wssoR Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Same thing happened to me when I got my Rsr bits from rhd japan, I tried arguing it as it had been about a month since I had received them, they threatened to take me to court which I couldn't be dealing with the hassle with so I just payed the £12.

Liam_D Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Its only £14 i would just pay it and avoid any future hassle it could cause. Quote
Wantaglanz Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 yeah they will just bombard you with letters otherwise dude Quote
Driver Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Its tax dude they will just pass it onto a debt collection agency ever for an amount as little as £14 as it doesnt cost them anything, aint worth the hastle and bad credit record for £14. Quote
ep_brad Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 i had the same with dhl about my hdi fmic from china from last year i just threw the letter away and havent heard anything since. Quote
robswrx Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Just be careful - if the letter is not from HM Revenue and Customs it is probably not VAT related. Most courier firms add 'handling' charges for transactions. Very easy to dispute - if they threaten with court action, question on what grounds. You are under no obligation to pay handling charges not outlined in the shipping confirmation. You are however oblidged to pay all duties. I have had this situation before and it is very easy to dispute. Check the documentation you received on the original parcel. Quote
