Icon DCA and footballmundial.debt *RESOLVED*

[Crabstick]

Just received the exact same letter - with an amount I don't recognise. I did give notice to withdraw from the league as they were holding games without qualified refs and there were lots of fights etc

 

Am wondering just how likely the CCJ is to go ahead?

Nobody knows. Thats why its best to counter them fast.

I will call them Monday and ask for a breakdown of the amount they have suggested.

 

Have meantime sent an email to Football Mundial asking them why I have heard nothing since my request to leave the league and now this.

 

Will let you know how I get on

It is suggested that you don't call them, as they will only be interested in payment. Plus you have nothing in writing.

 

When dealing with debt issues, it is always best to write asking for the information and to make any formal dispute. Keep a copy of letters posted and proof of posting.

 

In your position, I would suggest that you don't ask for a breakdown of the debt, as that is not the point you are currently making. I would suggest that you send a formal dispute letter, just advising that you have been in dispute with Football Mundial due to the issues (list them), for which Football Mundial have not responded to.

 

Due to the small amount involved, I suspect ICON will pass it back to Football Mundial, as if there is a dispute they will not want to be involved. This is because, if a court claim was ever issued, you could defend on the basis of broken contract by Football Mundial, for which you had previously advised them of.

Thanks for the sound advice. I'll draft the letter as above, and give copies to both football mundial and icon collections.

 

Great timing from them though!!!!

[Crabstick]

Update - I have spoken with Football Mundial and reminded them of my dispute. They have accepted to not charge me for the "unplayed" games that came after my requested withdrawal from the league. They are maintaining that there is some short payments that are applicable. The total amount has gone from £317 to £83. Which I am happy to settle to close the file.

 

My question to anybody now is… how do I know that the file is closed at ICON COLLECTION ? Should I request something in writing from them too ?

[unclebulgaria67]

Settle with the football people for the revised amount and ask them to confirm that Icon will not contact you again.

[silverfox1961]

Can you email football mondial and get them to confirm in writing. Do not rely on what is said on the phone.

 

With Icon, a simple message to go forth as the dispute is settled with t'other.

[Crabstick]

Football Mundial have stated that the debt must be paid to ICON. I've asked ICON the correct name that should be on the cheque, they are yet to reply.

 

Football Mundial accept that if they want me to pay the collection company, I can't make any payment until ICON acknowledge that debt is settled at this reduced amount.

 

For this reason - I'm waiting it out

[Crabstick]

All of this has been done via enail

[renegadeimp]

You pay the OC. NOT a tinpot DCA. Ask FM, why they are refusing to accept payment.

[Crabstick]

FM have agreed to receive direct payment

 

The case is closed

[silverfox1961]

A very well done for getting a resolution satisfactory to you.

 

I will mark this as resolved
