Thanks for the advice guys, i'll let you know if I hear anything else from them.

Thanks for the reply. So am I right in thinking that there's no chance of baliffs/debt collectors knocking on my door unless they win in court?

Hi, I've been receiving letters from Car Parking Partnership for a few months asking for payment of £80 for my vehicle being parked in a university staff car park. I was told by many people that private companies don't have a lot of power and it's often best to ignore their threats. Today I received a letter from Industrial Credit asking for £96 within 7 days and failure to do so will result in immediate issue of legal procedings. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on what to do in this situation. Thanks.
