Can I charge an Admin Fee.

get an A4 envelope, fill it with shredded paper, make sure to add their letter last
post it to them with a freepost code FU2, they can't refuse mail being a business, you can as you are a residential customer
when some renault dealer messed me around, they got a string of such envelopes, cost them £10 each and that was a few years ago, suspect it is a lot more

This is a variation of my favourite trick with junk mail.post it to them with a freepost code FU2, they can't refuse mail being a business, you can as you are a residential customer

We are already on the MPS list as not wanting 'Junk' mail - warning 1
First letter - returned asking them not to contact again - warning 2
After that - take the contents, screw them into a ball and stuff them into the pre-paid envelope. Pop in the post. It will always be too thick to go as normal 'letter' post.
If I'm feeling particularly peed off that day I'll send the contents from one company to another company and vice versa.
I find kids love playing this 'stuffing the envelope' game and it can keep them amused for hours on rainy school holidays

your ex's inconvenience (re CCJ) is easily fixed with a simple court application, and your actions have proved that she didn't receive the summons so that's open-and-shut for her. Your issues may take a lot longer to resolve
i am not sure this is right, when i got a ccj against me (now removed for another reason) because a car insurance company messed up and I never got the summons, the court said it still counts as they deem it as having been served the moment it goes in the post not if and when i get it.jesta1865 said:

Streaky
To the OP, so long as you write to them to tell them that, as the letters are taking a significant amount of your time to deal with, any further letter will be subject to an administration fee of £50. Send it back by recorded delivery. They have absolutely no come-back then because by sending another letter they have accepted the terms of your contract.
We used to get a lot of bailiff related post when we moved into our student house 3.5 years ago. Once you start calling the bailiffs back to say the person no longer lives there and you don't know where they've gone - hey presto no more bother from the bailiffs.
HTH.
(Yes, i know you're not supposed to open post not addressed to you.)

I open ALL letters addressed to the house, had a lot of bailiffs trying to find the previous owners, gave them my details, solicitors and estate agents
bailiffs stopped, gave them as much info as possible including the mother of the scrote who let her self in after contracts exchanged to get the post... contacted solicitors and had the locks changed the same day
even had a special xmas present delivered to the house for some guy who got really confused as to where he lived, same road, different numbers totally

Bullst. I can walk into my bank on the day a Direct Debit has gone out (regardless of whether there is money in the account or not) and ask them to reverse it and they''ll do so without question or any charge.Yet if I don't go into the bank and let the automated systems cancel it they'll charge you!
