ransom letter
« on: 14 June 2012, 16:14:41 »
had a ransom letter through today saying that if I didn't pay £121 or £220 my car would be towed away and crushed and they gave me until 30/6/12 to do it.

now do I report it as a threat against my property or should I pay up?

what would you do? :)

Don't pay. You can get another omega for less than that.

It is either off road under SORN or it is on road - if on road then pay up. If off road do a SORN

Is it taxed?

If not, I believe they have the right to enter your property and take it...
