Estate Agent is taking me to court
Comments

Bloody estate agents. Greedy animals, can't see how they can justify so much for around 10 sides of A4 paper. The quicker they start to fail the better.
I rented my property out with LetsRent which listed it on Zoopla without issues and had it let in around 2 weeks.0 -
Just one thing to add from myself, is that from your openign post it sounds like your claimant is well versed in using the court system. So please follow all timescales and instructions from the court to the letter or otherwise you will probably find him applying for a summary judgementas quick as you know it
Is that because the letter was sent in a parcel? I can't see anything else in the OP that would suggest that. In which case I wouldn't say they are necessarily familiar with the court system, but have experience of serving notices (which one would expect from a letting agent).
Having said that, it's obviously good advice to follow all instructions to the letter - you don't want to give them a technicality to cling onto.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -
I like the letter in a parcel idea.
Did the letting agent send you a "Letter Before Action"?Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0 -

yes it's quite amazing they would go to such lengths given they aren't going to win in court.0 -
It's occurred to me before as a way to get someone to sign for something that they might not actually want to receive. Never actually used it though.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
