Is the Company your previous employer still trading ?

It is indeed...

Cheers

It wasn't my company no, it was a company i worked for

- the direct debit came out of my account and then i claimed the business milage back from the company

(crappy way of doing it i know!)

The last payment was probably 2013, but i cant be sure, as i have no documentation from them.

No personal guarantee i believe - as it wasn't my company....

Whats my step now?

Am i best to reply to their letter and ask them for copies of agreements?

and then depending on what those agreements say,

go back and advise that they should be contacting the company and not myself?

Thanks for your replies guys!

I'm assuming so, but can't remember as it was so long back.

Nor can I not understand why it wasn't paid or why this is the first I'm hearing about it.

As I said, it was in the name of the company I worked for st the time too.

Originally £600, plus interest and potential court fees, close to 1k

Do I reply or ignore ?

ill add it on shortly, may have to take some photos rather than scan!

I had a card which i used for fuel (personal and business fuel) which was on direct debit ( i cant find anything relating to it now - statements/agreemnets etc)

from memory the card had my companies name on it, but was registered to my address at the time......

Pictures attached

Thanks for your help

Hi

I have today received a letter from flint bishop chasing a debt that i don't recall.

The debt is from 2013 and says it relates to an outstanding invoice from "fuel genie"

They have attached a "mock" (unstamped) court claim form on it

What do i do now?

Worried about this as i don't want it to effect my credit rating...

Cheers

Sorry for the delay, i tried contacting the "sherrifs office" a couple of times and they said someone would contact me back and never has.

I guess there is no where i can go with this now? ?

i spoke to the court, and the bloke i spoke to didnt have a clue what i was talking to and told me to attend court anyway!

So basically, once i attend court, and they dont set the judgement aside (which they wont, beause no one is going to turn up from the company), what do i do once i have the CCJ in the name of the liquidated company?

Thanks

Thank you, will call them again tomorrow.

Just out of interest, do you have any idea what this proxy form is that ive recvied from this solicitor that will be acting as the insolvency practitioner?

I did, couldnt get hold of anyone to speak to when i called the court, however i did write to them and havent heard anything back!

Does the company going into liquidation mean i have no chance now?

Or does what ive read about "piercing the corporate veil" apply?

Right, they have also registered another LTD company, same address as the last, different name.

Is there anything i can do at all? :/

HELP!!

I have today received a letter from a solicitors acting on behalf of the company

The director of the company having regard to its financial position, has decided to take steps to place the company into creditors voluntary liquidation

What does this mean??

It says i have to fill in a proxy form and a statement of claim form, what can i do now??

Will this do?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this in reference to my ongoing claim, referenced above.

I would like to put it in writing that I object to the application of setting the judgement aside, I do so on the basis that on the date of the hearing, a representative of **** failed to turn up to the hearing at all, despite the fact they were fully aware of the date for several months in advance.

 

I would also like to add that should the application for the judgement to be set aside, I would like to claim for my costs of further attending the court, including loss of earnings and travel expenses.

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you in due course,

 

 

Yours Sincerely,

They are simply playing the system. You should contact the court and tell them that you object to the application as the respondent failed to bother to turn up at court. Also that you want to apply to add your costs of attending (loos of earnings and travel etc) if the judge agrees to the application. It is for him to decide but as I see it, there case isn't strong enough thus there is no reason to set judgement aside. The court office should be able to advise you of your options.

 

But at the end of the day, it is up to the judge... he may simply reject the respondent's application.

Thankyou,

Do i just send a letter to the main court address?

Thanks

Yes....

Sorry for the delay..

I went to court, they didnt turn up, i got judgement,

Then out of the blue i get a letter to say the court have had an application to set the judgement aside, and i have to attend a hearing in January now.

What does this mean? how is this fair when i have already got a judgement ?

Thanks

Guys,

I have now received a letter from a solicitor acting on their behalf, after i sent an email offering them a final chance of settlement.

I don't have the letter to hand but it basically stated i didn't give them chance to resolve the issue (LOL!!) and they would offer me a full refund of the price paid for the car (Id still be £600 out of pocket, no thanks!) and they stated that i test drove the vehicle before i purchased it, i didn't, i wasn't offered a test drive.

So ive replied to them stating all the correct facts and again advising them of their obligations, hopefully they will see that they wont win in court.

In the mean time, my MCOL claim has been transfered to Leeds court (near me, and 4+ hour drive for the dealers) so thats a good thing

Guys,

On the directions questionnaire, it says i must return it to the court, and serve copies on other parties,

does this mean i have to send a copy of it to the car company?

Thanks

Also, for reference,

If either of you received speeding penalty points, your insurer would require you to inform them straight away.

Driving with your points not declared on your insurance, in the event of an accident could result in your insurer refusing to pay anything but 3rd party costs.

Thanks for that Sailor Sam

i did try and PM you as i valued your previous advice

Obviously i intend to proceed with things, whats next, once ive returned this form will i be allocated a court date?

If it got that far, is a judge likely to look at their defence etc and just vote in my favour?

Thanks

anyone? Really stuck @ what to do.

Thanks

I have recieved the particulars of claim today:

The claimant collected the vehicle and paid in full, at this time, all known defects with the vehicle were disclosed to the claimant.

The claimant was aware of the condition of the vehicle prior to making the transaction, however proceeded

the vehicle was priced substantially lower than the market value to reflect its condition. this was again noted and accepted by the claimant at the time of purchase.

The claimant has failed to verify the costs he claims to have incurred in this matter, and further they appear ever escalating.

The claimants letter to the defendant denotes a quote of £380 however the claim has been issued for £610 + costs.

The claimant has therefore either grossly elaborated this claim or has failed to mitigate his loss by not undertaking the most cost effective repair.

In compromise, the defenant is willing to repurchase the vehicle from the claimant for the purchase price paid in full and final settlement

I have no idea what to do now?

I dont want to accept their offer as i will have still lost money,

I have this questionnaire N180 to fill in, then i assume it will go to court then?

I have 9 days left to send this paper work back, could someone be so kind as to advise me? :/

The letter also says i may seek to settle the claim by either direct discussion or negotiation with the other party, do i do this before i send this form back?

Thanks

Right,

i need help now,

I submitted request for a judgement yesterday due to no response, and today it now says this:

 

 

Your claim was issued on 28/05/2013

You submitted a judgment against *** on 18/06/2013 at 07:07:49

**** issued an acknowledgment of service on 19/06/2013

 

 

What does that mean? If it means what i think, how come they can submit it after their 14 days was up?

My judgement status is requested.

Thanks

Anyone?

have you submitted the claim yet

Nope :-\ sadly gotta wait until payday!

amount of the claim plus costs and interest looking likely the figure will be enough to engage High Court Sherrif Bailiffs. Much cheaper than County Court bailiffs and more effective.

Thanks for that!

What's the threshold high court?

Understood,

If i get a judgement, and dont get the money... What are my options then?
