No worries.. thanks again!

Thank you both. When I can afford to I will of course donate. I was going to ask about possibly claiming some of my expenses back I’m still really stressed from this case dragging out this long though and don’t really want to open up a can of worms when it’s been dealt with.. not sure I could handle it!

Received a letter from claimants solicitor dated 13th January. Enclosed was a cover letter stating that any hearing that may be listed is now “vacated” . There is also a copy of the “Notice of discontinuance.” Is this finally the end?

Oh right ok.. the latter part to your response seems more appropriate.. I will be able to pm you a bit later on

is it possible to private message you the pdf files i used? It contains sensitive information and it could prove vital to your viewpoint if the sensitive information was blocked out.. i filed the defence via post on paper quite a while ago so i don't have the exact words i used sorry

ok great.. i have emailed the form off. I actually forgot to ask the judge at the appeal court about my costs it totally slipped my mind i was anxious in there and very forgetful. The defence i filed was just re emphasising the fact that i cancelled my account on the set date & i had more evidence to back it up. 82 pages of comms notes narrowed down to 4 or 5 pages.

Oh right ok.. I will send them a copy over via email but is there still a way to claim my costs back?

Thank you for the quick responses.. I thought counterclaim meant claiming the costs back.. I was only given a date to file my defence by which I did and the judge mentioned I didn’t need to send my evidence in i’m assuming because the copy he had was sufficent.. The claimant keeps emailing me asking for the proof yet I’m reluctant to send it to them directly because they didn’t bother to turn up and see me in the appeal court.

I will do that this evening .. is there any kind of format I can look at as an example to fill it in?

Well.. I filed my defence by the deadline and today I wake up to a letter saying if I don’t return an N180 directions questionnaire by the 15th December my defence will be struck out and the Claimant shall be at liberty to request judgement.. So considering today is the 16th December and it’s landed on my doorstep a day after the deadline am I in trouble? Also… the claimant keeps emailing me asking for the evidence. I responded by saying if they met me at my appeal meeting in Preston which cost me a lot of money to get there etc they would of seen it.. I also mentioned that isn’t the evidence plainly obvious if a judge has granted an appeal and set a judgement aside? So now I ask.. what cause of action should I take? I’m going to call the court once I receive a response on here. I honestly thought this was over and dealt with. Do I have grounds to apply for a counterclaim? The photocopying & transport has left me out of pocket and considering they wanted to charge me £180 costs in my first hearing. Thanks

Update: attended hearing in person to gain permission to appeal. Outcome: Permission to appeal granted , claimants solicitor was a no show so permission to add further evidence granted. Bigger news: Default judgement set aside. Have to file a defence by 14th October. Hooray!! I will contact my local court and find out how I can submit my defence. does this mean the judgment will be automatically removed ? Or do I need to contact the court that awarded the default judgement? Thank you everybody for your help! Edit: by to my typo before defence..

Update: Appalent’s notice sent off (x3) aswell as the notice served to claimant. It has been now been transferred to a different court.

Update: Filed an appellant’s notice 3x copies to the court asking for permission to appeal. The grounds I used were the judge made a hasty decision trying to save costs rather than giving me a fair hearing . Also stated the fact the decision was made from a completely false scenario presented from the claimants solicitor . Namely me “forgetting to cancel the tv part of my account”. Thanks guys

I’d be looking to claim my costs back from the claimants solicitor , this debt is not owed and I was given the wrong verdict.

I was asking about the appeals process , filling in the appalent form and seeing what grounds I could use to file for an appeal . Thanks

Anybody? Thanks

Is there an appeals process I can follow? I’ve been back on my SAR from sky and the representative has clearly stated that the TV was restricted so there was nothing to cancel. It’s only when my ex has started paying it that is was activated again. The judge was quite obnoxious and accepted a fiction/fantasy story from the claimants that I had “forgot” to cancel the TV aswell as my broadband and phone. How they can make such an assumption and a judge believed it is beyond my comprehension

Set aside declined. Judge said my cancellation letter wasn’t sufficient enough to prove I had cancelled the TV aswell as the broadband Etc. Also got to pay £160 costs for that suit on the other end of the phone for turning up. Livid.

That is brilliant news and exactly the hope i needed . Thank you so much dx!

I was just wondering if that was sufficient enough proof about my cancellation

Did you manage to see the cancellation letter I uploaded? Thank you

Hi dx yes I uploaded it the date is on one of the first paragraphs dated 20/09/2016 . Thank you

Nope I haven’t posted it yet I need to edit the personal details from it so I can upload it. I didn’t do the charge back or anything like that. It’s my ex partner that has done this to me. We used sky in my name because she’s black listed from everywhere. Thank you for your reply . It’s a very good and important point I need to bring up. 40 - 19.09.2016.pdf

Great stuff. The PDF file I have with a 2016 cancellation date has been sent to the court and confirmed as being added to my case file. Is there any other angles they might want to try and throw at me I should be wary of and be prepared for? Thanks!

Ok I will do this later, thank you . Did you manage to read any of it?
