Regarding with corvett, I can say we are both aligned via PM. Again not going into too much detail but nothing I had discussed with corvett are anything new nor not on this thread already.Comment

I would rather spend money on good lawyers (make them work for you), than pay those scam 5% of my own money that I worked for.Comment

I'm with MrProfit on this one. I would rather pay good lawyers to fight them in every corner than give them a penny of my money.

This is purely my opinion and based on nothing other than my own thoughts, but I suspect the SD approach is being used to force people to engage, one way or another.
I would hazard a guess that a large percentage of people so far have basically ignored Felicitas communications entirely (rightly or wrongly), this will force some people to actually engage with them at some level at least.
So remember, as stated previously, a SD cannot be used to pursue a disputed debt, that's not conjecture, that's law.......so make damn sure you dispute it properly if you receive one.
Also, even if they did want to try and bankrupt somebody, they would need to pay in order to do that. In addition, Felicitas will have zero idea of an individuals finances, so they could pay to bankrupt someone who has zero assets to begin with, which means they're out of pocket. Doesn't sound like a sensible path to take does it.........
I would advise any recipient of an SD to obviously get it formally disputed, and in fact I would apply straight to the court for it to be set-aside, I don't think I'd wait to see if Felicitas withdrew it. Assuming it is set aside, then an application for costs against Felicitas should be immediately sought.
Like I said, all opinion.Comment

You think people will still ignore it because it is Felicitas?
So can I be clear
This is a Statutory Demand, unless you complete the correct paperwork to dispute it in the appropriate time frame the money becomes owed with bankruptcy a serious possibility even if you say you are appealing it. If you don't dispute it now you will have to pay Felicitas and then when you win the case try to reclaim the money from them.
Don't end up in that situation, don't ignore it and dispute it ASAP.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
