3 step process – SPER – Time to reply
Hi everyone. I have begun a 3 step process, an equitable estoppel, using the templates from the Module 9 “Knowing How To Hold Your Position”. Following my BOE for a SPER Enforcement Order.
As well as sending my invoices to them.I have sent my “Notice and Demand” giving them 7 days to reply. I noticed they received it 6 days later, with only 1 day to reply.
My questions are:
With SPER only receiving it a day before the 7 days, would they still technically have 72 hours to respond regardless of what date I told them to reply?,
and would this not really matter as I notice them 3 times, so the limited reply is extended by offering them another 7 days each time?Could it be best or look better later if I give them 14 days for the other notices, or would it be best to stay consistent with the time limit on each notice?
I know these aren’t major issues, but I’m interested and want to fine tune my method while I’m learning.
Any ideas or thoughts on how others would go about this, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If it was my process I would stick to whatever I had told them in the notices, especially if it was my first notice as I would be giving them two more chances to reply..

Perfect, I printed everything already with 7 days, so I’m glad you suggested this haha. Thanks

Also by the time they receive your second notice it will probably be more than 72 hours since your first one, hence they still have time to reply within 72 hours before receiving the second one. Here’s a comment from another member…
<font color=”#000b31″><font face=”Helvetica, serif”><font size=”4″>”I am almost certain ‘Delivery’ equals ‘Acceptance’. You seem to know the article has landed. That’s lawfully sufficient. If they don’t check their box it’s not your concern. I can go a step further and from memory, also from memory of Mark’s comments, the date we dispatch is the delivery. Not the date the respondent receives it. So, for example we serve a notice with a particular date and terms that require a response within 28 days. It’s 28 days of the date of our Notice, which is also our dispatch date. That’s the ‘delivery’ date, lawfully.”</font></font></font>
