Southern Water/ Shulmans claimform - water and sewerage charges

[Andyorch 10,136]

Correct......as long as you have the date to file its irrelevant where the blank came from.....going back to the timeline...you posted:-

 

Defence received 15/07/2019

DQ sent to you 25/10/2019

 

The claimant had until 17th August to inform the court if they wished to proceed

The court has sent out DQs 25/10...thats over 33 days...so at some stage the claim was stayed and yet you have not been informed the claimant made application to lift the stay or if there was any hearing?

[maciekj90 1]

No, nothing at all.

 

Between 15/07/2019 and 25/10/2019 I have only received the letter from SW saying they can't accept the defence and later bills for the amount they claimed and present one, one day later with notice that there is still time to pay.

 

Nothing from court regarding lift of the stay or hearing.

[Andyorch 10,136]

Query it with MCOL and ask if they made application to lift the stay..if so why was you not informed.

[maciekj90 1]

Is there any way to do it online or only by phone?

[Andyorch 10,136]

No.....by phone.

[maciekj90 1]

Ok, just phoned the court.

 The claim was stayed, but it was court mistake.

SW sent them a proof that they submitted the intention to proceed the claim at 19/07/2019.

Somehow court missed it and now they lifted the stay with no charge to claimant. 

[Andyorch 10,136]

That settles that then.....let's proceed.

[maciekj90 1]

It doesn't make any good for me tho...

[maciekj90 1]

I've sent DQ back by post to SW and the court.

Court already received it today, however MCOL does not show it yet. 

 

Is there possibility to send copies by email  to court or should I call them to let them know, so I don't miss the deadline?

[dx100uk 8,566]

give it a few days.they have 10'000 of letters

everyday.

[maciekj90 1]

Today I have received a letter from Moorcroft debt rcovery with demands for the sum that is subject to court action they add £45 as per instruction.

 

As I wait for court mediation confirmation, is this legal that SW keep adding money to it knowing that the matter is in hands of court.

 

They also warn me that they will apply for default, when in fact one was already spent.

 

Is this normal and legal to have kind of, two tracks for same money? 

 

[Andyorch 10,136]

Quite normal not to tell the ambulance chaser the matter is subject to litigation...let them add what they wish...wont alter the claim form amount.

[maciekj90 1]

Thank you for you prompt reply.

 

What cost can be added then if it goes to the Court hearing?

[dx100uk 8,566]

only what is on already on the original claimform poc

 

[Andyorch 10,136]

Claim form costs...any application costs....costs of counsel attending the hearing.
