Delfi vs 1st Credit & Connaught - WIN!

[Delfi101]

Firstly, a big thanks to Paul (pt2537) who attended court with me today for a set-aside hearing for a Stat Demand issued by the above eejits.

 

We won!!!!!!!

 

My costs weren't awarded (booooo!) but Paul's were at legal type levels. The argument was that you either pay the litigant in person or their representative.

 

The set-aside was granted and the morons had to pay for a local geek to turn up (at the last moment) to argue about costs... I suspect that had they not contested my costs that it would have cost them much less

 

The judge was heavily critical of their behaviour and this will have cost them MUCH more than they bought the alleged debt for. Complaints to the relevant regulatory bodies will now follow.

 

They've tried all sorts of dodgy tricks since the SD was issued and they've been caught out. They even lied in court about an alleged agreement to bear costs for the set-aside.

 

So, in short, up yours Crudit!!!! :lol:

Superb stuff, well done, the same goes to Paul

 

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

This is great news. Fair play.. Any handy hints..? I go see them in court soon as well. Bit nervous.. But blessings for this one!

[pt2537]

aye it twas fun, lets hope they dont pay up then we can send the bailiffs in and start committal proceedings to have the top man at 1st Banged up for contempt of court

[Delfi101]

An excellent job mate ... donkeys filleted etc.

 

Life is so much easier when you have an expert on your side

 

A very big public thanks again.

[cadencealex]

Well done

 

What type of case was it? What were you after?

[Delfi101]

It was a set aside for a Statutory Demand ... we were after the set aside and costs (& we mostly got both) + we got formal recorded criticism of the opposition.

 

Basically, they lost very heavily in this case.

 

They throw these things around like confetti and it's a scary prospect that they're effectively threatening bankruptcy.

Well done to you both

 

Excellent

 

I bet you were chuffed when you walked out of the Court !!! ;-)

[Delfi101]

Well done to Paul more like ... he did all of the professional representation. I've never heard the word 'sir' used in a room so many times in such a short space of time

 

It's the first time I've ever been in a court with my arse on the line too ...

 

To be honest I feel fairly flat about this right now (as well as a little tired, I didn't sleep too well last night). No matter how you try to not let this stuff get to you it does.

 

I don't have the vocabulary to properly express the contempt that I have for Connaught and 1st Credit. They tried (and failed) to put me through hell.

 

All I can really add is that no matter how bad it seems it's always worth fighting these people in the hope that they'll lose and end up paying for being bullies.

 

I hope my journey to date adds to the body of experience of all those others on here and encourages people to take these parasites on. They feed on indimidation and scare tactics.

 

Everyone that uses this site also deserves to be part of this minor success. You've all had your own part to play. Thanks.

Well both you and Paul have done really well.. it's one fight over, and won and good for everyone to read about

 

This site is excellent, and all the 'Won' posts keep people motivated and continuing with their own journeys

 

So chin up, it's Friday night... get yourself a cup of your preferred and try and relax xxx 8)

 

What's next on your 'battling the bullies' programme?

[Delfi101]

Can't say what's next for obvious reasons ... but it's going to be an awful lot of fun (for us not them) ... watch this space

[Goldlady]

[pt2537]

[Delfi101]

I really think we're off their Christmas card list now mate ...

 

For now, a Valentine's poem will do (for Mr S if you're looking in) :

 

Roses are red

Violets are blue

We both want to say

We really ****ed you!

 

:lol:

 

Lots of love

Thanks, im not sure that i would go that far but it was satisfying to get one over on them

 

We have won the battle and now its time to win the War against them

[MrMT]

I would love to (respectfully) read the transcript of the dressing down, if not the whole case. Is this possible?

[Delfi101]

We don't have that ourselves yet but when we do I made a promise to 1st Crudit when all of this started that I intend to honour.

 

You'll all get to read about the lot

[pt2537]

that is something we are looking into for Delfi101, however he would need to give his permission as its his case

[pt2537]

ah, too slow i see, Thanks for posting D:)
