How long did it take from submitting a form and your £25?

I read that as he'd have taken it further if they ignored the default and hadn't paid up.

Fair play to OP, I'm a 'principle' sort of person myself so I applaud this type of thing even for such a relatively small amount.

A very large agency deducted £250 from my invoice.

What was their reason for deducting that amount of money? (i'll understand if you want to keep it vague)

Next step would have been filing for a Third Part Debt which would have frozen their bank account. That might have upset all their contractors who wouldn't have got paid.
