zak Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Basically, I'm owed some money from a Car auction company. They said this time last month that it would take 5-7 days for the money to come through. Well, its 3 weeks on and i still haven't recieved the money back. I've rung them multiple times, and each time they say its at the top of their to-do list, and its still not done !! All this time i've been patient and polite but i think its become an absolute pisstake. How do i approach the situation in terms of getting the money off them in terms of using 3rd parties. I'm in london, and they are up north in Newcastle, i currently dont have a car so i cant really go up there and be in there face and re-iterate to them that i need the money now, so it's been through phone calls really. How much would debt collectors charge, any body used them ? how do i go about using legal force on the company ? am i better off going through the courts myself ? Its quite a bit of money £3,300-odd, does that qualify for small claims court ? I want it to be all above board so no suggestions of burning there office up or any sh*t like that..

Goddaz Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Firstly get a solicitor to write a very strongly worded letter threatening legal action, give them limited time say 14 days, if they don't pay you back after that time then File a county court order.

How can they call me on withheld last week, i answer and they ask my name so I say David. Then the guy says hes not after me he wants to speak to a Mr Fin. I just said wrong number and they took me off the call list. Just for this example my names David Fin, so they didnt even have my first name on record.
