My Builder says that he has send me a demand letter (U.P.C), which I did not receive and now he is asking me to pay interest on the amount I was suppose to pay. But should I pay this interest when I didn’t even receive the U.P.C? But he says that I received the first letter and the last one, therefore the middle letter I should have received as I did not change my address. I have been searching the web for some answers and found some…
The Supreme Court has observed that when some important communication is sent, the best way is to either lodge the same personally or send it by registered post and not by UPC.
It has been held by courts in many other cases that in case of UPCs, the receipt of which is denied by the addressee, then the onus to prove that the letter was posted and received by the addressee rests on the sender. So can some one please tell me, what I should do in this case? I know I didn’t do any thing wrong, but I would like to go to the courts as a very last resort.
