Lending money to a friend.

[caro]

He claimed he had reported the signature was not his to the police, which is fine by me..

 

I have not heard from the police..

 

 

Rather suggests he's telling porkies, and if you have other examples of his signature I'd have thought that should be proof enough.

[Ganymede]

Well, another sig from him which can be authenticated.

 

Those crappy little electronic signing devices Royal Mail use are nowhere near accurate enough to compare signatures.

 

Every time I sign one it looks like a 5 year olds handwriting.

[determindator]

Oh yes, I know and he knows it is his signature. I have other paperwork with his signature on it. He has run out of ideas and is trying anything to delay. I will just carry on as he is not getting away it. One good thing is his application has cost him £155.00 (I think it was). Welcome to him to the real world..

 

 

Well, good thing CD has more evidence then.

[Consumer dude]

He had quoted a reference number to the court re police reporting..

[Consumer dude]

I await with interest police involvement which I doubt will happen as they don't get involved with civil disputes..

[caro]

He had quoted a reference number to the court re police reporting..

 

As the police don't appear to be taking action I think that speaks for itself, especially if you have other examples of his signature.

[Consumer dude]

What I think will happen, is set aside will either be given or not. In any case, another hearing is on the cards unless we sort something out at the door of the court so to speak..

[Consumer dude]

Next Wednesday is hearing day, nothing else to do but just turn up I guess..

[Ganymede]

Next Wednesday is hearing day, nothing else to do but just turn up I guess..

 

Correct.

[Consumer dude]

Tomorrow is hearing day and I can only hazard a guess as to what will happen..

[caro]

Even if it's only a set aside hearing I suggest that you take all of your paperwork. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

 

I suggest that you also write down bullet points of all the reasons why you believe it shouldn't be allowed.

 

If you put them on your thread others may be able to add suggestions.

 

Good luck.

[determindator]

Go get 'em CD! Don't let them get you down.

[Ganymede]

Well???

[Consumer dude]

They turned up en mass but I won..

[AndyOrch]

Thats the easy part now you have to get payment.

 

Back to square one then....now to try to get paid.

[caro]

They turned up en mass but I won..

 

 

WOOHOO!!! Well done CD!!

[determindator]

They turned up en mass but I won..

 

Gr8 to hear CD! Would like to know what happened about the claim of not being his sig. So now the set aside has been dismissed, you can move on with the charging order.

[Consumer dude]

The signature was briefly mentioned and had no baring on the outcome. The judge seemed more focused on the protocol for the current application which was about setting aside or not. I had followed the civil procedure rules and the defendant had not. It was game over, his brother attempted to speak but was quickly told that as he was neither a solicitor or had no right of audience then he was not allowed..

[Consumer dude]

The charging order wasn't mentioned. I may now request the defendants income. What do others think ?

[determindator]

He is dragging this out CD, and has gone to gr8 lengths to avoid. Let's see the advice which comes back from others to be able to make the right decision to secure getting your money back.

[Consumer dude]

I think the judge could see what was going on, I was outnumbered by rent a crowd, felt intimidated to a degree but I held my nerve. This whole episode has had an affect on my health and I was in hospital for two nights just before this current hearing..

[Consumer dude]

As the set aside has been dismissed, what can the defendant do now ?

[sillygirl1]

Pay up - it may take a while but at least you stood your ground and held out against him.

 

Sorry to hear you weren't very well - I know how the stress of a court hearing can affect you.

[Consumer dude]

So he can't really appeal this decision within law or can he ?
