What does this mean?
I Have tried to email at not avail as they have not contact me back despite emailling twice.
I have left a message on the answer machine.
I thought that it meant a letter has gone out and if it end up at court you will have to pay the costs up front. But for now it is left to see what the defendant does. Why do they not reply?

Yes so what is the initial fee, what IS this letter saying?
2007-10-13 09:46:52 · update #2
Briefly it is telling you that they will issue a summons against the defendant on you paying the mentioned fee. in issuing the summons they will add 8% interest from the day the debt became payable. So the defendant would have to pay the debt plus 8% interest to you if you win. They are also telling you that the fees you have to pay can be paid "On line" so you don't have to go to the court to pay the fee.

If you have not put in an application in small claims court to sue someone then it is a fraudulent E-mail that you should just ignore. Many sick & cruel people out there send out fake lottery winning notices or some other kind of thing that tells you that you have to pay so much by a certain time so that you can get so much money. If someone else has filed a small claims case against you then you would've been notified by certified mail & not by E-mail. I'm also pretty sure that even if you did file for a small claims case yourself then they would've most likely notified you by mail or phone call but not by E-mail. I think your best bet is to just ignore this & no matter what do not give anyone any money unless you get a certified court order to do so by regular mail. If they start asking you for any of your personal information I would ask them to send you a court ordered document showing roof of this case before you give them any of your personal information. These people can also steal your identity along with any bank accounts once you give them enough of your personal information.

The figures are all wrong for the Small Claims Court and they don't as far as I am aware send emails. The initial Court costs are £80 to file a claim up to £1000. I think this could be a scam. Contact the Court as soon as possible.

If you've put in a small claims action whether online or in person, then they will not usually begin any proceedings unless the initial fee has been paid.
You will get it back should you win your case.

Unless you actually filed a Small Claims court action (AND gave them you email address), it's a SCAM.
(NB Even if you have filed a claim, the wording looks like a scam ..)
