[Disheartened_Consumer]

Same boat - 3rd letter and awaiting their rath!

[samjf]

I wonder if anyone has had a 4th letter from them ???

[Disheartened_Consumer]

I believe that they begin telephone contact

[samjf]

I am wondering if I should reply to the letter with a copy of the receipts, or just leave it and see what happens.

[Guest kikboy]

HI all - yes I would like to know also if anyone has received a 4th letter yet?

 

Martin/Joncris do we have a copy of the process that RLP go through yet and also have we go a set of templates to respond to them?

 

If not then I would be happy to draft some up.....

[MARTIN3030]

They use their reference numbers in part to reconcile where they are ...hence TS/L3 would refer to 3rd letter concerning Tkmaxx.

We do know that they have re-kindled their dealings with JB debt recoveries in Scotland who they have used in the past.It would seem CAGS focus on RLPs activities,together with a challenge to JB - did in some part see a halt to this.

RLP see those who do respond to their letters,as an incentive to continue their threats.

If they are going to litigate,then lets see them.

On the issue of a summons,the defendant will then simply need to make a request for full disclosure-something that RLP have so far shown to be extremely evasive in doing.

I noticed also that their third letter now also includes a line that the "Debt" will continue to accrue interest at 8% p.a.

So now we see that they are admitting that the money they are demanding IS a debt-in contrast to their denials previously that it wasnt a debt but a civil recovery damages fee.

 

They also need reminding that section 69 interest is awarded at the discretion of the Court-they have no right to assume its an automatic top up of their imaginary fee schedule.

[samjf]

Hi Martin. My 3rd letter does not mention the word "Debt" Shall I PM letter to you, or put on here leaving out my details.

[MARTIN3030]

Yes good idea-feel free.

[samjf]

Just thought I would share my 3rd Letter from RLP.

 

Having considered all the information provided by you, we would inform you it has no legal basis as a defence to our client's claim and does not extinguish your liability, nor does it negate the fact that our client has suffered loss as a result of your wrongful Actions.

 

We take this opportunity to advise you that we are not prepared to enter into any further corresponance on any of the points you have raised thus far as we have already addressed the issues raised which have a legal basis.

 

Should this case proceed to the civil court and we have to issue a claim for Summary Judgment, based on the fact your defence has no legal basis and therefore no likelihood of success, we shall add the costs incurred onto the amount claimed from you which will increase the amount outstanding considerably.

 

Our client is fully prepared to issue court proceedings in this matter to recover the full amount of their claim plus court fees, other allowable legal costs and all interest which has been accruing on a daily basis at a rate of 8% per annum. The total claimed will significantly exceed the amount outstanding shown above.

 

They then go on with my payment options within 21 days.

 

Who are they to say my case has no likelihood of success..

[MARTIN3030]

Yes it appears they have another letter that they send out in reply to anyone disputing their fees/actions.

Its more or less the same as the ones I have seen by letter 3.

I wonder if their client IS really prepared to issue Court proceedings ?

Actually if its THEIR CLIENT who is going to issue any proceedings then it would be in non compliance of pre-action protocols-since they have had absolutely NO contact with you -am I right ?

[samjf]

Not heard a thing from them..

[MARTIN3030]

I think they should be told that if its their clients who are so determined to be talking of proceedings,then it is THEM who should be dealing with this from the beginning.

They wont of course agree

[JonCris]

I suggest writing to THEIR client including a copy of the RLP letter imposing a requirement on THEIR client to bring legal proceedings against you - I bet they will be chuffed cos to make such a definitive threat, as they have when they must know it's unlikely under the circumstances in the pursuit of money, could be construed as attempted fraud under the 2006 Act

[MARTIN3030]

[samjf]

Should I write a letter to TK Maxx or RLP, or just wait to see if they send a 4th letter.

[MARTIN3030]

I personally would resist any attempts.

I think theres a big gap for letter 4........

Unless of course they are revising schedules after knowing we are onto their existing ones.

But as JC points out it would be VERY interesting to see just how TK would respond.

I dont hold my breath seeing as TK appear to be the most RLP friendly of all the retailers we have seen so far.

[MARTIN3030]

What do you reckon Scarlet ?

[MARTIN3030]

Actually I have thought of something.....Maybe we could offer to draft a letter No4 up for them ? and add some more inventive stuff .....a sort of mixture of letters 1-3 with a few more things thrown in-We could then ask Notts Trading Standards if it meets with their approval ?

And offer JB debt collections a discount if they take 50 letters at a time ?

[ScarletPimpernel]

I have sent hasteners to both ACPO and Notts Trading Standards about RLP - neither have bothered to respond - so far.

 

I suspect that if their 'claim for losses/damages' were legitimate, they'd go to court quite quickly. One can only wonder why they seem to be reluctant.

[MARTIN3030]

Yes-its very extraordinary given the tone of their letters.
