    To whom do I direct County Court Claims forms?

    Hi 1. I am not certain it is a partnership. I know her sister works there. 2. I am aware of the difference of legal structure, but referred to it as a company, as most people would. 3. She is on the FSA register. Similarly, her name is on the charity's registration. Thus it is only the...

    To whom do I direct County Court Claims forms?

    Hi Surely the contract is with the partnership, since they asked for invoices to be sent to them? The debt is to do with the partnership business. At a guess, 75% of the outstanding debt is from that company. I can claim £80 of solicitors' fees, but there's no chance I'll find a solicitor for...

    To whom do I direct County Court Claims forms?

    Hi All MPG - that makes my life a lot easier! Thanks! Daniel - I was just filling out one of your forms for the other non-paying companies (there's a trend here!). I don't know if they're in trouble money-wise. All I know is they commissioned a service, knew the cost upfront and are now...

    Vodafone direct or through the Carphone Warehouse?

    Hi If you use Qidco, you can get £90 cashback per contract you take out. This can only be for orders placed online, however, so if you want to negotiate, you won't be able to. I produced a doc explaining how cashback works as a lot of people don't understand it. PM me if you want to know more. I...

    To whom do I direct County Court Claims forms?

    Hi All I have a sticky non-payer who's trying to avoid paying, without valid reason or an actual amount that she's disputing. Letters have gone back and forth from her solicitor, to no avail. She runs three companies, for whom I undertook work, but I have in writing that she wanted all invoices...

    Plz help, my letteing agent is not paying after ccj

    My ex was a wuss, so I knew he'd panic when they turned up. I just wanted him to panic / be embarrassed more than anything. Luckily, he paid the outstanding £2k two days before I went on holiday! Handy!

    Plz help, my letteing agent is not paying after ccj

    I'm not sure if it's still the case now, but a number of years ago, I took an ex boyfriend to court. I sent bailffs to his house (around £30 a time, but this was about six years ago). I didn't think I'd ever see the money, but I had visions of him being woken at 6am in full view of his...

    Debt Collection

    Hi This website has good advice and a free template http://www.contractorcalculator.co.uk/payment_letter_before_action.aspx Alternatively, The Thomas Higgins Partnership charge around £2 to send a letter on your behalf. I've spent a lot of time researching, due to non payers! Grrrr! Hope...

    Leafletting: the problem and the solution

    Or the other side of the coin is that if a leaflet drop wasn't planned in a specific area, but someone wants to pay my brother to distribute leaflets, he can distribute his for the 1p each printing charge, he gets more business....

    Leafletting: the problem and the solution

    Hi All My brother does the same thing for his cleaning business; bought some trackers and took on some retirees who wanted cash and exercise! Just a thought with what he does (although it does compromise the solus aspect) is that he charges other companies to deliver their leaflets, too...

    Legal issue - please help - non paying customer.

    Hi Jan sent me the letter by email. To me, as I've said to Jan, if a client approaches a solicitor, that solicitor would not turn work down because they don't agree with the client; they're going to get paid regardless. I have a similar issue at the moment with a client and I'm sure it's just...

    Website moving to Australia - Help!

    Hi I have a related query. I am in the process of doing an ecommerce site for a client who has a lot of contacts in Ireland. I assumed that it would be best to host the .ie website with an Irish host and the .co.uk with a UK host. Is this true and the best thing to do? And would Google penalise...
