Self-Storage Payment Arrears, Goods Seizure, and Demands Years Later.

[CluelessJim]

Hello, I'm back

Had a few duff days, to be fair; this situation isn't too helpful to my well-being.

The situation escalated massively, it appears. Here is a new letter, and they've added a couple of thousand pounds to it.

Also, I have uploaded a simple response for your inspection, Amethyst and des8 . I thought keeping it simple would be good (maybe too simple), though I'd love to suggest they invest in staff for their research dept. and/or tell them to buzz-off. Obviously I haven't sent this yet.

I thought I wouldn't request any more details, so they don't think they've hooked me (coz they haven't!).

Sincerely,

Jim xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok - I'd wait and see what Ms Jackson comes back with after receipt of your letter as that response was sent before you wrote to them.

There aren't any debt collection costs either - far as I can see Jackson's work on a no win no fee basis.

In the long term I don't think it matters what you write to them, or if you bother to write at all.

If you ignore them, they will doubtlessly write more threatening letters, and then come over all legal and initiate court proceedings at which point you tell them to check companies house for the statius of the company.
Or you write and tell them now, and doubtlessly they will change their tune and start on you as opposed to the company, and then you will have to go through the rigmarole of defending as an individual
or you write now asking for copy contract etc which if produced might assist if they try and sue you as an individual.
I personally wouldn't tell them at this stage that the company has been wound up.
Any half decent debt collector would have checked that already.

But it probably doesn't matter what you write at this stage as they will most likely continue trying to frighten you into submission!

True. I thought that letter had already been sent, but as it hasn't it's probably best ignored as Des says

I started replying yesterday, got a bit stumped and now have been sat by my computer for two hours trying to get my head in the right space. So this will look a bit staggered...

May this be the best way to proceed? So there are recorded legal movements against the former company before I make clear my individual status.

I personally wouldn't tell them at this stage that the company has been wound up.

I had been thinking that was my ace.

I have amended the letter that I haven't sent yet, so it's totally different! If this was a dissertation, I would have been expelled for plagiarism.

Hey Amethyst, I've just seen your post that say it may be best for me to ignore this. If I ignore the demands, what would be my best course of action? And what might they do next?

Below; I just copied the new text into this reply instead. BTW, happy to PM you both with the uncensored details.
