Lowell PAPLOC Now Claimform - Old Vanquis Credit Card ***Settled by Tomlin Order***

[Andyorch]

Is it a video or phone hearing ?

It's a video hearing.

Given the circumstances and failings to comply with directions I wouldn't feel confident in your predicament either. The problem is if you tried to agree a Tomlin Order now with the DCA they already know you have failed to comply with the directions like wise they have failed to serve their statement on the correct address...this one point may enable the judge to adjourn, the claimant may feel they can take their chance and refuse any settlement given that they are confident it will go their way anyway irrespective.

 

You could call them and test the water and see if they would be interested in a settlement and vacate the hearing of today...if they outright refuse your offer then at least you will know that option is now off the table ?

[Mdg123]

They said they would accept a Tomlin but it's too late in the day to sort now and that I should announce my intention for a Tomlin order at the hearing.

 

Guess I just go for an adjournment and keep my fingers crossed then!

[Andyorch]

Well yes that's a further option to raise at the hearing ...inform the judge the claimant has agreed to a settlement in principle by way of a TO.

If the judge accepts that then there is no need to go into not informing the court of a change of address and not receiving the Notice of Allocation to the correct address...if he does not accept then you will have to just come clean.

[Mdg123]

The DCA has just sent through a Tomlin order that I have signed and returned. Let's hope the judge accepts it at the hearing!

[Andyorch]

Well done..... now don't forget to update the court with your current address.

[Mdg123]

All done and dusted! Tomlin order in place and the court has my up to date address! What a relief!

 

Thanks as ever to Andorch and Dx you guys are life savers!
