Should the management company follow pre-action protocol?

Hi everyone, I provided a properly worded legal letter to my management company agent, authorising them to contact my lender for payment.
The agent chose to hold onto this letter and is now threatening to pass the case to their solicitors for recovery after six months. Shouldn’t they follow the Pre-Action Protocol before taking legal action, and can I argue that the Letter of Authority was already provided?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Luci

Not sure what this is about. Is the Managing Agent wanting money from you? Why should they do the donkey work, isn’t oit for you to get the money and then pay their claim?
