Unpaid invoice/ dispute DCA

[Guest]

Hello, I have had a letter from a DCA regarding an unpaid invoice to a builder. The invoice from the builder was only dated the 27th March. The reason I have not paid the invoice is because of a dispute regarding time worked etc. No contract with the builder. The DCA have added a fee on, and have threatened court and further charges If I do not reply within 7 days.*
Just wondering what the best response is?*
Regards Nick.*

I would either ignore the DCA completely as they have no authority, or write and tell them the alleged debt follows a* very recent invoice and is disputed* and you don't expect to hear from them again.

Thanks. They have added £130 onto the disputed invoice in 4/5 days. Sounds a bit cowboy to me!!*
