Arrows/Drydens.. CCJ set a side?***Claim Discontinued***

[PCoombes100]

Great news July!!

 

I was only thinking about your case the other day and how you were doing.

 

You'll sleep better tonight

[July]

Thanks PC,. Yes I certainly will. I would always have come back and posted regarding the outcome so it would help others that may be going through the same situation.

 

I wouldn't have got mine without the help and advice on here

I'll make a donation soon in way of a thank you

Hi Andy

I think it is restarting. They have said its suitable for the small claims and to expect some paperwork in the next two weeks. The judge said she would enter my witness statement as evidence, she even commented on how well presented it was.

We will see what the claimant does next.

 

Just post once you receive anything.

[July]

Thanks Andy, I will.

 

If there is any tiny bit of advice I can give to anyone who is going through this process, is that the application to set aside is done so as quickly as you can. My earlier application in October helped me a great deal in winning the set aside but she did have stern words about the October till now delay. If I hadn't had done the October application (albeit completely wrong) I would have, without a doubt, lost.

Hi all

I've received some paperwork today.

 

Allocated to small claims track.

Witness statement stands in place of a defence.

Hearing 28th august.

Claimant must pay by the end of July

Just wondering what do I need to do now...if I do?

Let me know if you need anymore info

 

I have also requested again, now that the ccj is set aside they must supply me with the cca. As that was part of the witness/defence.

 

Many thanks

[AndyOrch]

Just follow the directions listed within the Notice of Allocation (as above) by the dates stated.......which will be standard disclosure and exchanging witness statements.

[July]

Hi all, i need a bit of advice.

 

I have been reading through a few threads and it seems the paperwork i received after my set aside wasn't a directions questionnaire. It was just directions. I have no boxes to tick etc. Here's whats stated.

 

the following directions apply to this claim:

Each party must deliver to the other party and to the court offices of all documents on which that party intends to rely on at the hearing no later than 14 days before the hearing (its on the 25th Aug).

The witness statement stands in place of a defense..Does this mean i do nothing? I really don't know what to do here, should i send the claimant copies of all the paperwork??

 

There are also other things stated but i can understand them.

 

My questions are, do i wait and do nothing until the hearing or do i need to send off my witness statement and documents again to the courts and claimant? And if i wish to add some things to my WS can I?

The last day for them to pay for the hearing was today, i will be calling the courts on Monday to see if this has been paid.

 

Apologies for all the questions, i really don't want to muck things up on the final hurdle

[AndyOrch]

See my previous post

[July]

Thanks Andy

 

If they have my WS and documents why do I need to send them again?

[AndyOrch]

You haven't submitted a witness statement yet July you have submitted your initial defence.....as for documents...you disclose anything you have referred to within your defence and witness statement as evidence...if you dont disclose it you cant use it.( for the court and claimant...the court does not know what you have)

[July]

Right, ok i think i understand that. Im glad i asked because i didn't think i needed to do anything else

 

Last question i promise...the paperwork has to be submitted 14 days beforehand. Is this working days or include weekends.....so date of submission 10th/11th August (inc weekends)

[AndyOrch]

Working days.

[July]

Just an update

 

Claimants have paid the court fee, i checked today. I was hoping to get a discontinuation or something similar, but looks like ill be back in court with these idiots!!!

[July]

Hi all,

 

sent my defence/Witness Statement in for the 5th Aug to the courts and claimant ,

14 working days before the court date and as yet have not received anything from the claimants.

 

I did receive a without prejudice letter asking for 250 pounds to settle the claim. Is this standard practice from Dryden.

 

I have been reading other posts but i cant really see anything that is similar to mine,

 

 

they have paid the court fee but not sent and WS to me yet.

added WS

[Old Cogger]

begging letter????????????

[July]

I was thinking that Mike770, last ditch attempt....but why pay the court fee?

[citizenB]

They have been known to cancel at the door of the court room - I think it is a question of who blinks first.

 

When is the actual hearing - as long as any claim is discontinued in reasonable time, I think they are entitled to their fees, back.

[July]

ah right....well they have my SB defense and i will go to court and fight them with everything I have.

 

If i do however receive their WS am I able to resubmit another on defending theirs? (if that makes sense)

[AndyOrch]

No ...nor should you need to...you have submitted your WS and the claim is statute barred.....so anything they state is irrelevant (asssuming they intend to submit a WS )

[July]

Thanks Andy

 

Still nothing in the post today, I've developed some kind of' sit in the window waiting for postie' behavior at the minute

 

How long do I wait before contacting the courts (if i need to) and advise that nothing has been received from the claimant?

[AndyOrch]

What date are they suppose to comply by ?

[July]

If 14 working days then last Wednesday. If just 14 days then today

[AndyOrch]

Normal days....so I would allow a little leniency...if nothing received by Friday then ring your court and ask if they have submitted anything ...advise they have not served you......lets wait on your response and will advise on how to push this further.

[July]

Good plan....I will post if/when I hear something

Thanks Andy!

[July]

Hi all,

So I called the courts today just to see if they had heard anything and they informed me they had received a letter from claimant and they have discontinued!!!!!!
