  1. Hello all. The company who my friend was in dispute with (who were holding back on giving my friend the building calculations that they owed him until he paid the costs that they lost when they issued an MCOL claim....and then withdrew it) have a new person in charge of the dispute and she has emailed to say that they will provide the calculations for the same amount but the amount is for them to 'appoint a structural engineer to carry out both sets of calculations'. They have written in a previous letter that they will not provide the calculations until my friend pays the amount that they lost out on by bringing the MCOL claim. My question is - my friend is going to have to send them a cheque for the amount as he desperately needs the calculations, so is it imperative that he includes a letter stating that he plans to claim the amount back from them once he gets the calculations or does it not matter?
  2. I really, really thought I did SORN it but can't find the docs. Thank you.
  3. Hi, can anyone help with this, please?
  4. Many, many apologies. It would seem that my request for confirmation has resulted in annoyance - this was not my aim. What hasn't helped is that I followed up on advice on a different thread on another forum and wished I hadn't. Thank you very much for the kind help. Letter to the hospital on its way....
  5. Apologies for the delay. Regarding the wording, here is the letter:

  7. Hi all. My car has been off road in a friend's MOT garage since July 2015, I genuinely thought I had declared it SORN. Tonight I have tried to transfer the private plate from it but DVLA told me that I have to decalre it SORN first. I did this by automated phone call but then spoke to a DVLA person who said that I must pay the missing period of taxation before I can transfer the plate. However, a previous call handler hinted that there is a way out of this? Any advice would be greatly received.
  8. Quite simply, without you people on here, they would be screwed. I asked the last two guys to make contributions towards the site and they did (although I made the payments). Just to make up for my negatives (awful memory and want to be 100% sure in what I'm doing), I will blow my own trumpet here and tell you all that after I made the last contribution, one of you mods contacted me to check that the amount was correct as it was far more than the 'usual' contributions. I'm just sayin'.....
  9. You really want to know? The answer is because I have a million things going on (not necessarily bad things), and have had for a while now, and it's been a while since I helped someone defend a claim. I am allowed to have a poor memory, I think?
  10. Final question - would refusing mediation be seen negatively by a Judge if this ever went to court?
  11. Sorry for a stupid question but what do you mean?
  12. Apologies, I thought dx100uk just meant the defence (which I re-posted earlier) but now see that it is the POC, etc too. Hold fire....
  13. So shall I still leave the box unticked in the questionnaire regarding whether or not we are calling witnesses?
  14. Excellent advice!! Thank you so much! P.S. It isn't me, it is a friend (it actually is!!)
  15. Shall I/he choose to go the mediation route? My concern is that he now lives in Scotland so would be a massive inconvenience to come down for this? Also, expert advice or witnesses?
  16. So, to check, all I can do right now is fill in the questionnaire and wait?
  17. No problem, thank you very much for the help......
  18. Not quite 12 hours but better late than never.....
  19. Utterly brilliant! Thank you. Briefly, if he has already submitted his defence, can I (he) add to it using some of what you stated?
  20. Which month/year was the "MOT that had almost run out" from? The MOT was to run out 9 days after the buyer bought the car. Apologies for any confusion, I'm trying my best to get the correct info. Will the claimant be able to suggest your friend was acting in the course of business / a trader? Or was this a "one-off" / private sale ? Definitely a private sale.
