Dear
I write further to your letter dated (date).
On (date) you wrote to me demanding the sum of (£TBC). On (date) I responded to you advising that (I had no knowledge of the alleged debt) /(the sum demanded by you had been paid in full on (date)) yet you have again written to me demanding payment.
Despite my previous requests, you have provided me with no evidence of the alleged debt. You have ignored the content of my letter and instead instructed debt collectors who have threatened that legal action may follow if I don’t pay in full.
I would remind you that court action should be seen as an absolute last resort and that prior to action being commenced you should ensure that you have disclosed full details of the claim against me and all documents in support of your case. Should legal action be taken against me I will ensure that your failure to send sufficient details of the alleged case against me will be brought to the judge’s attention.
In closing I would invite you one final time to either forward to me full details of the case against me or to discontinue the action you are taking.
Yours faithfully
