This is the edited version of LordBase reply!!! All ok?

Can i ask for a copy of the engagement letter that i should of seen upfront and then signed, where i would of needed to agree to appoint you as my agent and know and accept any forthcoming charges.

Im sure that you appreciate that without a signed engagement letter a court is very unlikely to accept that there was a contract in place and that without a contract you have no legal right to demand money from me.

If you continue to pursue the alleged "debt". I will be writing to your professional institute Disciplinary & Ethics Committee with an official complaint, As everyone knows all upstanding accountants are members of a professional body.

Regards


Do this by email ok? and either can be met with a response of forget it.... but if met with more challenges then write a letter of complaint to the professional body!!! They have a website with all their names and senior people so wont need to ring.

If he hasn't got IDs from you, copy of passport or friving licence, copy of recent utility bills, bank account details, he may also be in breach of the anti-money laundering regulations.

Just a small point.......You should change your "should of/would of" to "should have/would have", it always looks better to get things correct when writing an e mail or letter IMHO.
