  1. Hi BankFodder, Sorry to bother on Sunday eve. Any thoughts on my case? Thanks
  2. Thanks BankFodder. as requested attached is Claim form in PDF and defence. "==" is used to hide names Thanks again. ClaimPDF.pdf
  3. Hi Guys, received letter today in post, claim is reinstated
  4. the report and defence is quite big and too many personal details of names.
  5. Yes I know. it was my mistake not to put here. but then I thought this would be thrown out and I was relying on expert witness. we were told to hire kitchen manufacturing expert with no connections to either of us. we could not find one so we agreed one who is a kitchen seller comes up first in google search "kitchen expert witness" due to time lines given by judge.
  6. ok Story as below in short. It's a claim between me and kitchen provider. In July 2017 we did a house rebuild and one of the must have's was a German kitchen. Initially we ordered a Kitchen via Schmidts, later on our builder told us about his Mrs's company who does kitchens and tiles. The price for the kitchen from the new company was more than Schmidts, we still went ahead, cancelled Schmidts, paid 50% deposit and ordered hoping they will deliver a German or at least high end kitchen. The company was closing its kitchen business so no real kitchen to see. when the units came we could see that its not high end, just bespoke boxes and units. when we complained we were told there was nothing they could do, we got what we saw. The builder did a big mess in fitting the kitchen units and at the end i scrapped that kitchen and went back to Schmidts and ordered a new one. The company was chasing me initially in 2017 for balance 50% but I was adamant that this is not the kitchen we hoped for. They chased me with a few letters in until Feb 2018. In Sept 2021 they a submitted a claim for 50% plus some money for the tiles. I had already paid cash for the tiles to the builder. "transaction with builder was in cash" Dec 2022 we had a preliminary hearing and the judge said hire a expert witness who can submit the report. the expert witness went to the company's shop and later visited my house and finally his report was that we got what we saw. LOL. the report is in claimant's favour. may be in 1 line he did mentioned my existing kitchen has top end fittings and accessories. I was expecting him to compare the kitchen units with German kitchen. as per expert witness there is no such German kitchen in world. I was ready to fight out in court with all the story but now the claim is struck out due to late payment. the company had 7 months to pay the hearing fee. That's the story ENJOY reading.
  7. Hi Guys, Recently a claim was struck out due to late payment of hearing fee. "I am defendant" Claimant is trying to reinstate the claim by writing to court and other process if available. I was wondering what are the chances of judge reinstating the claim with no hearing was done and is there a time line within which claimant needs to apply to resintate? Thanks Bill
  8. Hi Guys, A judgement was ordered recently to pay one of my debts. I have paid it within a month and today I have received a letter showing proof. What's the next steps to do avoid CCJ appear on my credit file? Thanks
  9. Hi Guys, Hope all is well. hearing on 22nd July. witness arrived with a big bundle of statements. Please advise. claimants WS.pdf Def notice and assignment letter also attached. Thanks defNotice.pdf
  10. None of the q's on the N180. to begin pleasantries exchanged and then straight to offer and negotiations. They were offering a monthly plan I said if I agree to that they will bind me into agreement. don't know what will happen but at least others will learn from my mistake. Thanks dx for the suport Regards
  11. I did started with saying they haven't provide enough information. The mediator mentioned they don't have any documents to verify she is only here to mediate and come up with offer. The claimant is willing to negotiate and settle out of court so I started with 20%, few calls back and fourth and at the end nothing happened. Sorry dx may be I messed up
  12. Hi dx, the mediation call finished today. I tried negotiating the amount to 20% just to avoid the court. but at the end I decided let it go to court. Claimant was stuck at 75% not reducing any more, so I thought its no point discussing more. The mediator did explained it will cost you more if it goes to court and if you loose a judgement as well. Lets see what happens. I hope I did right thing,
  13. Hi Dx Getting txt message from HMRC, "Small Claims Mediation Service: Telephone Mediation 2020-10-27 from 13:00 - 16:30. If you can't answer YES to all statements, mediation is NOT suitable for your case and you must contact us to cancel" After reading lot of post, Should I contact them and cancel stating "The claimant has still yet to comply with my CPR 31.14 request with regard to clarity of any valid default notice issued, as yet I have never received an original or seen a copy of a valid default notice from the claimant." or Should I wait on the day and then answer ? Thanks
