Hi Andy We have been in touch with the court today and its NOT been paid so it will be automatically be struck out. So as you say sit tight and wait for the update although with courts back log might be a while.

As of 1pm they still have not paid, been told by the court to call tomorrow to be 100% certain. I suppose at this point if it's not paid its gets struck out. Anything i need to do at this point?

No worries I have started thx

Hi Andy Not as yet i was waiting for the claimant to pay the trial fee which is by the 16th which i am not sure they will. I have until the 1st march to get everything prepared as per Court Directions sent to all parties.

Hi Dx my apologies for the lack of updates the courts have a back log so it’s been a bit slow. The mediation did not happen as my Daughter was ill, so we were waiting for another date. However last week we received a letter of a court date in March.

Despite numerous attempts to contact the tenant and recover the debt, we have had no response. We Therefore claiming the amount to be paid in full. 1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. It is admitted that I have had a supply agreement with Huddle Utilities in the past. 3. The claimant business is to simplify a landlord’s responsibility to provide and bill multiple utilities to a multiple occupancy rented accommodation. i'e students. 4. The defendant paid the claimants fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with, ending on xxxxxx. 5. Four Years Later, on xxxxx, the claimant wrote to state initially that an outstanding sum of some +£2000 existed resulting from changed rates of the utilities they provided during the term of the agreement. Further stating, as one of the 4 tenants at the time, I now owed them either the full sum or my 1/4 proportion of said debt, as 4 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. I have since discovered that some of my fellow renters have paid their demanded sums without question nor to what level and was confused about exactly what I owed the claimant and wrote asking for a breakdown of each bill. 6. Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send anything other than a water bill, this included a CPR 31.14 on xxxxx by Recorded Post. 7.

Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges are now over 12 months old and relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Huddle/TruEnergy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 9. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 10. The Claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) Failed to serve a letter of claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1 PAPDC. 10. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.
