Hi Everyone
A little bit different
I am self employed and got a water cooler on a free trial on May 2013.
Deliveries continued etc and in September as I had not had any deliveries or visits from the company, in addition to the cost, I wrote to them and requested to collect the cooler and terminate the contract.
After a couple of letters, they wrote to me and said I was in a 5 yr contract - enclosed a copy of the contract which was signed by my receptionist (unauthorised)
They have since issued a Claim form through MMCS for an invoice which was £65 (which was disputed as it was n invoice in advance for cooler rental and cleaning - the cleaning has not happened) claim form now £251
I intend to defend this in full on 2 counts
1 As a self employed individual, I am the only authorised signatory
2 Breach of contract for not carrying out works invoiced for
3 No deliveries taking place (these happened every 2 weeks until AUgust)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
