Hi Murmagic,

 

I received a similar letter on Friday from BOS only offering me £300 + Interest + Court Fees from my original claim of £736.51 + Interest + Court Fees. BOS have given me seven days to reply ?!?!

 

What are your plans ??

Hi all you guys having fun with BOS. How about this for fun and games I filed a summary action against BOS for £ 1500.00 plus interest and costs etc. Hearing day arrived no word from BOS so I thought Good i d on't have to go to court.I was in the court filing other papers and was told BOS decided to defend my action. So Court day arrived and when I had an earlier case against RBOS. The judge was a visiting Judge and without going into the whole situation. One reason I had not paid any payments on my C/c was because I had paid a payment of £ 1341.00 in April 2006 and never received any statements or receipt that the payment was received. After telling the judge the story I said Probably he would not like to make any payments after not receiving receipt or statement. Where upon he barked at me not to say what he would do or not do!! that gave me an idea what type of person I was going to be dealing with!!. When the BOS case came up. The judge asked who was defending no one replied He then looked at a lawyer ( one who normally defends both BOS and RBOS) and asked if he had any word. The lawyer replied that he had not heard anything whereupon the judge told him to go downstairs and find out if any of his fellow lawyers had heard anything. Then at coffee break or when the judge takes time out and leaves the court. The lawyer went downstairs on his return he said no one had heard any thing so he phoned BOS and they said they had lost the papers!!!! and asked for a couple of weeks extension. When the judge returned I asked if there was not a rule that if a defendant did not appear at the court they automatically lost the case. Whereupon the judge barked back at me that I was not going to tell him how to run his court. After he heard that BOS wanted two weeks extension he asked me if I would agree. I said no but mybe one week but was wasting my breath as they wete going to be given the two weeks. I was right they were given two weeks. After the two weeks were up we were back at court this time another visiting judge but a far better one. A fellow whose case came up before mine and against BOS. The defnding lawyer a young girl said that BOS had said that their fees were just and fair. The judge then told her he was extending the case for a coupleof weeks and by then BOS had to come up with reasons why £ 30.00 charges were fair. In my case BOS had phoned me earlier in the week. Unfortunately while I was having my breakfast. I told him to phone back in an hour when I would be in the office and would have all the papers ready. I waited for four hours and no phone call.Later that day I phoned B T as hey have a service where calls can be barred if no number is given so I went for this service as I get so annoyed when someone phones and I miss the call and find that there was no number/. So in court the lawyer defending said that BOS had wanted to settle but the phone call was barred. The lawyer had the settlement figures but they did not allow for loss of earnings and travelling expenses or court expenses. I was looking for £ 150.00 per day two days £ 300.00 The judge said he did not think the court would allow that high a figure and extended the case for a further three weeks for me to get the proper charges. I also wanted £ 500.00 for distress caused by BOS. However I may nt get it we will wait and see. Sorry this has been so long and drawn out

thats scary. I hope I dont have to talk to any judges and if I do I better not tell them how to run their court. Let me know how you get on. Im scared now. (was scared anyway)

Out of interest Texel what court was this??

I filed with Edinburgh Sheriff court today... im hoping for a smooth ride but im certainly prepared to turn up for my day in court if needs be. The judge sounds like he has no time for 'charge claimers'.... typical.... on his salary its unlikely he'd be in our shoes though!

 

Good luck keep us posted!

Thanks for your email sorry Iwas so long in replying my telephone line has been out since 11th. Dec 2006 owing to a fault in an underground cable BT screwed up because they did not apply to the roads dept for permission to put up traffic lights until just before Christmas:mad: so Turriff got ahead and BT had to wait until 10th. Feb For odd periods of time my computer would come on line for a coup[le of mins than go off but it has beenh off for the past several days so I did not get your email until today. But now all going well it is fixed. now to answer you question. I deal with Perth Sheriff Court. Everyone seems to know me now as I have been ther so many times. One has to be careful of certain judges some are great and others are b-----. I had one ( a visiting judge who was a ba-----) I was sueing RBS and 0one iof the reasons I had not made any payment on my credit card was because. Christmas 2005 I was rushed to hospital for surgery I had started getting ill in Sept of that year so was not of a mind to pay any bills etc. On coming out of hospital and when I was allowed to get back in the business world I sold my cottage and in Ap[ril 2006 paid off some crediticards and brought every other up to date. This card I paid £ 1341.00. Never got a statement. When I told the judge I said he probably would not like to make any mor payments without a receipt!!! Whereupon he barked at me that I can't say whathe would do.

Later when we were starting them BOS suit. There were no defence lawyers!! Whereupon the judge asked one of the lawyers present if he had heard any thing as this lawyer often handled RBS and BOS cases The lawyer said he had heard nothing then the judge told him to go down stairs and see if any otherlawyers had heard anything. So at coffee timeor half time when the judge leaves the room. The lawyer went down stairs. Before hand when there was no sign of any lawyers for BOS I asked was there not a ruleone side does not turn up at a case the other side winsHe barked at me saying I was not going to tell him how to run his court. So before coffee time was over the lawyer phoned BOS they said they had lost the papers and asked for two week continuance. When the judge heard this he saked me if I would agree. I said no but maybe would allow one week but as I said to the judge he would give them two weeks anyway which he did. Two weeks later it was a different judge and he was much better. BOS wanted to settle but I did not like the amount so said I wanted more. I thought that after all the trouble BOS had caused me they should pay for invome loss and travelling expenses which I said was £ 150.00 per day. The judge thaught I would never get anything like that amount. It is the sheriff clerk who decide that matter. SO I ;owered my amount to £ 75.00 per day now going to be three days and £ 500.00 for distress etc. However I wouldrely on what the court decides.

let me know if I can be of further help
