Re: mehim's UE Diary

gosh Mehim you are far too polite

I wouldn't tell them you have an electronic track, let them find that out if they take it further, the doorstep letter they've sent is probably a next step in the escalating threat machine and as you know most doorsteps survive to be threatened another day. other than that go for it

Good morning All,

latest from Fred`s letting me know I`ve not paid this alleged debt.

They are prepared to offer one final opportunity to before referring back to the client with a recommendation to take further action.
Also offering at this late stage, as a gesture of goodwill, they are prepared to accept a full and final settlement on the account provided I contact them within 48 hours of receipt of the letter. opps too late, silly me.

I`m think there is a reply somewhere regarding the client failing to complying with s78. despite them saying they have.

I`d be grateful if someone could point me in the correct direction.

Many thanks for all the help received from this magnificent forum.
