Urgent Invoice Help

[Tseten]

Hello,

I have had a few other threads on this forum so I won't go into everything, just cut to the chase.

I have Lowell Financial/Red Debt (same company) in Tacit.

They have sent me three more letters stating they are getting my full HSBC statements from...HSBC.

They arrived today in a huge 1 inch thick envelope (I have NOT opened them)

I plan to invoice them and then write return to sender on the statements...(thoughts on this)

I just need a little help with regards to the invoice, I'm struggling alot!


I have downloaded the invoice from here and it has 3 points already added:

1: £1,000 per invalid contact... (All of the letters i'm assuming from the beginning - Do i list all of the dates as it says letters dated...or just put the number in the charge column?

2: Charge per unrebutted agreement (3x the amount they say I owe right?)

3: One million unauthorised trademark...I have not trademarked my name should i leave the one million off? or trademark my name before I send it?

4: on the the third tacit letter it say £1,000 per hour of the authorised reps time or part of (how do i bill this??)

Finally: £1,000 per recorded delivery, so this would be my fourth letter to them, so it'll be £4,000?...

Would it be also possible once its done to post it here, or email it to someone for checking?

Think I should send it right away... Worried again.

Thanks in advance guys/gals!!

up to you

£1,000 for every letter you have sent as on average it takes a hour or part of to send a letter

Hi Ceylon,

Please could you look at my invoice if you have the time.

Any tips/advice on it would be great. Hope I got it right.

ON my tacit letters, above my address on the top right and anywhere my name was, I always wrote Peter-geoff: Fowling

On the template for the invoice, it already had peter geoff fowling, without the hyphen and colon.

Should i leave it or change it?

Oh and should i put 'CC: andrew bartle' on the same letter? as i also put him in tacit at the same time, will have to adjust the bill to reflect this.

Cheers!

top line all your name in capitals
rest looks ok

Make all cheques payable to Peter Geoff fowling
this should be in capitals as well as you dont have a bank account

Thank you for taking the time to look it over Ceylon!

Made the changes you suggested and just printed it out to post in a few minutes so they get it mon/tues.

Curious as to what their response will be!

Well i recieved a reply today, dated two days after I sent the invoice:

We regret to note that despite previous correspondence regarding your account, we have not received payment or a valid reason for non-payment.

Failure to respond to this notice may result in further action been taken to recover the monies owed by you.

We urge you to call one of our advisors to prevent action being taken....

Andrew Bartle.


The last letter from them they said my account was on hold pending some statements!

Also it was referred to Red Debt, their other side of the business, now its back with lowell and andrew!

Should I wait the remaining 7 days i gave them and bill them again?
Should I write a letter stating that they said the account was on hold?

What does everyone think?

[ceylon]

either bill them or wait and see whats next

Howdy,

Well I received two replys from Lowlife on friday.

The first, dated the 4th, says they have already sent sufficient information documentation to substantiate their claim.

We refer to our letter dated xxxx (will have to check i have it) where you were advised that we rejected the terms of your agreement and shall not be party to them. Please be advised that your invoice is unrecognised and has not recieved any consideration. Should it be the case that any further invoices are received from you in the future they will receive no consideration, nor will they be acknowledged.



I love that paragraph.

I have not receieved any evidence. Two letters ago THEY said my account was on hold pending statements from HSBC, then around 2-3 weeks later i receive a further letter demanding payment, afterwhich I sent the invoice....

Then probably due to a slow postman i received this dated two days later.




The account was handed over to Red Debt in the early stages prior to sending the letters, now it appears to be back with lowell and andrew who i have in tacit.

They say the letters are from a forum etc and have no value.


I am contemplating photocopying their letters to me - the ones stating my account was on hold and these new ones asking for payment.
Then sending them along with a new invoice and a letter demanding they stop hounding me, stating that i will contact the relevant bodies (ombudsman etc) and copying the above paragraph into it...

What do you think? What should I do next?

[Tseten]

Just modified an letter I found, its only rough, am thinking of sending this along with a new invoice.

What do you think? Should I forget it and just send the invoice? Not really sure or confident...



Regarding your letter dated 4/8/12, you stated that you have sent sufficient information documentation to substantiate your claim.
Prior to this letter, You stated on the xx/xx/xx That the account was on hold pending miscellanoues information. In fact I also received letters from you dated xx/xx/xx which stated the same fact.
I have not received any information from you what-so-ever that could possibly directly or indirectly help substantiate your claim in anyway. Nothing has been received. Your persistent and irreverent demands are not only categorically without merit, but they are also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious.

I am familiar with the CPUTR 2008 and the Office of Fair Trading's Guidance on debt collection, which states that it is unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

I would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable and in not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

Please be advised that apart from written confirmation that this matter is now resolved in full and/or payment of the bill dated 16/08/12, that any further contact from you and Lowell Portfolio I, Lowell Portfolio III, Red Debt, etc.. will be unrecognised and will not receive any consideration. Should it be the case that any further letters from you and the aforementioned companies be received from you in the future they will receive no consideration, nor will they be acknowledged. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to Trading Standards and also inform the Office Of Fair Trading and Financial Ombudsman of your actions.

I look forward to your reply.

end of letter

Cheers
