    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    This is still true. If my client here had not agreed a three month termination clause there would be nothing for me to argue over. Why did they put it in there... they imagined it would be to their advantage. Anything you put in a contract has the potential to act like a double-edged sword...

    Thankyou, despite the strange tone and apparent absurdity of motivation in this post it has been helpful!

    Not sure what's "not the case at all" Whether or not I find things useful or amusing is up to me.

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    The whole point of asking questions and posting on public forums is to try to get a flavour for the different ways a situation can play out. It helps avoid issues of tunnel vision where you become too focused on one course and don't see what might be obvious to people with no direct interest in...

    Very good advice, thank you. I don't have indemnity insurance but I can see how it could be useful and would consider it in the future.

    I think that is more-or-less the plan.

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say I thought I had provided bad service. This is the point of argument between us. If I had provided bad service and they terminated the contract then that would be allowed under the terms we agreed. In this case no issues had been raised, they...

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    I'm a big advocate of 'legal on the cheap' and I've done quite well with that strategy over the years. I've paid £0 in legal fees and won all my battles, not a bad record. So anything more than court fees is worth challenging from my point of view. The outstanding amount is their three...

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    I think it's up to me whether or not I give up on it. Value of the dispute is subjective, what is nothing to one person might be substantial to another.

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    Simple as - they were unhappy with the service I was providing. We signed a contract agreeing on both sides that we would give 3 months notice if either side wished to terminate the contract. The dispute is that they consider the situation to be so unacceptable that they have not given the...

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    True, so do I just send the invoice for the unpaid notice and hope that they'll pay it?

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    Yes, the problem is this invoice will be for unpaid notice of termination of the contract which they are obligated to pay by virtue of the agreement of it. So it's a bit of a balancing act. On the one hand they have terminated a contract without providing the agreed notice either in time or...

    Point taken... just send it.

    Sending an invoice you know a company will dispute

    I was a little pushed for time earlier so did not answer that part of your reply. I think you're right, got to put the invoice in anyway. My reservation I suppose is thinking whether or not there is another way to resolve the problem and whether or not intentionally starting a dispute is a...
