Ultimately, IMO, people just don't have the time to fight. But
if provided with a free recourse system that was made abundantly
clear from the offset, with the option of triage to weed out the
no hopes, and if that was regulated to make sure it was clear on
every single PCN, that's the only way more would be encouraged.

Sadly this is true, especially in the case of private invoices.
If I add up the time used to bring a recent DCBL saga to a close
it's along the lines of:
- Informal appeal 30m
- POPLA appeal 60m
- Filing and ignoring 8 DCBL threats - 8m
- Initial response to court filing - 30m
- Understanding , drafting and filing full defence - 180m
- Being on hold to CNBC - 45m
- Tidying up (confirmation of discontinuance, removal of data
request) - 20m
Total: almost 5 hours
If I consider the original invoice was for £40, I am effectively
working for about £8 an hour. I would do better to pay the
invoice and do a half day shift at McDonald's.
There really should be some kind of financial jeopardy for the
PPC/agent.
Personally for me the principle is worth more than the
time/money, so I will always fight. But if I was more
pragmatic, as most normal people are, I would probably have to
conclude that it's not worth fighting the whole way.

Surely we should target the whole of the UK rather than just
London specifically?

It is in the text. I will do another one tomorrow before I fly
back. It has been a hectic break.

Was the queue at the High Street kebab shop that long that it
was quicker to go to Greece to get one??

Hey Roy. No pun intended; but, it was a busman's holiday for the
most part! Violin + cases + appeals. :) Some swimming, sunning
et al.

There's two of us, but I'm not sure how keen
