Title: advice on collecting an outstanding debt.
Post by: Smudgeoff Cleaning Services on May 09, 2013, 05:51:43 pm: Hi all,
I am currently owed £310.00 from a local cinema. I have emailed, spoken to admin staff, spoken to owners son but can't get to speak to the owner.

I have satisfaction certificates all signed by the manager, but still no money.

I have been there on several occasions with no luck they all say I need to speak to the owner who doesn't respond to email....

Please advise.

Many Thanks
Darren

I strongly recommend Thomas Higgins mate. I have sent out 3 "Letters Before Action" and all have coughed up.

Costs £2.00 + vat for a LBA
