If you ignore
Do this
Sorted’s rule: we never tell anyone to ignore a court letter, a bailiff Notice of Enforcement, or anything from HMRC. Some letters are genuinely lower-risk if you understand them — this tool is the calm explanation, not advice to bin anything. For anything serious, the safest action is always to decode it properly first.
