    Well I believe that may cause them some real problems but I am not an expert on that.

    One question, when RBS sold the debt- who did they sell it too. I know mine were sold to Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd even though other 'bits' of cabot have written to me about it.

    If not, personally I would do nothing at the moment. If it is a letter of claim, maybe you need to do something
    Good Morning Warwick,
    It's a letter that basically asks me to visit thier website and either pay money or send them a message or both. There are no forms or anything with the letter.

    Looking back through my letters, the letter from Mortimer Clarke was an LBA I didn't realise it at the time. There is a sheet titled "Letter of Claim details" and a few sheets with tick boxes. So, what to do next? In my defence, the letters have been sent to my mum's address, who I do not see that often. I was living there for a bit earlier in the year. Don't have a clue how they got that address!

    I would have thought that if they had indeed sent a Letter Before Claim, it would have been abundantly clear so the OP could have taken appropriate action. Unless they intend to argue their 'vague threat' constituted a valid LBC.

    I was about to ask the same question. I had a quick look back at the history, and the OP said it was a "vague threat" from MC. The new Protocols require that a formal Letter Before Action, enclosing the 4-page questionnaire and a I&E form, is sent before a claim is issued.
