Final Demand
« on: May 17, 2007, 06:35:38 pm »
Guy's I'm owed a few pennie's from a certain welsh cleaning company, and I'm buggered if I'm going to let them get away with it,

Its not a lot but its the principle of it, I don't like working for a day and half for free.

I have now sent them 2 invoices and phoned them twice and each time they said they would post it.

I hate liars and I have now had enough,  if it was left up to me, I would drive to wales and collect it in person, but the Boss said 'do it properly you divvy' :o

Do any of you guy's have a letter of a final demand I could shove send to them? I won't hessitate to  take them to  court, so anything with words like that in it would be splendid ;D

Hello Jeff,

I have a template letter called letter before action gives them 7 days to resolve the issue otherwise you take court action.

Let me know if that can be of any help.

Sorry Mark I did do a post with the results on it.

After sending the final demand to the company, within 2 days I had a cheque land on my matt :o ;D

I recon they were hanging on as long as possible or hoping I would just forget about it.

Dear XXXXXXXXX

Re: Outstanding Account.

Despite several telephone calls and letters sent to you, your account still remains unpaid.

In view of this situation we are left no alternative but to hand this account over to our legal department who will now persue this matter through the County Court.

Please be advised that we will also be instructing our legal department to recover all costs incurred as well as the interest due on your account.

To avoid any further action or costs please send your remittance by return post for the amount of £XXX

Please do NOT ignore this letter.

Yours sincerely,



XXXXXXXXXX
For and on behalf of XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

cc. Mr Thomas Atlore - Barrington Headly Solicitors


___________________________________________________________________________

Make sure you send this letter recorded delivery as then you have proof it was received.

Also prepare a dialog account detailing telephone calls made - outcome, letters sent (dates - outcome) This is vital to your success in court as you need to present a comprehensive case and prove to the judge you have taken all reasonable steps to resolve this matter. It is very rare to lose a case when you follow this format as even if they say the work was not good enough etc... they also have to answer as to why this was not reported back to you and why they ingnore all your calls and letters.

Judges are not stupid, they know the score in this matter and are always aware of the tricks companies play to avoid payment.

In reality the company is probably hoping you will go away and forget about it and put it down to lifes experience whilst they walk away rubbing their hands together. Most claimants are too scared or can't be bothered to persue the matter through legal channels. Don't let this phase you, take the action. There are lots of solicitors who will act on a no win no fee basis which is better for you as they leave no stone unturned in their persuit to recover your money!

Good luck
