A couple of years ago, my ex-landlord agreed to settle a dispute out of court by paying me £10 a month by direct bank transfer, till he had paid £300 in total.

 

I have just checked my old bank statements, and discovered that he made his first four £10 payments, and has not made a payment since. :mad2:

 

Knowing him as I do, I don't believe that this was an accident.

 

Would I be within my rights to recommence the previous legal action, deducing £40 from the amount previously sought, and adding on the costs of the new legal action?

 

Or would the court expect me to first contact my ex-landlord and give him the opportunity to settle the outstanding debt?

 

I would far prefer the former, as my landlord is a rude and aggressive person who would probably mess me around further.

 

Just a further thought -

 

If I were to give him a non-negotiable deadline by which to pay the outstanding balance (say, a month), would that be likely to be deemed reasonable by the court, given that the entire debt should have been paid off by now?

Was this a tomlin order that the court were aware of?

Or the court khow nowt about this agreement?

 

What status is the claim at then?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

It wasn't a tomlin order (I live in Scotland, and I think Tomlin orders are purely for England?).

 

My ex-landlord and I reached an out of court agreement about a day before the court hearing, and we both emailed the court to advise that we had reached an out of court settlement and would not be proceeding.

 

As a result, the claim was cancelled by the court.

 

Thanks
