Dealings with Are You Owed Money ltd

It looks like nothing's changed and they're trying again. Just follow this advice ^^ given a few weeks ago.
You do not have a contract with AYOM so don't owe them anything, if the original contract with the builder included some reasonable costs for late payment (perhaps £10 to send a payment reminder) perhaps that would be enforceable but I don't see the builder is going to be awarded this £500 fee, I'm not a lawyer but it seems crazy to me. I would be tempted to advise both the builder and AYOM you have no contract with AYOM and don't wish to deal with AYOM any further but are happy to present your case in small claims if the builder wishes to recover the £700 via that avenue.0 -
I'm interested to hear how this progressed. Are you happy to share an update?
I have received similar letters from AYOM for amounts a builder is claiming.
None of which I think are legitimate so I have stated this to them and ignored them ever since.0
