Desperate for help guys

2 copies sent with free proof of postage from 2 separate post offices is more than sufficient for a court.

Head it 'Letter Before Action', followed by the make, model and reg of the car.

I applied to the small claim court on Saturday filled the form in online.
Now today I've had an email from the company asking me to ring them.


If they say they are willing to refund my money then should they also cover the court costs of £105 that i've had to inccure?
If they only agree to pay back the original amount and not the court cost then should I let it just process through court and get a judgement and recover the whole amount.


Thanks

Stuff like this needs to be done by post sent by recorded or special delivery so there is proof it has been received.

This is not the way.

A recipient can get round this simply..

Better and also moneysaving is to get a free cert of posting from the post office

As long as you followed the rules (and notified them you intended to take court action after a reasonable period)

But if you just went ahead with your court claim you cannot pursue them for your court expenses over this

I've already sent them the 'letter before court action' and the deadline for this has now passed. So that's the reason I have now applied to the courts.
They are trying to get in touch with me now possibly to make arrangements to pay, but what I'm wanting to know is should I also be asking them for the £105 court fee aswell?

If you have already issued the court papers then isn't the fee already part of the claim? That is the amount you want.

Also, be wary of them fobbing you off. Continue with the claim until they pay.

I presume you did a money claim online?

The claim they receive will have your fee added to the amount claimed.

If they only refund the price of the car then you can still let the claim run to judgement for the fee amount. Then it would be up to you if you thought the £105 judgement was worth pursuing further or you just chalk it off to experience.

Right I finally got letter through from the court in my favour without a hearing ordering DFC Cars to pay me just over £2k

Them slimy Bas**** have gone and changed their company name to these:
