site, you have incurred late payment charges which are included in the amount (£140)

Full payment of the above amount is hereby demanded within 7 days of this notice to prevent further recovery procedure commencing."

 

Ticket was allegedly dated : 20.07.2009 -

 

advice would be great please

 

Abi82xx

 

(oh merry xmas and keep up the good work xx)

 

ooo and just noticed re reading post it was alleged ticket was dated 20.07.09 @ 9.51 for an expired ticket. this new letter states " no ticket"

So nearly 18 months later after letters and phone calls from LDK, Roxburghe, Graham White and now Ethical Debt, they still

haven't issued the threatened court claim. Why ever not........ could it possibly be that they aren't too confident of their 'rock solid' case?

Keep ignoring.

[Abi82]

Thank you, do they have time limits on this type of thing x

[Michael Browne]

6 years...roll on July 2015:lol:

[letshelp]

As MIchael has stated, if they were going to issue proceedings they would have done it well before now. Anyway, now you have some emergency toilet paper if required.

regards

[Abi82]

oooo thanks x

another letter arrived today - i know i should ignore and trust what you all say......just after reassurance i think cos this letter has bothered me a little:

Despite previous correspondance you have failed to make payment or satisfactory grounds of appeal to the above arrears (which is now £160) which remains outstanding, therefore you have left us with no option but to carry out full recovery procedures which you may incur additional charges.

 

OUR RECOVERY AGENTS HAVE NOW BEEN GRANTED APPROVAL TO COMMENCE RECOVERY PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT FURTHER WARNING

 

You have 7 days from date on this notice to pay all outstanding amounts in full to prevent further action.

 

Date on letter is 16.02.2011 and letter isnt even signed

[dbcc33]

from what i have read the people that are telling you to ignore it are right--if its not from the local authority(council) or police, im pretty sure its not legal! theres some info on Martin's moneysavingexpert page about this.

The names these clowns think up to frighten people is pathetic. By recovery agents they mean the tea boy 3 desks down. IGNORE, and if you are ever feeling sad read over all their letters to give yourself a good laugh.
