Do any of you ever find yourself loosing track of the importance of certain dates. Very recently, I made the mistake of taking a booking (Christmas week) and only charging the normal fee. Forgot it was Christmas week, but thankfully, its not Xmas eve, or New Years eve.

I don't put my prices up for December anyway, apart from NYE, so it wouldn't affect me.

Rubbish - unless they actually agree to something then it isn't binding.... you haven't got the basic legal principles required for a contract: offer & acceptance

First question: do you send all your post by recorded delivery?

Would this be considered "fair" by the Office of Fair trading or under the "Unfair Contract Terms Act ???

Have you checked?

Easier to tell them they are not" booked anymore" I would have thought

very fair under CCJ rulings its classed a as a verbal agreement first. this would be the documentary half confirming it to be signed verifying the booking

and no just the main computer used area steve stop picking bones guys this has worked in county court and first class post is usually sufficient

This is not acceptable language in any contract, no one in their right mind would sign this anyway, and as said it is not legally binding. Despite the fact that in certain circumstances "the absence of a signed contract, does not mean that a contract does not exist". This is the case with Employment Law etc. It would not apply in our case, as the client cannot be proved to have agreed to the terms in the first instance.

Did you quote the wrong person there?

I'm confused!

a verbal agreement over the phone is binding as long as a documentary version follows within 7 days within the courts eyes and you have proof of the later the rest can be proven via you phone bill if itemised

My contract has held 3 times in county court with the backing of a good solicitor most people will back down as long as the required letters requesting payment are sent according to your terms and conditions?????
