Anyone can take anyone else to court any time they like, it is v unlikely they will in this case IMO.

If the case is properly defended, that is.

If the defence is poor, or no defence is made at all, there is a real possibility that a District Judge may be bamboozled by RLP's patent flim-flam.

Froot should get free, pro bono representation - see my signature - and get any case brought defended along the lines of the Oxford case.

Why wait for the claim form before getting representation?

Why wait for the claim form before getting representation?

Because they don't usually litigate.

So why bother, if the OP wishes to get into pointless dialogue with the morons then I am sure they would like that, it gives them extra opportunity to apply pressure, it is how they operate, I would have thought you would have known this/

I fully understand that they are essentially bullies, but the one person a bully respects is someone who can hurt them.

In this instance, that person is more likely to be a barrister than the owner/driver of a Sherman tank, if only because of the difficulty one would have in getting ammo.

I agree that theses people have to be watched, but I have seen no evidence of any increased incidence of litigation. There are many people on these forums receiving multiple threats of "taking you to court" and I have yet to see any that have come to fruition, with the acceptations of the ones mentioned on there website of course.

As you know these are generally regarded as speculative invoices, if the OP has received a letter from one of their solicitors and thinks it may be a letter before action then I suppose they could put it up on here and see what we think, but from previous experience it seems unlikely to be the case IMO.

Looks like the garden variety threat to me rather than an LBA, this person is on number 4 apparently http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...highlight=rlp/

They really do make you laugh, "specialist firm of undisputed debt collectors", how would that work then ?
You think of a number then send someone a bill for that amount, if the don't say hang on i don;t owe you anything to you, they transfer the "debt" to this firm, you couldn't make it up.

RLP themselves usually breach the pre action protocols with the content of their threatOgrams

Re: 3rd letter from RLP

ACPO have previously told RLP to cease referring to any claimed agreement between them and RLP. One thing you need to know about RLP and that is they can be economical with the actualities. I would be inclined to ignore the crap they spout about the "specialist debt collection company". It is, basically, a ploy to intimidate you into paying. You would be wise to follow Clever Clog's advice and seek pro bono legal advice.

They keep telling one that it is "undisputed" until, eventually, one almost believes them?

Why not?

RLP made it up, didn't they?
