Frankly I wouldn't bother with the solicitor's letter until I hadn't had my invoice paid on time and dunning had failed to get the money.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Dunning does take time, but it demonstrates that you have been reasonable, should it go to court.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Either you dispute the damage or you don't. If you dispute it then stay firm and chase for payment.
The agent seems to be accepting your case anyway. Show yourself as a business and be respected as one.Last edited by Contreras; 6 January 2017, 02:12.Comment

With everyone else on this one. Stop arguing with them on the phone.
If they dont pay the invoice, take the necessary steps. Its unrelated to the damage issue.
Leave them deal with the damage issue. If it does come back to you then take it from there. But I cant see how something hired to a client, can be passed onto you unless they can prove you were negligent?Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

The agency have taken the full cost of 'damages' out of my fee, with no further updates and without my consent. I am fuming.
Do I still follow the dunning process or is this a straight out send in a debt collection agency or court action?Comment

Any news on the damages? I'm guessing the agent are in the clear, which is why the relationship is still civil (and why they've paid up without too much complaint).The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
