The only thing I would say is that if their letter does not do the trick taking it any further is quite pricey.
I have recently done this with one ex custard who knocked us for over £100 he got the Thomas Higgins letter made contact and said he would pay ,but did not bother.
This one turns out to be a habitual knocker so I did not want to wipe my mouth and move on.
Decided to spend £25 and register with money claim online .
Filled in the form online with details of my claim plus my costs and bingo payment made within 7 days.
If he had not paid it would have been heard at a local court and if proven instant CCJ.

Robert I have alot of small money owed like. £2k+ but £10-£30 would it not be worth it I'm guessing I can't recover the £25 charge?

Post by: russ_clark on January 05, 2014, 07:36:15 pm: Yes you can recover the charge it is a legit expense in recovering your money so you can add it to the amount outstanding.

Post by: Richard iSparkle on January 05, 2014, 08:17:36 pm: what level of debt are you recovering Lee?

We use Thomas Higgins for anything below £100, as once you've set it up it is very easy to use, and with a good success rate (when sent to home owners).

For amounts over £100 we use 2 different companies.
