Legal Notice from company about an old debt

MThead_2

Hi,

Need some help in writing a letter to refute a debt claim from a company. A brief summary of events:

a) October 2003 we accept a quote to have new windows in extension on house. Told by sales rep that they could match existing windows.
b) 4 weeks later different windows arrive
c) This goes on for several months and finally they say they cannot match the originals.
d) To cut a long story short after some legal letters from a lawyer, we agree to accept the windows they had left, although they left the job unfinished and not to our satisfaction. At this point they are prepared to walk away as is.
e) We had to keep our builders on for several months extra at our expense because of the delay in the supply of these windows. We also said we would not be paying the outstanding balance, because we were not getting the product we asked for.
f) They left one window in such a state that we repeatedly called them to come and fix it. Which they eventually did in Sept 2005.

They were always hard to get hold off and were very slow in responding to letters from our solicitor at the time.

Now they have written a letter to reclaim the outstanding balance, saying any judgement/decree obtained against me will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, to putting a charge on my house or land, or even making me personally bankrupt.

I want to refute this claim, but have no idea how to write the letter. Any help much appreciated, I need to send this out in the next day or two.
