Fake Summons

    Are solicitors allowed to send a document that purports to be a summons to a debtor as a frightener to get them to pay up?

    The reason I ask is my friend received what appeared to be a civil summons form a solicitor. The summons was not stamped, not signed by a district court clerk and not even dated. After making enquiries at the local DC office it appears that there is no record of any application being made to the DC for a summons.

    Is this practice common? I assume that it is illegal to issue such documents that look like real legal papers in an effort to frighten someone?

    Opinions please.

    I am not looking for legal advice and any responses received will not be construed as legal advice.
