Hi there,
I'm new to this site, have had a good look around but so far not seen anyone else with my particular problem. ............
We employed the services of ********** & partners for a specific task,
which they did back in 2008
The firm was run by one man........???? the partner could be his wife. Not sure
We agreed on a price for the job.
After 3 months we recieved an invoice for more or less the full amount.
This was mentioned when we paid the bill, even though the job was not quite finished.
We were assured no more invoices would be sent.
6 months later we received an invoice for a 4 figure sum.
We were shocked to say the least.
Another phone call to the office, the man said to forget it , it was an office error.
So we forgot it.
Today we learn that man died 18 months after our last telephone conversation.
15 months after that man died , we have recieved from a debt agency a demand for the 4 figure sum, plus interest etc etc etc.
This business man was not so good at putting things on paper , and those he did were quite scant in detail.
So where do we go from here. ????
All ideas welcome.
