Thanks Andy you are are star donations on the way as without CAG i would not have pushed this all the way

well update as follows : Received email from courts stating that the claimant paid the fees on the 19th July . On the 21st July received a letter dated 19th July from lowlifes stating client has made a commercial decision to stop current legal proceedings ,and enclosed a copy of the Notice of discontinuancefiled at the court form N279 enclosed dated 19th July and signed by lowlifes legal administrator stating claimant discontinues all of the claim against the defendant ,however the judges name is blank Question what do i do now ? as i have till 26th july to send my WS , secondly why would the court state the claimant paid on the fees 19th july via email if they possibly saw a n279 from claimant ?? Also with ref to my credit file ,am i right that they should now remove this default ?and cannot bring this claim against me again ?? i have read on other posts that i should ask for costs if the claimant discontinues ?not bothered about these just need this closed for good without it being sold off to someone else to start the claim again . any advise would be great

thanks andy ,

I have tried calling the court since 12th july and after 7 days decided to email enquiries at the court address to see if the claimant has paid the court fee by the 11th july 4pm .....rECEIVED EMAIL FROM COURT STATING that the claimant paid on the 20th july ,(Does this mean that the claimant did not follow the court instruction and the claim shoiuld be struck out AS PER THE ORDER ?? Question. What date latest ,do i need to submit the WS (it states 14 days before hearing 8th aug 2017 ,i have been so busy at work and was hoping this would be struck out now as the claimant did not comply ...but it does seem they paid on the 20th july ....,,can i use this in the WS as well as point 1 post 75 NOT COMPLIED WITH BY THE CLAIMANT ? i will complete the WS this weekend and post here . I feel if i send my WS to Lwlifes they will then adjust their WS and send to me ...any ideas

thanks uncle pete

Thanks for the reply ,i am at the stage waiting for court date ,so started to work on WS as well

Pete have you completed and posted the WS ?

Checked MCOL today and claim transferred to ****County court on 7/4/17 , i have begun to already produce my witness statement some weeks ago whilst i was waiting for an update .I have not received anything else from lowlifes solicitors or tmobile from the SAR . One question , when i sent the CPR 31.4 request on the 30th Jan 2017 to the Cohen solicitors i had not received anything from them , but instead the file was transferred i believe to Lowlifes solicitors . does that mean i had also to request CPR 31.4 from Lowlives sols ? as this i have not done ,and will it go against me in my case ...
