Clients solicitor playing mind games. need advice
Hi all,
I'm new here and only just signed up for some quick answers, if you could be so kind help me out,
I am currently seeking legal action against a client who is refusing to pay an invoice, i originally started the claim against the company and was informed by their solicitor that the company is not a legal entity, i went to free advice center and they informed me that i was wrong and need to withdraw my current claim against this company and go for the people trading as instead,
I have informed there solicitor and provided evidence of discontinue with the original case and explained that i made a mistake and have withdrawn the claim but if the invoice is still not paid by the end off the week i will be going after Mr A & Mr B Trading as ***
Now there solicitor is constantly emailing me false information trying to get me to admit fault and saying that the original invoice has been paid.
Now on the 15/10 this year is the email i sent to to the client with the invoice attached for payment which is what they are refusing to pay, the invoice their solicitor is on about is the first invoice for the deposit of the work which was paid and is my main evidence as they paid me under their Trading as name - which according to them they are not trading as and never have been and since the contract they signed is for the trading as company its null and void!
Now the invoice numbers are all different and have a different date obviously but how can i respond to that email without saying the matter is closed as such. i know that if i reply saying
i have agreed to bringing this matter to a close with the wording of the solicitors email!
Just an update, My company has 2 T/AS names we have the limited company, then 2 other company's which is Mine and then my wifes business.
The limited company works and funds the little company's.
Its the T/AS company that has invoiced the client the final bill and then i have issued a final invoice for the client from the limited company which has a different invoice and different numbers, now the number on the final demand invoice matches the one from the T/AS company which was paid on the 8th july?
The invoices have different names, one shows the T/AS name whilst the other has the limited company name, would that affect things?

Many thanks.
I have spoken with my client, they have advised me that you did receive payment of £X on 8 July 16 for the original invoice. On further investigation you submitted two invoices, both numbered 185 adding up to £X. Can you kindly confirm that you did receive payment, thus bringing this matter to a close?
