Cost of Automated Letters

[karonus]

Elsewhere on the list there are various mentions of evidence of how much the automated letters cost.

 

Well I can give an example of automated letters I use. In my job of recovering debts from corporations I use the services of a large solicitors firm who specialise in debt recovery. They charge me £2.50 for a simple Letter Before Action (LBA - a 7 day letter) and £5.00 for an LBA with interest and compensation on.

 

In the first instance I simply fax the company name and address and amount pursued. The second I have to add the details of all invoices outstanding.

 

In both cases the information will have to be entered onto their system to generate the automated letters, albeith they will be unique due to the information contained.

 

Are these letters any different to those issued by the banks, indeed I believe that the work involved by the Solicitors is more than that carried out by the banks which will probably be truly automated.

 

I of course will use this as evidence should my claim get that far.
