worried being evicted on 30th january

[vallpnew]

it says claimant is ge money in really small lettering being represented my simply law in large lettering so was unsure

[Ell-enn]

Hi, it is definitely GE money who is the Claimant. Are you OK with editing the statement ?

[vallpnew]

the statement is bril thank you . i have put g.e money being represented by simply law as its ays on the eviction notice

[Ell-enn]

You don't need to put represented by simply law, just GE Money

[vallpnew]

i have my court date, its for the 29th of january absolutely terrified

[Ell-enn]

Hi, did you ask at the court if there were any duty legal advisors there on the 29th ?

[vallpnew]

I did ask and the woman said possibly not she wasn't sure. Scared whitless convinced that I haven't got a prayer

[vallpnew]

Also ge money rang me to ask if I was going to file an n422 when I said I had done the woman was awful and nearly convinced me not to turn up to court

[Ell-enn]

Don't listen to GE, in fact unless they are going to withdraw the eviction notice don't talk to them at all ! The decision about what happens in the hearing is not theirs, no matter what they tell you! it's the judge's decision.

 

The hearing will be held in a room with just the judge, you and rep for GE - it is usually held around a table, much like a meeting, nothing like the courtroom scenes you see on TV. You will find that the judge will know you are nervous and they are usually very good at helping you along. The hearing will only take 5 - 10 minutes. If there are any duty legal advisors at court ask if yu can speak to them, they can accompany you into the hearing and support your case.

 

Did you get an appointment with the doctor to get a letter done ?

[vallpnew]

Doctor just rang he has done the letter but on my sons condition

[Ell-enn]

That's ok, it all helps

[vallpnew]

I've been getting support from a charity for domestic abuse. They are doing me a letter as well

[Ell-enn]

Excellent - do they have anyone who could go to court with you for support ?

[vallpnew]

No got to go alone

[Ell-enn]

What about asking at the local housing authority ? (who wrote the letter), they sometimes have advisors that can go to court

[vallpnew]

Already asked there isn't anyone available.

[Ell-enn]

What part of the country are you in ?

[vallpnew]

South yorkshire

[Ell-enn]

I have sent you a private message

[vallpnew]

I will do that thanks so much for all your help.

Atm i feel all hope is lost I cannot see a judge finding in my favour tbh

[Ell-enn]

Hi, what time is your hearing ?

[vallpnew]

9.45

[Ell-enn]

I'm sending you a pm

[vallpnew]

I submitted the doctors letter,domestic abuse and council letter to the court yesterday and shelter have emailed a supporting letter to court today. I am absolutely terrified of the hearing tomorrow, is there anything else I can do to add to my case . School are giving me a supporting letter but it won't be ready till morning.

[Ell-enn]

Please try to stay positive - you have a lot of supporting documents for the judge to consider. Make sure you approach the duty solicitor when you get to the court.
