no reply from Legal and Trade

Hi, sent legal and trade a letter on 18 april, in reply to their 'notice of formal proceedings letter, saying that we are experiencing financial difficulties and can afford to pay £10.00 a month to pay off the dept (DVLA- late licence penalty) as fine now gone up to £80, still heard nothing.

What should be our next move?

Would be nice to get a reply, as worried the dept will grow and grow, was only for £40 at the beginning, but we lost the letter and called them it was a automated machine, but could not pay it as had no details. Help, thanks karen

Update- now received letter from legal & trade 'Notice of payment default' 'our records show that no payment has been received and therefore you have defaulted on your repayment arrangement. We must inform you that as a result payment in full of £80.00 is now due, or if unable to to clear the balance contact by phone us immediately. Failure to make contact will result in us continueing with formal recovery action as agreed with our client. Blah blah, failure to pay may result in court proceedings or the clamping and removal of the above vehicle.'

 

No mention of my letter saying offering £10.00 a month, have a job clamping and removing the car as its been scrapped.lol

 

SO what action,

 

1/ pay them £10.00 on the bank giro slip attached and write and tell them have paid one instalment

 

2/ or other action

 

thanks in advance karen
