Yep! Lots of fun I bet they'll run to their solicitor and find a loophole to suspend the judgement and restart the process. After all royal mail shreds all mail that comes from courts accordingly to them

Hi everyone, yesterday I applied for a warrant (£83). The judgement was issued on 27/07/2023 and they didn't pay anything. They didn't respond to any court communication, so most likely they will claim that once again they didn't receive anything. I wrote to them once questioning how bizarrely royal mail selected important mail addressed to them and shredded it. They said they would've complained to royal mail about it My understanding is that the ccj will now stay on record because they didn't satisfy it within a month, is this correct? And I know the consequences for an individual with a ccj on records, but what happens to companies? Do they get bad credit rating and have any sort of trouble? I hope so. Thanks

@Emmzzi That would only happen in a company run by people with common sense. Let's not forget who we're dealing with here.

Why not? Genuinely, I knew they would never release those documents otherwise the ET claim would've been totally lost for them. Now, as my husband anticipated, they would either leave me alone or start messing me about with change of shifts again. In that case, this time I will not agree to anything, continue my shifts and when they sack me take them to ET with a much stronger case.

BTW, I agreed with my husband to sent an email to the tribunal to withdraw the claim, considering the legal advice we received.

They have a mix of paper and digital files. I will ask for their personnel data storage policy, but from a company that doesn't even have a social media policy, I don't expect anything positive. I tried to take my own notes and I was accused of secretly recording the meeting because they were too accurate. I'm sure some of you think I'm making this all up, but rest assured that it's all true, I swear on my kids life.

Thanks everyone. I expect an email in the next few days inviting me to a meeting to discuss this. Considering the runaround they subjected me to and the fact that minutes never match what's said (they claimed i agreed to things when in fact i totally disagreed), I'm only going to attend if they allow my husband to be present as a translator and supporter. They'll never allow that again. The only time they let my husband attend a meeting he made mince of them. When he asked for the hand written notes at the end of the meeting they refused and he threw the book at them in the form of acas guidelines. They weren't pleased!

Well, the 2 main points are: 1. They claim that when I showed them my passport (did this twice), they took a copy, marked as "original seen" and sent to hr. Then hr shreds these copies, but there's no trace or note that this has happened or that hr ever received the copies. Also, in the first disclosure they sent me a copy of a previous expired passport, so it doesn't look like they shred them. They've denied sending this passport copy, but the disclosure is on a .zip file, so they can't really deny it. Now they've asked for my passport again, so it looks like they lost the last 2 copies. 2. They insist in saying that they were not passed any document regarding my flexible working agreement when they took over under TUPE. After the first ccj they disclosed a rosta that I was doing in 2017, before the fwa. I asked many times how they knew what shifts I (and everyone else) was doing at point of TUPE transfer but they refused to answer. Basically they want to avoid admitting that I've been doing fixed shifts since late 2017. These are the 2 things that I think are not compliant with dpa. What do you think?

Ok, thanks. Got to do it tomorrow because I can only access it on the pc. Thanks again.

Wouldn't it show on mcol if they'd acknowledged the claim?

It says: "The following errors have occurred: 1. You can only request Judgement by default if the required number of days have passed" But it's been 20 days now. Issued date is 04/07/2023. What's going on?

No, not that I can see on mcol. Should there be a note there I suppose if they acknowledged.

Issued 04th july, 24th july I'll apply for default judgement. It's 3pm on a friday, unlikely they'll do something now. One question: the option to apply for default judgement has been there since i submitted the claim. It asks to fill a form. I thought that there would be no option available until the 19 days had passed. What am i seeing wrong?

Well, regarding the ET case, the defendant has employed one of the best employment barrister in the country. I even had a feeling she knew the judge at preliminary hearing. And my husband had the same feeling. After all they use (misuse) public money, so no cost or risk to them.

No, I didn't

Hi everyone, i logged in mcol and read this notice "If you served separate detailed particulars of claim on the defendant(s), you must have filed a certificate of service within 14 days of serving these and, where you've done this, you must confirm this if you proceed to request judgment." Does it mean I need to send the defendant the particulars of claim?

My husband is thinking of withdrawing the employment tribunal claim because he's got to go through spinal surgery. He also spoke to his union barrister and got a good objective view of the case. Practically, the strongest part of the claim is the sex discrimination but I agreed to change my shifts and stupidly I didn't put it in writing that I was doing so under duress. So they claimed that THEY accommodated my request to work earlies. My husband reckons that 2 things can happen if we withdraw the claim. 1. They leave me alone knowing that I have support behind me and can cause trouble. 2. They restart their campaign to get rid of me but this time I will need to keep a perfect paper trail of everything that happens. So far, since the start of legal proceedings all managers have been avoiding me and if inevitable to speak to me, they've been very nice.

Hi, after a rough exchange of emails trying to blame x y and z, they disclosed other bits and pieces. They still claim that they have no copy of my fwa or record of my shifts at point of transfer. However, they found a roster of 2015, when I still worked earlies and lates; how convenient. So they want me to believe that the previous company gave them old irrelevant information but not latest shifts. How did they guess what shifts I and everyone else were working? They refused to reply to this. To top it off, they lost 2 copies of my passport claiming that they shred them after seeing, but they have no record of this. And, after 3 messy grievances and an employment tribunal case, they claim that the 15 people involved, working in different sites, never, ever, exchanged anything about me in any communication. Not one word about the massive mess they created and the fight I put up. Possible? Anyhow, I submitted the second claim on mcol a couple of days ago and I received a confirmation letter today. So now they have a couple of weeks to respond. Do I need to prepare anything in view of them defending this time? Thanks for your help.

They paid after i sent the enforcement form to the court. I didn't pay enforcement because the court needs the form first, but they paid me directly in my bank account 2 days after I sent the form. So in other words, it never went to enforcement, so the court doesn't know they paid me. So it's up to them to tell the court?

Bailiffs never attended. They paid before they were even told.

Good evening everyone, Do I have to tell the county court that they paid or is the defendant job?

Yes, I sent the new letter of claim on friday with recorded delivery. They signed for it today. And listen to this, they sent me a letter telling me that even though they have paid, they don't admit any fault (why didn't they defend then???)

Hi, i'm ready to post the fresh letter of claim but I have a question. With the previous one I also sent it via email because they always claim that royal mail selectively destroys their mail. Should I be a (insert chosen word here) and just send it through the post or should I also email them? BTW, with regards to the ET case, they're a month late with the judge directions and there's no sign of them complying. Looks like ET is heavily biased towards employers (or solicitors?).

@FTMDave are the dates you mentioned just an example or is the 20th march the day I started the previous claim? (Coincidence?) Judgement was issued 04th May. Thanks

Update: they've paid the judgement money. So, off with another claim. In the meantime, can someone please look at my questions in post #143? Thanks
