You've done too much already. It's a [problem].

 

• do not pay

• do not contact them again

• ignore any threatening junkmail or phonecalls

• they will give up and go away

 

Usually it's us that say "see you in court"! They never do though - they're bluffing and do not have a legal leg to stand on.

 

Relax and don't worry.

 

I'd be surprised if they're threatening to clamp the car. That would be highly unlawful.

thanks for that after re reading the letter it says the will take me to court and ask the court to enforce the debt by instructing a bailiff to wheel clamp and remove the above named vehicle or and any car registerd to me and held until the fine is paid just abit worrying?

It is not s "fine", it's an unenforceable invoice.

Before a bailiff can be instructed all the following has to happen:

 

1 They take you to court.

2 They win.

3 You still refuse to pay.

 

It's all scare tactics. Ignore them.

read the letter again. does it say 'will' or does it say 'may' ? By writing to them they think you may pay up as you fell for their [problem] by being sucked in. put all their letters in the drawer and leave them there. there will probably be more letters trying to scare you into paying, stick them in the same drawer.
