Is there a more up to date version of the "Claim with interest" letter template on the site, or can someone help me word this a bit more appropriately, please.
At the minute the template letter goes:
I haven't requested anything yet. Delete it or reword it?
This never happened. Delete it or reword it?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Is the bit about the county court still relevant? Delete it or reword it?
Again, is this relevant now? Delete or reword?
This last sentence: delete or reword?
Cheers.
At the minute the template letter goes:
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I refer to default charges applied to my account amounting to [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][insert total of charges plus interest][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif], which I have requested you pay back. [/FONT]
I haven't requested anything yet. Delete it or reword it?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I wrote to you on [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][insert date][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif], making the original request for a payment in settlement of my claim.[/FONT]
This never happened. Delete it or reword it?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] As I have not [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][select from[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] heard from you [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]/[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] not received a satisfactory response[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif], I am writing to inform you I intend to claim the full amount claimed together with interest up to the date of judgement and court fees in the proceedings through the county court. [/FONT]
Is the bit about the county court still relevant? Delete it or reword it?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]This is based on the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations, as I believe these default charges are unfair and not proportionate to your costs, and therefore the [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][insert name of court][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] court will rule in my favour. [/FONT]
Again, is this relevant now? Delete or reword?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I have attached a full schedule of the charges and interest with this document. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][Include list of charges and interest and be sure to keep a copy for yourself].[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I look forward for a full response to this letter within 7 days, otherwise I will commence court proceedings to reclaim my money.[/FONT]
This last sentence: delete or reword?
Cheers.
