Adidas threatening letter

It is a legitimate company. They are going back to adidas as they suspect letters have went out wrongly to legitimate returns. He is waiting on a call back.

When did you speak to DWF? I've been told not to contact them as they're poaching for money they're not entitled to and could get messy

Sounds like Adidas are going to be sending out a lot of complimentary items of kit in apology...

I suspect someone at Adidas ran a badly formed query on their returns database.  They'll be buying cakes for the office for months after this...

"Been told" by whom? They are a legit law firm and do act for Adidas. But I expect it's just been a c0ck-up by Adidas and they've passed on details of non-existent debts to chase up.

So, what happened between end of last year and now?

Adidas won't have been silent and then sent legal letter.

Legal letter won't have been the first step for Adidas, so what are the timescales? What happened in the total period from first purchase to now?

I think this thread has demonstrated why making blanket statements assuming that retailers never make mistakes isn't helpful.

OP did you speak to DWF or Adidas themselves and who is waiting on a call back?

This could make a big difference depending on if it is adidas or the company demanding money!

The OP confirmed that it is a mistake (bottom of page 4).

No one is demanding money?

I think it's important to highlight that the letter isn't a demand letter nor has any information provided to substantiate what the value is that they're requesting.
