No where near trial stage. The judges order was so long winded and convoluted that I cant remember it as I was dying with the flu at the time. The minute the order comes through I will scan it on. I am moving to London so I have asked the court to transfer to my local court at my new address. Hopefully this wont cause a problem. I will post my witness statement in response to their application to substitute. The judge said something in the order about responding in full to my witness statement. It is a joke and a mess !

The judges are absolute jokes at my local court scared to make a decision. The treat LIPs as dirt I am seriously contemplating proper representation in fact almost certain.

It was a bit of a joke the judge was a joke. He didnt grant them the substitution but asked them to respond to my latest statement. It was almost like the judge was representing the claimants dismissing my arguments. The thing is I had a very heavy flu, and its a lit bit of a blur I will post more details later. Im also moving and need to get the court changed.

I am obviously going to send a witness statement to the court and the claimant in relation to their application to substitute the claimant. Does anyone know how many days before the hearing I have, to file and/or serve the statement with the claimant and courts ?

Sorry to hear that Bev did Jones and Scott show up what was the DJ like he sounds like an idiot

Good luck Bev

Its pure and utter bluff and blag its starting to smell very bad

I cant see Bev where it says certain assets on my NOA. I know its a ball ache but just trying to help and cover all angles.

I cant see where it says selected claimants bev. As far as I am aware its all claimants, a quick email along the lines. Dear Sir I have been made aware that Robinson Way Limited have assigned their liability and assets to hoist portfolio holding 2 Limited. Has the liability and interest in my case been assigned to Hoist ? Kind Regards Bev

Letters were sent out to all debtors/account holders stating that the debt had been assigned to hoist. Hoist should now be the claimants as the have assigned and liability has passed. DWF and RW have forgot to mention this and did not send out letters on historic accounts. Just a quick email to dwf and rw and see what they say, I guarantee you the correct claimants are now hoist!!!!!!!

Bev it has they all have but they didn't bother letting anyone know on old historic accounts email dwf

Bev and Mike I really think the idea is to force home the fact that the debt is now with hoist and not even Robinson way and company limited or Robinson way limited (this will really upset the apple cart). You need to get this further point across . Remember all debts were assigned to hoist (another totally new claimant from a different country and a different name not similar to Robinson way etc). Get DWF to confirm in an email whether the debt has now been assigned to Hoist and ask if they have sent a NOA. This will throw a spanner in the works.

Don't worry I had a lot of trouble convincing a the judges about the 'name change' (just stick to your guns), the penny dropped in the end. Fortunately I am in a better position as the substitution of claimant counts as a new claim under the limitation act which in my case means that it is in effect statute barred (last payment 2005) and neither the original claimant or the new applicant have any locus standi. Incredulous that their app notice was poorly done and they asked for 10 mins arrogant bunch of so an so's. I am pushing this all the way and have fired off a 2nd letter to NCCBC.

Don't forget to update us when you get a chance !

Either way Robinson Way are in the doo doo in the next few years. You'll be fine, be positive, state your point confidently, and don't be afraid to disagree without doing it rudely !! At the end of the day they are the incorrect claimants its simples !
