If you have heard any of the above excuses, you need a Rottweiler so contact Rodney Hylton-Potts on 020 7381 8111 or email law@rhplaw.co.uk.
Tell him about the money you are owed and he will, free of charge, advise you on the options costs and timing. A ‘Rodney’ special letter is not one that people ignore or put inder the clock.
