Letter Of Claim for death of cat now Court Claim received.

[labrat]

I wouldn't worry at all about small claims btw

 

Not usually that intimidating and usually fairly easy to go through, if they haven't got the evidence the judge will throw it out

 

One question @dx100uk, is the protocol still notice 14 days before filing a claim?

 

Just I noticed that one of the text messages said the paperwork would be taken to @danyboy72 house within the day - wouldn't that be in breach of protocol?

 

apologies if I'm incorrect I've only done small claims a couple of times

Quick question

 

Page 4 of the appendix is an insurance claim for vets fees for burial/cremation

 

One of the notes from the vet says the cat was taken home for burial

 

Have they claimed some fees they weren't actually charged?

If it helps

 

Total requested is 1,029.14

Breakdown is 

Excess and admin for vets now is 317.20, I total excess and fees on receipt 317.20

 

Excess and admin for Shrubbery vets 146.24

Excess listed on receipts is 111.25 + a vet receipt (details not listed) for 34.99 so 146.24

 

Petrol costs 65.70 - 6 trips listed in letter no breakdown

 

Burial costs £42 - no receipt other than a claim of £192 to insurance for "vet fees burial/cremation" of which £150 was allowed

 

Cost of cat £500

Pedigree certificate and receipt included for 1x Bengal cat

 

It is stated in the letter that the burial was done by a local company however there is no receipt

 

Tracing it on Google maps the location of the cat is approx 5 miles from the first vets, and 18 miles from the second.

 

Pedigree "certificate" lists history, is missing registration number, the address is a semi detached house. Personally I suspect its someone who brought Bengals themselves flogging the kittens without registration, but there was a tica registered breeder with that name years ago (but apparently no internet presence)

Quick question

 

I notice you mentioned they were alternating between two addresses

 

Are these addresses near the barn? It seems odd that a "much loved" pedigree pet would be kept far from the home

 

Probably not that relevant a question mind you
