Fed-Ex final notice without any invoices first

actually, no I haven't checked specifically.
It seems stupid actually.. I sort of assumed that they hadn't taken the payment and were now blaming me for their failure. but maybe they messed up even worse that I thought. I should check on it tomorrow. thanks.
Let us know how you get on.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -

All these accusations about how bad they are when you haven't even checked?
How much was the item worth that you sent to South Korea? What was it declared at? You would have needed to fill out the paperwork so what value did you write?
FedEx don't charge until the item is delivered - usually within a few weeks.0 -
Hmm,, well I am a consumer, I am expected to be disorganised and fallible :P
They are supposed to have systems to keep on top of these sorts of things, I am not really expected to have that kind of thing.
but anyhow I do keep all my statements, I just don't pore over them when i receive them so I just had a look now and it doesn't appear that Fed-Ex have charged my card.
So I sent them an email asking for a hard copy (Thanks visidigi !) ad I got a reply by email with a digital copy of the invoice attached.
I don't really feel too good about it, I would prefer that they do the proper thing and just send me an original invoice as they should have.
I'm thinking I should send the same email again.

Am I missing something here - why dont you print off the digital invoice and you will have a hard copy.0

the value was roughly £100. it was important documents so they don't have a commercial value, just a production and admin cost.How much was the item worth that you sent to South Korea?

Reasonable. You should expect an invoice from the supplier whom you contracted to do the work. If they do not produce this, it is grounds to defend any court claim.I sent them an email telling them that I expected them to send me the original invoice
You have no right to this, although it is fair enoughand an explanation as to why they didn't charge my credit card.
This makes you look foolish in the extreme. They have 6 years to take you to court for their money.I stipulated that unless I receive these things within a week, they are formally waiving their claim to the outstanding balanceYou might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0 -
Why on earth would you do that? the digital copy was sent to you, what difference does having it in paper make to you? Think of the tree's you're saving.
Its highly likely they did send you an invoice, but they/royal mail/you have misplaced it. They have sent you a copy of it, so theres nothing stopping you paying it.the value was roughly £100. it was important documents so they don't have a commercial value, just a production and admin cost.
If a document has a value above 0 then it has a value. When you declare if the document has no value you declare it as 'No Commercial/Customs Value' If it has a value then you have to declare the type of documents they are and what their value is. e.g. Commercial Contract - £100I would have to buy a printer to do that.
You don't need to print it, I don't see what difference it makes.
You have a copy of the bill, you can pay it, if you don't want to then the debt collectors will continue, given its been 4 months since you shipped the item.
FedEx have had a problem charging your card for whatever reason - they've sent you a letter which has gone missing. They passed it to debt collectors, you were then aware, you asked for an invoice you got it and now because you haven't been sent it on paper you want to email them again?
Sorry, but I can't see the point.0 -
The first communication I have gotten from them since I gave them my credit card information and had a horrible expereince with an extremely rude driver, was a legal threat. I'd say I have a right to be a bit snickety.Why on earth would you do that? the digital copy was sent to you, what difference does having it in paper make to you? Think of the tree's you're saving.

If the first invoice was in fact sent out, but I didn't get it, why wasn't a second invoice sent? no, all I got was a FINAL NOTICE. very unpleasant. I thought you understood that?
I don't know why you seem to be responding to me in a way that feels negative.
as Valhaller said, it is reasonable to expect an invoice before getting legal threats. I admit I did try and be a bit clever with my initial responses to them but since hearing your advice I am being reasonable and asking for an original invoice.
it's a matter of principle as well. this kind of company should not be allowed to get away with something like this because they will do it again to somebody else. anyone on this website should be all too familiar with how these organisations behave.
anyway, I got a reply to that second email. they have sent out physical copies in the mail. Once I get those I will pay them.
All I expect is a modicum of civility.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
