Have I made a mistake putting my head in the sand? Wish I'd just paid the bugger now
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ignoring the fake PCN is still a perfectly legit option. I have ignored 2 fake PCNs myself (pre POF Act but would do so again if too busy to do the POPLA thing) and I have advised personal friends to ignore fake PCNs (even those issued since October) for an easy life, as long as they don't PANIC when they get the usual threatograms...
So...don't panic when you are just getting the usual threatograms!
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2329119We tell people this every flippin' day right now - there are ENDLESS threads on here with people who've chosen to ignore but later, wobble at some random Debt Recovery Plus piece of crap. What is it about the latest templates that's so scary, I don't geddit?
Look at the repeated replies I linked in my reply to this thread as every other thread at the moment seems to be the same:

You are more likely to win a fortune on the lottery than for a PPC to actually try a small claim. And a PPC trying a very rare small claim DOES NOT mean the PPC would win. They'd give up when they see a pepipoo defence, just like the case mentioned on the forum today (
East Kent Hospitals). Threw in the towel of course.
