In April I bought a VCDS cable from Ross-tech and it was shipped by Fed-Ex. I bought it when I was on leave in the UK and went back to Germany soon after. Since then all my mail has been building up at my mum's and over Christmas I finally got around to sorting it all out.
I have found an invoice dated 12/05/08 from FedEx with a copy of the Ross-tech invoice attached to it asking for £25.67 for VAT and an administration charge.
I have found another letter dated 15/05/08 from Fed-Ex stating that:
'On entering the country your goods have attracted Import Tax & Charges levied by HM Revenue & Customs'
and that they were unable to contact me by phone so I was to call them.
Then there is a third letter from a company called Avance dated 21/05/08 (only 9 days after the invoice!) which is a FORMAL DEMAND threatening legal action if required.
Well it's now January and there are no more letters, no phone calls and no big men have arrived at the door so what should I do?
