Damage due to corporate negligence

[Conniff]

You should write recorded delivery requesting payment within 21 days and if that is not forthcoming then send them a letter before action.

Don't bother with the letter before action if your not willing to go to court though.

Thanks for the click.

 

They can't be thinking you are trying to rip them off with a bill for only £115.

 

An LBA is a warning that this is the last request for payment and that you will file your claim in court if they don't pay. That will, of course, cost them more as they will have to pay your fee as well.

 

It's not expensive to issue a small claims for the amount of your bill, £30 if you do it in court and £20 if you do it online.

 

Online is easier (if it gets that far) and you can have a read here:

Here is a very similar story to yours, have a read and take some hints from it.

My pleasure babe. Always do things in writing and by recorded delivery as that way you have a paper trail if things should get difficult.

 

If you need help tracking down the head office of the rink then it is ok to post their name. Posting links to commercial sites is frowned on if it is for commercial purposes or to attract customers.
