BT again!

Dear Commercial Credit Services,

Re: Account number 0203xxxxxx

Thank you for your NOTIFICATION OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS dated 6th July 2011 and received at my address on 9th July 2011.

Your NOTIFICATION OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS informs us that you are acting on behalf of BT and that you are attempting to collect a debt of £76.94.

Your NOTIFICATION also tells us that if this matter proceeds to court, the amount you will collect will be boosted by £35 court fees, £50 solicitors costs, £0.51 statutory interest – to a grand total of £162.45.

I wish to make the following points crystal clear to you.

1. I do not owe BT £76.94.
2. I do not owe BT any money whatsoever
3. BT and I agreed, last week, that since February 2011 BT have been billing me bogus sums of money for services I have not received
4. BT have sent me written confirmation of this agreement, this week
5. BT also agreed, in this confirmation, that I do not owe them any money

I wish I could say that receiving your NOTIFICATION OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS was a surprise, but given the level of utter incompetence I have experienced at the hands of BT since February, absolutely nothing would surprise me about this organisation.

I realise that you are only acting on instructions you have received from BT, but I would counsel you with several words of advice on this matter, before you take any further action.

I would advise you to go back to BT and check, and get BT to double check, the instructions you have been given, and to ask them to do so very, very carefully.

I would also advise you that if you intend to take me to court for a fictitious debt, that I will attend court with a Daily Mail journalist and a staff photographer.

I would also advise you that if this claim proceeds to court – and when your ridiculous claim is thrown out – I will be taking legal proceedings against you for:

• A full day’s wage (as a self-employed person, it is only fair that you reimburse me my contracted daily rate – a sum far in excess of £164.25 per day)
• Administrative and preparation time, as charged at the legal rate
• Travel expenses to the court
• An undisclosed sum for what is now a case of illegal harassment over a fabricated debt.

Please note that I shall not enter in to any telephone conversation with you over this matter. If you wish to further this discussion you can contact me via mail at my address on file, or via email to this address.

To say I have an abject distrust of BT and anyone associated with this cowboy organisation would be, frankly, understating the case.

Also, please note that all correspondence will be published in full on the internet.
