Im owed £995 by a punter from last year, middle of August to be precise. Ive allowed it to go on for so long as it involved an insurance claim against us. The woman wants some cosmetic repair work done to her house which we were the cause of, however, she's being very obstructive in getting it resolved so Im now taking her to court.


Does anyone have any experience in using the MCOL website, as I would like to be sure whether you need to inform the custard that you will be taking legal action against her. I sent her a letter this time last week with the intention of getting it signed for but according to the Royal Mail website its still not been collected. So today when passing her place I dropped a copy of the letter off for her. So, she's received a copy just theres no proof she has.


Is this enough to pursue the case with MCOL or do I need proof she's had fair warning?

what im trying to get my head around is how does a domestic customer end up owing you a grand?

3 day job, equipment hire and chemicals.

That's disappointing, I though that was your daily rate.

Its easy enough depending on the job. I did a few render cleans last year where customers owed me between £500 and £600 for a days work.

The letter was delivered after I made re-arrangements with the P.O. and they signed for it.

Have you tried a Thomas Higgins letter before action?
