I like his point that they are probably bluffing if they send a big wordy letter with lots of precedent cases etc. A friend of mine (who is a lawyer) told me something similar; when they see a letter like that they expect they're probably full of crap. His reply is normally much more curt: "Please confirm that you are authorised to receive proceedings on behalf of your client". If I got that, I'd be worried.
- rmc 16y agoI'm not sure I follow. How does asking "Please confirm that you are authorised to receive proceedings on behalf of your client" frighten people?
- patrickyeon 16y agoIt seems to suggest to me that you're getting ready to fire back, in a legal manner. Getting ready to call their bluff, as it were.
- ZoFreX 16y agoIt's unemotional, calm, collected, and the absolute right thing to do. You want to serve proceedings but are making sure first they go to the right people. There's no bluffing, bragging, intimidation, it's simply getting down to business. I can see why that would be a lot scarier than threats to some people.
