It is too late to do anything now. You wasted your money on a useless recorded delivery which, unless you have a signature showing that it was signed for, then all you have is proof it was never delivered. Lear from this for any future requirement to send information to someone!
As for the PCN, you will now have to go through the process of weathering the useless debt recovery letters. Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.
Eventually, you will receive a Letter of Claim (LoC). When you do, come back and we will advise on how to respond.
In due course, a county court claim will be issued and we will provide a defence that can be used. The most likely outcome is that the claim will be struck out or discontinued. You can expect this conclude in about 9-12+ months.
Follow the advice, and you won't be paying a penny to the vexatious excrement that is known as VCS,
Received a letter on aug 20
Could you please show us the rest of the letter (assuming there's something on the back of the page you have showed us already)?
I think the back was just "ways to pay" etc. I remember skipping it.
I'll recheck though.
Hi
Here is rear of letter.

Hi
So would this be the letter of claim ?
Although they say it's "letter before claim". Any action I need to take or ignore it ?

Same thing, also called “letter before action”.
Do not ignore, you will need to reply in due course.
Wait for advice per
Reply #15 above.
So what should my reply to this letter include then ? Something similar to the great template given by b789 ?
Thanks
Dave
