I’ve had no luck whatsoever, Paul – simply because I haven’t had a letter from Davenport Lyons to reply to!

This is really great info thanks! I got one of these letters a few days ago! Argh!

So if I send off the above and they decide to still pursue me would it really just be the original £500 odd they could pursue me for? If I send the above does that not effectively mean I am refusing the “one off” payment offer and open myself up to legal costs and potential higher charges in court?

No problems, Debs.

Just be aware that Davenport Lyons are responding to these letters with the claim that the evidence is ‘exempt’ from the Data Protection Act. This is, to say the least, specious – just stick to your guns and they’ll give up bothering you eventually.
