Originally posted by doodab View PostI think you're now being contrary for the sake of it. Small claims court is the standard means of recovering debts such as these and rarely makes an order as to costs, so it doesn't matter how expensive their lawyer is as you don't have to pay for them. Judges also frown on people who don't pay their bills...
But did you get a credit report on the dodgy agency recently or before you began the engagement? If they already have half a dozen CCJs another is unlikely to make much difference...Last edited by Safe Collections; 27 June 2013, 12:50.Comment

Originally posted by Safe Collections View PostJust to point out, what starts as a small claim can end up being allocated to the multi or fast track at the discretion of the Judiciary. Multi and fast track claims do not have the same restrictions on payment of costs if you lose or any counterclaim is found to have merit. Otherwise, you sound like you are on the right track.

For one off reports we would recommend the Experian Business Check service. Full report including payment data, CCJ records etc is £17.99.

They do, but personally we wouldn't use that provider...Comment

Originally posted by Safe Collections View PostFor a small business contract with Experian or someone similar you would expect to pay around £300-400 per year, but for most contractors we imagine this would be massive overkill as you are unlikely to conduct enough reports for it to be cost effective.

Originally posted by Amiga500 View PostMaybe in the past but my own recent personal experience would show this to no longer be the case. I was also advised by a barrister and recorder (a part time judge) that emails hold as much weight as a letter. I don't buy the whole not receiving part, obviously you ask for a reply in 14 days which shows they received the email.
Incidentally I have just spent 5 days chasing a special delivery parcel that went missing with no signature so if you think mail is bullet proof you should think again.
E-mail is a form of documentary evidence and can be admitted as evidence in court in the same way as can other forms of documentary evidence. However, as with other forms of evidence, the reliability of e-mail evidence will be subject to scrutiny. This can be a particular issue in the context of e-mail or other electronic evidence, since measures which may protect the integrity and/or authenticity of electronic evidence (such as the use of digital signatures or other forms of encryption) are not always used. As a result, the reliability of e-mail as evidence may be subject to attack.
My last experience with emails as evidence was last year. The opposition’s solicitor was a compulsive liar and denied receiving emails. The judge had to accept her version because solicitors are classed as ‘officers of the court’ It was plain that she lied in court. Cases often end up like Alice in Wonderland with no logic whatsoever and with contradictions of previous judges."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
