have you read up on their tactics here? if you ahd you would see that we recommend responding to the LBA but dont use their forms.

Now you need to respond in a forthright manner stating that

"there is no monies owed as there was no breach of contract as the supposed breach is a matter of prohibition and not an offer of a contract in the first place. Clearly their clients have been misled by the idiots at the IPC over this when the signage was approved by them but anyone who has done A level law will know the difference so you should tell your client to stop wasting their time and money on an action that is doomed to fail."

that will do, they will ether slink away or try their luck and hope you wet yourself and pay up when you get the court claim. When you respiond to that they normally drop the matter to save money and go and bother someone else.

Hi Ericsbrother, sorry, not sure.

I've read lots on here, but do you have a link?

How should I reply email?

Phone?

I'm not sure where your quote ends.

You say 'Clearly their clients' I'm guessing I shouldn't say that bit?

I've not done A level law, so sorry if I'm missing the obvious!

you are writing to them everything I have put in the quotation marks simple as that

you write a letter, never email and never ever ever phone these bandits. phone calls arent part of any procedure so you dotn even answer it if they phone you.

the point about a level law is you are writing to some rogue solicitors who have law degrees but wnat to trot out rubbish anyone who has doen a level will now is wrong. it is just an insult aimed at them becuase Will and John at Gladstones are the IPC in another dress.

read more than just your thread and you will have known this

 

'Clearly their clients' I'm guessing I shouldn't say that bit?

 

Just amend it to "Clearly your clients"

Did anything further happen on this?

I should add that, due to moving home, we've only recently received the (second?) Letter before Claim (sent 28th Jan). They're saying we need to reply by 11th February (4 days).

Thanks

And they'll do what if you don't???

Why..its 2yrs old and of no relevence to your ppc thread

They say any reply received after this date may not be considered as legal proceedings are likely to have been issued.

I'm thinking I should maybe reply on their website that the 'evidence' doesn't show the whole windscreen, which the solicitors may not be aware of?

TIA

Just trying to read up on stuff, as suggested by Ericsbrother.

If it's not relevant, that's fine, but it seems difficult to track down a relevant case to read up on.

Thanks

posts moved to your own thread.

all letters come from the same printer...they are quite aware.

have you replied as post 27?

Sorry, delete my superfluous posts if you like.

No, not replied yet.

Need to go to bed.

Do I need to get it there by the 11th do you think?

Proof of delivery needed?

Definitely can't use their website?

I'm loath to spend any money on this. (Apart from donations to you guys).

use royal mail and a 1st class stamp!!

you can get free proof of posting at any PO counter.

there is no monies owed as there was no breach of contract as the supposed breach is a matter of prohibition and not an offer of a contract in the first place.

Clearly your clients have been misled by the idiots at the IPC over this when the signage was approved by them

but anyone who has done A level law will know the difference

so you should tell your client to stop wasting their time and money on an action that is doomed to fail.

Ok then!

Can I mention the crap photo?

no not yet

My printer has decided not to work! I'll have to take a trip to the library.

Why do you recommend writing rather than use their website? Sorry if I've missed it somewhere.

why do we say anything at all?

because we have been there hudreds of times before and know what works best and what comes back to bite your backside.

Write a letter and stop trying to find a lazy way out of this. I own a pen so you can write and then photocopy the letter, that works as well as printing it on a computer.

Do you realise that if you pay up that in law that may not be the end of it so better to put a bit of effort in now than complaining about it afterwards.

ok.

They do state that "A version of the Information Sheet and Reply Form taken from the Pre Action Protocol for Debt Claims can be completed". Will my letter be acceptable?

Thanks

Get on with it!!!!

Stop pontificating

Sent. Thanks guys.

We've now had a 'Claim Form' from the County Court for £244.

I guess you're familiar with the options they give us.

Any suggestions how to respond, or do you need more info from me?

Thanks again

please complete the above

so details of the particulars of claim please and  then  you open an account with moneyclaim online and tick the box saying you intend to defend in full. you then have the best part of a month to write and submit your outline defence. We will help you with that.

these bandits are hoping you will wet yourself and pay up without them having to go to the expense of actually going to court. they rarely win a properly defended claim and normally throw in the towel just before the hearing to avoid further costs.
