Good morning all
The company I work for needs some advice. They were renting premises from Company B (cannot use their name) and Company B failed to invoice them for utilities and rent. This was raised by our company but did not remedy the situation. We moved to new premises and Company B miraculously called us for outstanding monies. Our company does agree that we owe them money, however, we disagree as to the amount. Our company has not signed any documents as acknowledgement of debt.
Our company did however request 12 month terms to pay off the amount and this was granted. We did not start paying as we had a dispute regarding the total amount owed. The person in charge of the account from Company B has send us an email stating that if we do not pay, we will be handed over to the legal department even though we have a pending dispute and no signed acknowledgement of debt.
I would like to know:
1. Can we be handed over to the legal department even though we have a dispute and no acknowledgement of debt signed?
2. Our company will be paying weekly from July, will this affect anything?
Thank you in advance for any information or advice
