IMPORTANT INFORMATION, MUST READ
REGISTERED LETTERS.. DO NOT SIGN…
From 'Lawyers Talk: 8618'
Without Prejudice.
Dear all,
Something to ponder about when receiving registered letter.
How often do we take the trouble of opening the letter before
signing the Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter acknowledgement slip?
Read to find out more.... in future be cautious.
Open letters BEFORE signing to acknowledge receipt of
the Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter..!!!
Folks, the next time the postman or courier guy comes to
deliver a Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due)
Letter, a Certificate Of Posting Letter or Parcel, do the following:
a) Check who is it from..??
b) If you do not know the source, reject it.
If you accept it without knowing the source,
the following has happened and can happen to you too…
There have been cases where lawyers have done the following:
a) Mailed empty / sealed Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due)
Letter to people on behalf of their clients for some court case matter.
b) The Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter either,
consisted of brochures promoting sale of new real estate or
some car model or just an empty A4 size paper inside.
In normal circumstances, when one receives an empty letter or
junk mail, they will just tear it up and throw it away,
BUT BUT, here lies the danger:
a) You signed the Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due)
Letter acknowledgement card and it is returned to the law firm.
That signed Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter
acknowledgement card is proof that a letter was delivered and
confirms the delivery and can/will be used against you in court.
b) Same applies to the so very convenient
"CERTIFICATE OF POSTING" mail.
When the grace period for you to respond is over,
they quietly go to court and show proof that a Registered AD
(Acknowledgement Due) Letter was sent to you as a reminder
and you did not bother to defend it and thus convince the court
officials and get a judgement against you.
Next another Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter is
sent to you asking for damages approved by the court, or just
another empty envelope and you discard it once more and this
time the white collar crook will go to the court quietly and seek
the assistance of the court to seal/attach your property to recover
the amount awarded by the court and soon the court bailiff will
be at your door step to execute the order.
What happens next..?
You frantically call your relatives in disbelief and seek legal advise.
You are lost not knowing what's happening.
Anxiety, stress, palpitation, sleepless nights cannot be compensated
as this is a reality check. You engage a lawyer's firm, spend a
many thousand rupees for paper work and an appeal to the Higher court
to set aside this matter… and also spend several days in
court trying to prove your innocence.
What are your rights.??
a) You have every right to reject any mail / parcel that
comes from unknown sources, be it a debt collection company,
law firm or some individual.
b) You have every right to ask the postman or the person delivering
it to open the mail and let you see what is inside and
the contents of the letter.
c) REJECT IT if you are not comfortable… or
ask them to deliver to a law firm that you know.
d) If you have inadvertently signed and collected the empty
Registered AD (Acknowledgement Due) Letter/mail, lodge a
police report and also report to the bar council…
as this will help in your case to protect you…
if the matter goes to court.
Eye opener isn't it, crime is no longer just house break-ins and
snatch thefts where most of the thieves get a few hundred rupees…
BUT these days, the crooks come dressed in suits,
so be aware and be smart… or you will end up spending thousands
of rupees, many hours spent travelling to court or to your
lawyers office, not forgetting the stress, anxiety, sleepless nights, etc.
Do inform ALL your family members & staff....
NOT TO SIGN ON BEHALF OF ANYONE…
let the postman leave a card,
go check at the post office,
ask the postman to open and
show you what is inside the envelope…
or lastly…
if you are not comfortable, just reject it…
BUT DON'T SIGN WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IS INSIDE…!!
