So, I received this email the other day. Obviously a last ditch attempt to make us panic and pay up. The fact is, this is my elderly Mother's ticket and she's panicking at the idea of going to court. I've told her it won't come to that but she's still considering paying. If it were me, I wouldn't think twice and tell them where to go. I've read other cases on here where they have finally backed down. Can we be certain that it will be dropped before it goes any further?
