Hey Locky94,

 

Really glad someone picked up this thread and I have the opportunity to pass this wisdom onto someone else!

 

In the end we had several letters but we followed the advice on this forum down to the letter and we never heard from them again! I think it was after 2/3 letters from them that we wrote to them and said we 'denied liability to their clients', and then we never heard from them again.

 

Don't cave- be strong!

Thanks for the quick reply, As i'm a student i don't have 150 at hand. So i was worrying. When should i send the letter saying that i deny liability to their clients? After they send another one?

 

Thanks for the help, Really is grateful

Hi again- have a look back over this thread (thats where i found the advice)- but im pretty sure we put: To DWF, ref you letter dated [whenever they sent you the letter] I deny any liability to you or your client, Yours Sincerely, [your name]. Something like that. But yep wait for 2nd of 3rd letter. and dont sweat it

Thank you HoneyBee

 

And ScarletPimpernel, this is the 3rd letter i have just received today

Dear Sirs,

 

Our Client: Sainsbury's Supermarkets Limited

Should payment not be made during the course of the next 7 days we will consider commencing Court Proceedings to recover the sum outstanding.

- A bailiff may attend your house to remove goods to the value owed

- We may seek a Court order deducting monies from your earnings with your employer

 

If you pay now:

We await your payment or response during the course of the next 7 days.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

DWF'

I see that DWF appear to have forgotten that they'd need to win a court case before any of the things they threaten can happen. If they were attempting to collect a legitimate debt their letter would breach OFT Guidance, but as no real debt exists it's clearly just an attempt to mislead.

 

Personally, I'd send a simple letter:

 

Dear Sirs

 

I refer to your recent correspondence. Any liability to you or your client is denied.

 

Yours etc.,

 

... and then ignore them.

 

You could also just continue to ignore them. There is always a possibility, however remote, that a court claim could be brought, and the letter will show a judge that you have made your position clear, whilst ignoring them may show a reluctance to deal with the matter.

I would suggest you send the letter either by Recorded delivery or at the very least obtain a Free proof of posting from the post office. That way you have proof that the letter has indeed been sent.

Ahhh okay, Thanks for all this help. Really am grateful.

 

Hi Locky94,

 

Initially, apologies for reviving an old thread.

 

My wife has recently found herself in a similar situation and I was wondering if you were successful with your efforts following the advice received in this thread.

Hi Red DD

 

I think that if Locky94 was still experiencing any problems then there would be more posts here

 

Have a read of all of the RLP threads and then create your own thread if you need support

 

RLP do operate a bullying business model with no legal basis and cannot take legal action against anyone. Your wife should certainly not return any of the forms that they might send, the only communication worthwhile is the one-liner denying any liability, and even with that, not by registered post (get a free certificate of posting from the post office)
