They tried to sue me-they failed miserably.
One of the stupidest letters I have ever received.
I was once an associate for a company called the Utility warehouse. Let me tel you of one of the stupidest letters they ever sent out.
On 3 October 2018 the Utiity warehouse sent me a lawyer’s letter threatening to take me to court for an unpaid bill. I wrote back to them with the email below.
You can see why they never pursued it.
My email of response
Without prejudice save as to costs.
Moriarty law reference 361057
Client Utility warehouse limited.
Client account number 4075164
Customer James Bond
Thank you for your letter of 3rd October 2018 in response to a debt of £550.23 which I allegedly owe the Utility warehouse.
I suggest you check your documentation. You will see as of 31 December 2013 my account was in credit (see below.). Soon after this the account was terminated and moved to Momentis energy who headhunted me after the UWDC terminated my distributorship in a neo-nazi fashion. (D25980)
You will, of course, note that you cannot move an energy account from one supplier to the next unless the account is cleared of arrears. The UWDC did threaten court proceedings at the time and if you check your records you will see that I paid the debt and the action was withdrawn. At the time I was signed off with stress and in court, I will reveal that with appropriate medical evidence. Your clients action at the time did not help.
Should you pursue your action against me I will have no choice but to do the following.
I will reveal how the UWDC performed a huge breach of the data protection act in November 2012. You will see below that they emailed out some 2400 team leaders. Instead of putting the email addresses in the blind copy box they put them in the cc box. In court, this would come out on the public record. The judge would no doubt refer the matter to the Information Commissioner who would then have to take severe action against the UWDC. Imagine the damage I could do with the court transcript?
I would also reveal how they terminated my distributorship. A letting agent got hold of my UWDC business card and got a bunch of students to sign up without paying the deposit (an idea I wholly support.) They defaulted, moved away as students do and a huge debt accumulated. I only found out that my distributorship was cancelled the day I was signing up a new distributorship. I went to my website which wasn’t there. I phoned up the company who told me that my distributorship had been terminated. I never got a letter or any form of notification. Again this would come out in the public record and no doubt this would do considerable harm to the UWDC’s attempts to recruit more distributors. All I would need to do in such circumstance is show the court transcript to all and sundry. I was never given a chance to explain myself. That was the case in Nazi Germany.
I would reveal that you are taking me to court for an account that is in credit that will cause you considerable embarrassment (see below), especially since I will make an order for discovery at the directions hearing to force you to reveal that your client has in its material possession documentation that shows my account is in credit. You would no doubt try to lie to the court showing you don’t have such documentation and I would go and produce it. This is a perversion of the course of justice for which the judge would no doubt refer you to the Crown Prosecution Service. The CPS takes a referral from a judge very seriously.
I would tell the court that I have been in touch with a former UWDC trainer who has told me of the slowing of the growth of the UWDC. It speaks volumes that the sign-up fee has gone down from £100 to some £10.
I will tell the court that the UWDC claimed to have top quality customer service but had a 0844 number to dial (costing some 10–15p per minute to dial.) You could not choose a date to pay. Worse still customer services was not open at evenings and weekends.
I will also reveal how at one masterclass the great (name removed) agreed to take me under his wing and help me get to National Marketing Director.He said I had all the attributes because at the masterclass I answered all his questions. He was very impressed at how I told the audience the way of how to use the cashback card to get cashback on your council tax.
I will also tell the court that I brought (name removed) to speak 4 times and at the 4th occasion hindered the event.
I would also counter-claim against your client for the loss of earnings of some £100 per month due to the neo-nazi way my distributorship was cancelled.
I would refer you to the case of Dunnett v Railtrack Plc (Costs) [2002] EWCA Civ 303 (22 February 2002) I have offered a low-cost solution and as such if I lose you cannot claim costs.
You will, of course, note that I am no ordinary litigant. I promise you here and now I will tear you apart in court and cause you considerable embarrassment.
I look forward to your reply within 14 days of this email.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Mr Bond
Thank you for your email.
I tried to call you today but you could not be reached on (number removed) or the other two- (number removed) or (number removed)which are the number we have for contact on the residential account.
I can confirm that both payments have been received.
Curiously however, you appear to have a small credit on each account account:
6329941 — £1.51
4075164 — £1.57
I think that has been accrued from paying perhaps a little over the amount owed on one occasion. Subtract these amounts from the next payment you make to us for each account to balance things out.
I trust that this clarifies the situation for you.
Should you require any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to respond to this email, or call our Customer Services team on 0844 815 7777.
Kind regards,
Ms. T. Goldstone

Their reply?
I never got one. Why?
A better alternative
I have a range of options to help you have multiple sources of income. Please read below
The problem facing mothers
Many couples in the UK cannot afford to have more children. When you go on maternity leave your income halves.
Minimum wage is £7.83 per hour for those over 25.
Let’s assume you work for 40 hours per week
That equates to £313.20 per week.
After tax and national insurance that works out at £274.38.
Childcare per child is £45 per child per day.
Assuming you work for 5 days that works out at £225 per week.
Hence a mother who returned to work would take home £274.38-£225= £49.38 per week.
That works out at £1.23 per hour over a 40 hour week.
Many people are on zero hour contracts so they don’t know one week to the next if they have work.
Inflation is 3%. Wage rises if you are lucky are 1%. Hence your wages are worth less and less.
Hence many people cannot afford to have kids.
Worse still many people can’t afford to put anything into a private pension. So they retire on the state pension of £113 per week- around 40% of what they were struggling to live on to start with. Hence so many pensioners work in supermarkets.
I help young ladies (and gentlemen!) to earn more money using legal methods so they can afford to be full-time parents. In many cases, I have helped them replace their income so that they are financially free. Some get a 1–2% pay rise every month. Many people are lucky if they get a 1% pay rise a year.
What is network marketing?
I have some good news and bad news.
The bad news is we sometimes have recessions.
The good news is that the network marketing industry has not been affected.
The reason being that. Most people do network marketing every day of the week.They just don’t get paid for it. It’s all about recommending and promoting.
For example.
If I said to you “Those strawberries at the local green grocers are great you should get some.”
That’s network marketing.
Its something you do every day of the week. With expert fashion without even thinking about it.
So what would you prefer? To get paid for something you normally do anyway.
OR.
Not get paid? Well if you want to get paid. There is a catch!
You need to do several things.
Don’t you DARE change anything about yourself.
Continue to recommend and promote like you always have done.
Using skills you already have which we would just help you fine tune using a tried and tested system. We’d show you how to get a nice income. The rest is up to you.
Ask yourself two questions.
Firstly what is stopping you finding out more? Secondly what will be easier for you? To live payday to payday as you may be doing now?
OR.
To invest a sum of £65 Work 30 minutes a day unpaid. On a tried and tested system. All training is given.
In most cases you ask people a few scripted questions, you text them a youtube link and ask them to listen to it on the way home. When they get home get me or one of my colleagues on the phone. We do the rest. Enjoy the money and duplicate.
By the time your kids get to school, you can be a full-time mother on full-time pay, earning more part-time from home in between school runs than hubby does full time from work.
In 5–7 years you can retire on full pay. With a pay rise every few months.
This is what happens when you join our team and work with us.
I am assuming that you are living payday to payday. I am assuming that you go to the supermarket and either buy own brand or the cheapest available. I am assuming that come Christmas you buy the cheapest presents for your loved ones and you are paying it off well into the next year. I am also assuming the same applies to your holidays.
After 12 months following the tried and tested system you can kiss that goodbye. You can go to the supermarket and buy what you want without worrying about the bill. Come christmas you can shop to your heart’s content because you can afford it and still have some left over. When it comes to your holidays you’ll pay them off before you go. You won’t be living payday to payday because your income will go up every month. You’ll no longer be at the mercy of your employer.
What you have to do when you join our team.
In many cases you ask people some scripted questions. Text them the link to a video and ask them to listen to it whilst driving on the way home (or watch on the bus.)
When they get home get them on a skype 3-way call with me or a member of my team and we do the rest.
Or.
Ask people some scripted questions. Get them on a live presentation which we do at 10pm at night. If need be get a team member on a skype 3-way call and we do the rest. Most mobile phones can accommodate the skype app as can most computers.
Remember all training is given- we just fine tune skills you already possess.
Conclusion
Get your facts right before you take someone to court.
