( live in Oxfordshire) for November,

do I get solicitors or go on my own ,

they estimate the claim to be £15,000 to £50,000

where do they get their figures from .

As with all other posts, same old same old, Mr X and Mr Y, £3000 fees not explained

but would get £500 back etc etc business overvalued NO viewings. I

I get solicitor and they drop out I still have 10,000 ish of legal fees help help help!

Please pass on thos message to others concerned like a chain letter

Hi I am shortly to be taken to court November 2013 and do I get a solicitor?

Or go it alone ,

I am typical ie they want varying amounts of money, £3000 up to £100,000 ( probably a typo but I have it in writing) had treats,

bailiff phone calls

all I have paid was the upfront £ 600 ,

are they just intimidating me or with claim value of 15,000-50,000,

or should I settle ( for rudeness, intimidation, overvaluation, for nothing) this company did nothing yet want thousands

Hi,

we have been misled by Mr X and Mr Z

in may 2011 they came and visited us

( after being cold called that they had buyers waiting)

we were signed up and paid £500 marketing fee,

this would be return upon sale or cancellation ,

this was stressed so thought ok that sounds safe!

The valuation was inflated 1.1 M

but were told realistic they had buyers for this type of business waiting,

we had improved the business and turnover since we had been there.

The guys left us their business cards and to call with any questions or concerns,

we tried but got no replies from emails or phone calls ,

emailed saying we would cancel if did not hear back ASAP as were very concerned.

Only then did we get the smooth talking guys saying everything was fine etc etc.

The advert went live ,

photos not on correct orientation

and we were more concerned

phoned to cancel to be told that there was a £3000 cancellation fee etc etc a

s per all other reports read,

we had threats, rudeness, incorrect ( we assume) invoices for their fees of £100,000 yes really and £6000 £11,000 plus vat ,

we had debt collectors phoning me for money before the invoice even due!

We sought advice of a solicitor friend, and have or we thought called their bluff,

now we have received a claim form from Northamptonshire county court!

They are of course accruing interest on this claim!

It is amazing everything goes quiet for 6 months and you think it is all over then BAM!

A claim for north of £15,000

Help what do I do ,

the T& C 's on their agreement flip you back and forth between clauses in very small print.

But yes you would get your marketing fee back but you have to pay excessive amounts to do so!

I would appreciate any help I can get on this

Ie will they take me to court or are they just using bully tactics?

Do I get a solicitor involved?

Would they pay my costs if I win?

If I lost I would have to pay out about £25k to Phoenix and solicitor

Can I represent myself?

How would I do that ?

I am just a key person

Regards oh dear

Just looked through my wad of letters from phoenix

They have invoiced me for £11,000 plus vat ( which plus interest is £15,000+)

In the past have been invoiced for £22,000

So all quite confusing

They also sent me a letter saying that they would terminate the agreement unless I submitted an EPC

We were never asked to provide one in the first instance

Is that legal?

so what happened?
