Letter Before Claim - Overdue Account - Chess Telecom

[uptheblues]

Hi.

 

I am new to the forum so hope that this is the correct area to be posting this.

 

I have just received a letter from an old internet provider Chess Telecom.

 

They are claiming that I have an outstanding amount with them of less than £50.

 

When we moved providers I was told over the phone that the account was clear.

 

I left during contract because the service I was on was being terminated and again was told that I wouldn't be held to my contract minimum period.

 

To add to this we actually signed up with another provider which was then bought by Chess Telecom I think or had a merger or something.

 

They are threatening legal action with court fees, interest, solicitors fees and so on.

 

Should i just pay this to avoid fees or what,

I am not sure.

 

I am lucky to be in a position where money is not tight s

o I have been thinking pay it to avoid the hassle but morally think I should fight.

We left the provider 8-9 months ago.

they'd have to prove otherwise.
