Thanks,

The court date was printed on the letter as well and its set for early December if mediation does not go ahead.

What do you mean by "Entitlement to costs"?

The letter stated that if we choose mediation to call them within 7 days or if no contact it will go to court.

Received court papers offering phone mediation or a court appearance, misses whos name its in does not want to go to court so whats the best option.

Would like to go to court to be honest because that way they will have to pay £80 quid in fee's and they would have to provide proof of such debt but how can they provide that over the phone?

Any ideas?

True.

Thanks and I'll update as it goes.

What I mean is companies like this have a habit of producing receipts for payments made that in fact was created by themselves to validate their claim and show that payment has been made and its not statute barred.

Therefore what proof have I to show the judge that that's a false claim and no payment has ever been made within the last 7 years.

And what to say they do produce paperwork that says otherwise and we don't have anything to back that up as false.

True I suppose but considering its 7 years old we don't have any paperwork to back that up.

Thanks Andy but how can they decide on a case that over 7 years old, strange but we'll see.

Today received the following via post.

Blah Blah Blah

So I presume now its a case of waiting to see what the judge decides but I thought because of the time scale past I was hoping this had gone away for good, owe well.

Its taken 6 months to get this far, time does indeed fly.

Thanks.

Its 11/08/14 and still nowt from these numpties.

Owe well wanted a fight.

Good.

Well as of today we have still not heard a single thing from Carter.

Thanks Andy your a life saver and puts my mind at rest.

Been reading up on a few threads and one was Carter sent letters or the courts placing said claim into a local court and the date was set and a few days before Carter dropped out.

I'm hoping for the same as they very well know its well over 7 years.

Thanks bud

Yeh just been reading up thanks.

So now again its a waiting game and if they wish to continue or not.

Do they have a time limit now since the DQ was submitted or is it left to the courts>

DQ?

So they now cannot enforce the CCJ then and the attempt at mediation was a trick to admit the claim and start again.

So they have 28 days from the time I placed a defence as you say above that was the 03/03/14 so that was up on the 1st May?

Is that right?

Owe......

Thanks

28 days from when?

And how do I stay the claim?

Do is there a time limit?

Does the court stay the CCJ?

Well its now the 27th May and still not received anything from the courts or Carters?

What do I do now?

Thanks.

Ummm so what about this mediation thing I know the debt is 7 years old so do I ignore it and let them try and prove its owed and the CCJ is valid?

All it says on MCOL is:

A claim was issued against you on 27/02/2014

Your defence was submitted on 01/03/2014 at 10:20:51

Your defence was received on 03/03/2014

And that's it?

Anyone.
