Got to love Solicitors Letters!
« on: December 03, 2012, 09:52:31 pm »
Have a client who owes me £250 after an insurance claim.  She ignored all phone calls, letters, emails, calls to her work address for the past 2 months.

One letter of our helpful friends Thomas Higgins PArtnership, and she's emailed to request my bank details.

Love it!!!!  ;D

they're great.  some people hate getting them and will get straight on the phone to you.  i tried to write my own legal looking letter previously with little effect.  one of these babies (£2) and you're laughing.

never used ones what does it say and do they follow up or is this just a threat type letter Richard ? What do/ would you do if they ignore that letter ?

they just have 2 letters you can send through their website.  one a standard type threat, the next threatenning court action imminently.

i understand you can use them to procede with action, tho i just log on and send the letters.

if they ignore the first letter i send the second, and then would drop it unless it was a serious amount of money, so £100 or more i reckon.

Richard, if it's a small amount say £10 can you or do t-higgins put the £2 ontop of the custy's bill or is the £2 down to you?

Its all down to your cost! you can't just put £2 onto someone's bill.

But i would rather receive £8.00 minus the cost of the letter than nothing!!

If it's £10 I wouldnt bother chasing it other than the normal letters and calls we make.

But yes we add £5 to each letter to cover admin costs and the firms costs.

Some will pay the outstanding minus this, others pay the lot.
