Thanks LFI - does this mean that it has just been taken back to the original AQ stage? If so how long do I have to fill it in? Many thanks Lisa

((((((bump)))))

Right - got the paperwork this morning, it says: 1/set aside judgement and cancel registration 2/defendant's application dated xx jan 09 do stand as the defence herein 3/ allocation questionaires to be filed by both parties 4/ set aside interim co dated 17/10/08 5/ vacate hearing dated xx/mar/09 at xxpm 6/ costs in the case And attached is an AQ to be filled in. Anyone advise how to fill this in? Many thanks Lisa x

thanks Muscat and LFI - I will wait until I receive the paperwork from the court. Lisa

Hi All, just a thought but do I contact land registry now and let them know about the CO being cancelled? And also will howard cohen remove the ccj on my file automatically or is that a whole other fight?! Many thanks Lisa x

Thankyou all so much - it's just given me the strength to carry on the fight with all the others! Lisa x

Thanks Supa x

Thankyou both so much. Sorry if i wasn't clear earlier! ccj and CO set aside so he said 'obviously don't need to see you march now'! But he did expect them to defend at some stage so he said he will probably see us again at some point. I had to laugh at that as i'm back there regarding hsbc (and non compliance of a cca) in march anyway! He did write something regarding costs but i'm assuming he will put todays events in writing to us anyway? Lisa x

Hi Guys, sorry it's taken me so long to post up but what a day! Had the good fortune to have a great judge today! HC sols didn't show even though as the case before was over running gave them an extra 15 minutes. went in with my OH and was very very nervous as this was my first court 'appearance'. Judge wanted a brief background of the account and went onto say that companies like GE money (OC) were in the habit of selling these debts on for piddling amounts (wasn't very impressed) and should have informed you etc that they were doing this. He also asked how long OH had been together, how many kids etc! - is this normal? Didn't mind as he was very nice - lol. Anyway, upshot was he granted the set-aside and charging order hearing! Something he wrote about costs but not too sure about that. He did say that he expected howard cohen's to defend this all the way and expected to see us again but he said it will take them at least 3 months to produce these docs (don't know where he got that time scale from). So all in all a really unexpectedly good day and i really though he might grant them more time. So a huge thankyou to all of you that helped me get to this point, you have been no less than brilliant Lisa x

thanks Supa - will do, wish me luck! I will let you know how it goes as soon as I get back x

Hi All, right i have all my paperwork to/from howard cohen ready for the hearing today (well i say hearing but it's just for HC to produce the correct docs etc). Now, some have said about taking a 'witness statement' along and a defence but i'm really unsure about what exactly both of these should say. I've only got one more hour to prepare and need some advice pretty urgently if someone would be so kind - just don't want to mess up at this late stage! Many many thanks in advance Lisax

Thanks Womble - but what defence do I take with me? Sorry but i'm so confuddled about what is required and what isn't as I originally thought it was just a hearing so that Howard cohen sols just had to produce the agreement, default etc. Howmuchdebt - not sure why i would need to bring an income/exp as we are totally diputing that this actually existed. Also not too sure about the personal witness statement? Many thanks for you replies Lisax

((((BUMP))))) Please x

Have the set aside hearing tomorrow - does anyone know what i should be taking with me? Lisa

Hi DocH - sorry to jump in but wondered (if i'm lucky enough to get the set aside on mine this Friday) if i could use the same defence you're giving deedee? Mine are howard cohen also. Lisa

Not necessarily;)

Thanks deedee! - getting slightly nervous now! Lisax

Hi vimto - we are going through the same thing with them. They only have my OH contact details and are calling him relentlessly every day. The other week when he refused to confirm his contact details due to security reasons (and has done so ever since) he was called 'pathetic' by their caller - nice eh?! We did send them the harrassment letter but they have totally ignore it also. Don't know how to progress with them now. Lisa

Imminent hearing - please advise x

Anyone? x

Hi deedee - well done for going and getting a result! I am going on friday (howard cohens also), did you have to bring anything with you? Many thanks Lisa

Hi DDD - i'm dealing with howard cohen also at the moment so good luck with yours. Goldlady - sorry to hijack but i have a hearing with HC end of this week in court for them to produce docs. I thought if they didn't produce by then it would be struck out? (have a CO hearing in mar regarding this but the one this week is regarding a set aside i applied for). Can the court give them more time? If so really what is the point of giving them a date and then not sticking to it? Sorry, it's just that i'm panicking a bit now! Lisa x

((((bump))))

Hi LFI - thankyou. The hearing is for 15 mins. So do I just bring along ALL the stuff I have regarding this and/or do i have to take some form of defence also? And if so, is there anything suitable? Many thanks Lisa
