Registered post and Signed For are different. Signed For is just that - it goes in the regular sytem, for £1.50 on top of ordinary price, and you get proof of posting when you hand it in at the Post Office, and proof of delivery is then available on the Royal Mail website using the tracking number they give you (once it has been delivered!). Registered - as was years ago - is now Special Delivery; this is another £5 or so, and besides the record at each end it goes in a separate postal stream and its progress is tracked en route. And it has a next day guarantee, whilst Signed For just gets there at whatever time it would have got there anyway. So the SD one gives greater security that it will get there, and that it'll get there quickly; for legally sensitive documents where time is critical, I'd be tempted to use SD rather than just Signed For.

ask them if they have a record of getting your letter, if they say no - ask if you can send it again. If they say that won't help send an amended version of it again. Send it registered post or signed for or whatever it is called so you can track that they got it.
If they say they did get it, ask them why they did not reply to say they had decided to commence court action.
