Thanks steampowered..... It just seems ludicrous that so embody can make an invoice up & all of a sudden I have to defend myself against the courts. Is this something I should be defending myself, or are there solicitors out there that will take this on? Also, either way it looks as though I will get stuffed with legal fees at least. Doesn't seem right.

Hi all, I recently received a letter stating I owed around £3000 to a plastering contractor I hired on a labour only basis & that it would be taken to court to settle the matter. I immediately replied stating that as far as myself & my company were concerned the matter was dealt with & paid in full. Any further invoices were not just & would not be paid. A letter was sent to me stating that they (The Thomas Higgins Partnership) would speak with their client & contact me in due course. Another letter arrived today stating that their client was applying for the issuing of a claim against me. How is this possible? How can somebody just say "he owes me x & I'm going to get it" The amount owing varies on both letters, and it would appear that (THP) have not even begun to listen to my side. What should I do now?
