That's what I've been trying to say - they're tightening the screws.
What you can do is:
1. Be very polite
2. Plead with them
3. If they die-die don't wanna back off, tell them to issue the summons*
*It is very troublesome (a lot of paperwork) to issue a summons and they may be disinclined to do it so if they see that you're not biting on the "coffee money" bait, they may just let you off instead.
