  • Received a photo copy of N1 Form with no claim number or seal.

    A builder walked off my house renovation some two and a half years ago, sending me a text to say "find yourself another builder to complete the job". As he had already run over by over 6 months and was disappearing to other jobs, we did exactly that and never heard anything from him until 12 months later we received an invoice for just under £19K with 7 day to settle. We immediately sent a letter to dispute this invoice and within 2 days received correspondence (letters, phone calls, emails) from a no win no fee debt recovery company. After some 3 months providing substantial evidence to back up us disputing the invoice this company backed off and took no further action as at Jan 2018.

    On 21 December 2018 I have received a letter from a solicitor "Re: Issue of Proceedings" with a photocopy of a N1 Claim form , no seal , no claim no along with Particulars of Claim. This letter said that these document have been sent to "Court for Issue". This solicitor does not appear to have followed Pre-Action Protocol (no letter before action/claim) as this is the first correspondence I have received from them ever and I have not had any other correspondence regarding this invoice since Jan 2018.

    Is this a bluff?? Should they have followed protocol or are they using the actions of the previous debt recovery co as this protocol?
