West 28th Street Limited

I disagree. Whilst I cannot say what any given judge is likely to do - a judgement will be made on fact, not process. The question will be "Does the defendant owe this money" the answer is either Yes, or No. What has happened before the fact has no bearing on the answer to that question.

The claimant will be put to strict proof to provide the court with evidence that I owe them the money. If they are able to do that, then fair game and we're all stuffed - but ultimately, it will be their job to try and do that - that will give you the answer to the above.

This will be their case - they can do the work. I still see no benefit of engaging at all with them.

I don't think our positions are mutually exclusive. Both can be correct.

I never suggested that disputing the demands would, in itself, determine the outcome of a court claim. Ultimately, as you say, the judge will decide the matter based on the evidence and whether the claimant can establish that the debt is owed.

My point was simply that, if the matter does end up in court, having a documented history of disputing the debt, requesting evidence of liability and making reasonable attempts to resolve the matter puts you in a stronger procedural position than having ignored everything.

I'm not saying it will win the case for you, just that the way both sides have handled things along the way can and does still matter in these situations.

Anyone contacted SRA around code of conduct/practice of TT? Considering....

Given the scale of the West 28 litigation, I'm curious about who is actually compiling the supporting paperwork, including historic agreements, account records and financial calculations.

Does Trethowans prepare and verify everything internally, or does Ethica Resolve or another provider undertake some of the administrative work?

I came across public sources about Ethica BPO (business process outsourcing) activities which prompted the question.

I'm not suggesting these operations are involved in the West 28 claims, or that outsourcing would necessarily be unlawful.

I'm simply interested in understanding who prepares all the documentation/the evidence, who checks its accuracy and where legal responsibility sits.

Thoughts?

Hold your heads in Shame.....​

I am not currently a direct client, but I am appalled by Trethowans. Despite representing high-value clients, they are partnering with bottom-tier debt collectors to pursue unlawful claims. They are sending intentionally confusing letters designed to trick people into thinking unenforceable demands are legally binding. I would invite Helen O'Hara, who heads up this operation, to publicly address the flood of negative reviews they are receiving on this matter. To senior management: where did it all go wrong? You used to be a reputable firm. I hope the reputational damage is worth whatever profit you are making.

I enjoyed giving Trethowans a one star review after all the grief they have given me over the last few months.

They deserve to have their rating below 3

Trethowans tried to have mine removed so I went straight to TrustPilot.

I hope Dan Neidle names Trethowan in his article.

We've been waiting quite a while for this article from Dan !
