As I'm full time at university I am poor. I cannot afford to give anyone £700. Today I had to pay my accommodation rent which has left me with pennies to spare.

Ok. Thank you for your help. For them moment though what should I do as since this letter I received a phone call from the crs people on an unknown number asking me what I want to do and a day later I received a text saying to call them urgently. So what should I email them saying? I'm only 20 which yes makes me an adult but I don't understand any of this stuff.

And surely I would have noticed a shattered window ?

They wrote " should this matter proceed to court they will be entitled to include the loss incurred whilst try weren't able to rent out the room during repairs." They added "our clients staff will provide witness statements along with incident reports and cleaning logs confirming the" damage was not present prior to your booking I the matter progresses to court. They will also sign a statement of truth stating that the contents of their statement are accurate and true" Travelodge are claiming that the cleaning staff discovered that the inside window was shattered when the went in to check it after we left. I didn't do this and how do I know it wasn't the cleaning staff that did it

Hi all me and my gf booked a room at travelodge(in my name). I receive a letter from civil recovery solutions stating that travelodge are claiming for a damaged window and asking whether I wanted to pay or dispute the claim. Neither my gf or I broke the window or noticed any damage to it emailed them saying I didn't do it. Over a month later they finally got back to me saying the claim had now increased to 700ish. An Invice for the cost to repair the window was attached. In this new letter they are saying again do I wish to pay or dispute it however if I dispute it they will take me to court and also add charges for the amount of money they lost from not being able to rent the room out I am a full time uni student. I cannot afford this let alone risk loosing in court and having the claim go up. I have exams in a few weeks and the stress of this has completely disrupted my revision What are my options ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
