Oh what a day.

 

Get to court nice and early plonk my self down is a deserted waiting room (only 3 other people there)then at 10.25hrs their barrister breezes in. Had the same oneAdmin review for SJ.

 

He then announces to me 'THAT THEY ARE DISCONTINUING"

 

Happy days.

 

So then the question of costs arose and I had written a schedule which totaled £835 which he said that earlier I had wanted £500 and then i said that was before Bouffont sent me 5 emails and phoned three times and also Ive attended today and that was without prejudice. I said let the judge decide.

 

So we go into court and met with the Judge, and in the Judge lottery stakes I hit the double rollover euromillions jackpot cos he was brilliant.

 

Barrister says that they are dicontinuing, judge says "Very Good now I can watch the cricket". Barr'r says that would not stop them pursuing me for the debt, judge says "If MBNA can prove it, and Mr XXX doesnt pay then Mr XXX would get CCJ". Barr'r reiterated that they would continue and in the words of the judge direct quote "I wish you luck on that one"

 

The schedule was produced by barr'r and said that my 3 attendences hearing time was excessive I said 9 hrs when it should be 5. I pointed out that i had prepared this prior to MBNA withdrawing and I had anticipated 5 hrs for today and 2hrs each for the other two hearings.

 

Judge knocked £37 of the total

 

Barr'r then said 60hrs prep time was excessive and it should be redused to 30hrs. I poitned out that as LIP I had to do research and that i had to type it up myself. Judge agreed so the total costs awarded to me is £798 payable withing 14 days

 

I asked for removal of DNs from credit file which i got i think have to check order as i was giggling so much.

 

On way out barr'r says that i have won battle and not war, I said I didnt know I was at war, he said that they will still try and pursue me. I mentioned that it is terminated and cant issue further DN, and the case would be exactly the same as the one that has just been discontinued. and he said we'll see. I then said please dont threaten me with actions you know are without merit.

 

So all in all a good day. No judgement, Notice of Discontiuence and £798 costs.

 

So a massive thank you to all those who have helped along the way for the advice and support. Those who talked sense the other day when I waivered.

 

Special mention to Supasnooper, CitizenB, Robcag, Bazaar and BRW

 

So when cheque clears an appropriate donation to the site to keep this valuable resource going to fight the greedy banks.

 

Now I'm going to get blotto.

:D:D

P.S. what are you still doing here, shouldn't you be drinking Beers somewhere else!

[Alphageek]

Great news FB.

 

They'll need to seek the Court's permission to bring this action again and in the words of the Judge "Good luck with that!"

Well done

 

I hope MBNA are guests at some point and read this.

 

Banking and the law used to be noble professions and are a part of where our British love of justice came from.

 

You have just demonstrated by the nature of the people you retain, and the devious underhand tactics which YOU allow them to use that your have corrupted that trust.

 

Lets here no more of rogue debtors, the rogues are in robes.

[Rhia]

This is absolutely brilliant.

 

You are completely vindicated. Ignore that rubbish about coming after you again. They need the court's permission and some extraordinarily stunning new evidence - it's rowlocks.

 

You handled that brilliantly - refusing to budge and be intimidated. It must be getting very frustrating for some of these bullying type-lawyer-thugees to find the peasants really aren't too worried about them after all.

 

Just to add..well done that Judge too - although it didn't sound like it was a very taxing hearing as far as he was concerned.
