DPD letter before action

[PPP123]

thank you, i have requested a call from the accountant

[BankFodder]

Great, maybe you can let us know the answer. It will be useful information

[dx100uk]

when/if a real claim is issued, NOT a form which anyone can download a blank of and fill in!! - it will come from the COURT not the fleecers.

it will be a large brown windowed envelope from either northants bulk court or salford bulk court.and will contain a pack if reply forms too.

sent to frighten you.

just spoke to the accountant.

The formal closure will take 3-4 months, by that time ill either be done and dusted in court or stll playing ping pong with threatening letters. 

 

If it didn't get to court and the debt was still outstanding, we issue a formal application to companies house stating we are closing. They then advertise in the gazette so anyone who we owe debts too can object at this point, 

if they do not object then the business closes and nothing will need to be paid back. 

I hope this helps anyone else in this position. 

 

thank you dx100uk

And if in the meantime they issue proceedings, then presumably they can object to the dissolution of your company. This then puts pressure on you either to pay the sum claimed in order to get rid of the problem – or to go with it and to put in your counterclaim.

[PPP123]

I will absolutly fight and counterclaim if needed. So I will sit tight and await their next move.

Hi everyone

Any advice on this would certainly be appriciated

Hi Everyone

 

I am about to start a journey on counterclaiming agains DPD for damaged goods.

They are taking our company to small claims court for an outstanding bill which we refused to pay until they paid us for the damaged goods. 

 

We owed them around £550 but they cause around £7K worth of damage .

I was only ever going to counterclaim if they pursued us for the outstanding invoice which they have. 

 

I have all emails, photos, evidence to try to counterclaim but was hoping for help with this journey if anyone has experience on this  

many thanks

I'm not too sure why you feel that it is necessary to open a new thread on this because you already have a thread going on this problem. Opening a second thread simply leads to confusion and a disconnected story. I've merged the two threads

[PPP123]

sorry, i thought i had been told by someone else to create a new thread once it gets to this stage

Yes you are right. That was me! Sorry.

Anyway let's carry on here for the moment.

Please can you post up the claim form in PDF format

[PPP123]

no worries, i thought id got it wrong.. please find the claim form dpd claim form.pdf

[BankFodder]

I suggest that you file an acknowledgement of service with intention to defend immediately. This will extend the time for filing a defence to 28 days. You can do this online

Can you just run through the evidence that you have of the damage which was caused please. Can you set out bullet pointed item by item

[PPP123]

ok, ill do this now  

 

 

i ahve acnowledged intention to defend on line, ive also printed it off do ill post recorded 

[BankFodder]

No you shouldn't need to send a separate copy. The court will take care of that. As long as they have it on their system that you have filed an acknowledgement then that should be fine.

[PPP123]

ok no problem
