    I recently had to return a face-lifting gizmo ordered from Littlewoods catalogue. It was purchased 9 months ago but had been unopened in all that time. When taken out the box for the first time it appeared to be dead so was returned. They issued me with a partial refund of £115 (purchased for £280). If this is all above board then thats fine but i thought it would be best to check online in case im entitled to the rest. It was dead on arrival but on the other hand it sat unopened for 9 months. Thanks.

    Matter closed then as far as im concerned. Couldn't be happier especially with the unexpected outcome. Their defence paperwork was quite impressive tbh and im at a loss as to why they didn't turn up. My last email was picked up by a colleague of whoever i was talking to initially about settling out of court i can only assume some kind of internal oversight in their offices. A big well deserved thank you to all those that chipped in with guidance and helping me to learn the basics in case i ever find myself in a similar position again. And a special thank you to Andyorch and dx100uk in particular. Ive made a small donation to the forum. Thanks again.

    Just to close matters, i still owe them the money? they just cant use a court enforcement to obtain it from me?
  4. Gordy
    Wow superb an unexpected outcome to say the least.
  5. Gordy
    Wow, so that debt has been struck off? i thought they could just re apply for it?

    Received a letter this morning and the case was struck out as both parties didn't attend. Can the claimant restart proceedings?
  7. Gordy
    No i didn't attend because of Agraphobia, but i had agreed to an out of court settlement almost with claimants solicitor but they never replied to my last email and that was a few weeks before the court date.

    Hello again. I never did get any reply back from the solicitor after i told them i wanted to pay the minimum possible and the court date has been and gone and ive heard nothing from the claimant, their solicitor or the court. Any suggestions? Thanks.
  10. Gordy
    I wont be paying off this amount anytime soon so ideally want to pay the absolute minimum possible, also straight from my benefits if i can. they have asked me how much i want to pay. Should i just be up front with them and tell them this? Thanks. (again)
  11. Gordy
    Ok that sounds the logical choice then. Do i negotiate/haggle with them at any point on total amount or payback details? Also does anyone still want to see the witness statement? if so ill get it scanned and uploaded. Thanks.
  12. Gordy
    I am unsure of the cons and pros of either to be honest. Also i shall get the Witness statement uploaded soon. Thanks.
  13. Gordy
    Yes they have its seven pages. Would you like it posted up or maybe highlights of any interesting bits? Also a day or two ago i received the following email offering out of court settlement... "Dear Mr XXXX I am in receipt of your Witness Statement dated 21st September 2017. I note that you now acknowledge the debt following the removal of the Statute Barred bills. It is further noted that you do not wish to attend court, due to your health issues. I therefore propose that the matter is dealt with by means of a Consent Order. Please advise me by return, your proposals of settlement so that I can draw up the order. Yours sincerely

    Received a huge bundle of paperwork from the claimant on Friday. Not had a thorough read yet but had a quick flick through it... They have accounted for and deducted the status barred period from my bill themselves. Lots of bills and t&c's have been included. Details of the handful of emails i sent to the water company when i was trying to discover whether the money they were taking from my benefits was for my current bill or the arrears we were going to court over. It concludes that i am happy with current setup in this area. It all looks in order. Once ive had a proper read trough ill update the thread with any questions. In the meantime if anyone wants a nose of any of the above or a contents page or similar feel free to ask. Thanks.

    One last thing should my doctors note goto just the court or both?
  16. Gordy
    Superb ill get it printed and sent to the claimant and court tomorrow along with a list of documents. Thanks again.
  17. Gordy
    Thank you Andy
  18. Gordy
    Ah superb. Should i write a small accompanying letter with the agoraphobia letter from my doctor or not? Also is my witness statement finished? Who with and when do i sort out a payment plan for the debt? Thanks.
  19. Gordy
    My paperwork has to be in this friday so starting to get a little worried. Could i please ask what paperwork in total i need to submit to the court and forward to the claimant, in particular what form has to be filled it to accompany my witness statement. thanks.
  20. Gordy
    Also i contacted the court by email and phone and all they have done is add to the case notes for the judge that i will not be attending due to agoraphobia. which she says he will not see until the day anyhow. My surgery is charging me £20 for the agoraphobia letter which im happy paying if it is needed. i have a letter i can collect from the surgery just not to sure at this point what i will be doing with it
  21. Gordy
    At what point should i start worrying if it dosent turn up in the unlikely event it goes missing in the mail for example? 22nd of this month is the deadline. Thanks.
  22. Gordy
    Thanks Andy.
  23. Gordy
    Ive patched up one or two badly but most have never been touched and are basically just from crap workmanship when the place was built. Your correct i thought the same thing earlier and emailed them along with a few sample pictures.
  24. Gordy
    I believe i have the witness statement finished now. Could you please tell me which form i use to submit my defense along with this witness statement? Thanks. "In the County Court at Portsmouth Claim Number: XXXX Southern Water Services Limited Claimant Mr Gordon XXXX Defendant WITNESS STATEMENT I, Gordon XXXX of XXXX am the Defendant in this claim. The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. The last payment or acknowledgement of this debt was made over six years ago and no further acknowledgement or payment has been made since that time. It is the defendant's understanding that under the limitation act 1980 Section 5: “an action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued”. Unless the claimant can provide evidence of payment or acknowledgement from the defendant in the relevant period under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, I suggest that the claimant is no longer able to take any court action against the defendant to recover part of the alleged amount claimed dating from 23/05/2008 until 21/04/2011. I accept liability for the remaining amount dating from 22/04/2011 until 21/04/2017. I believe that the facts stated in this witness statement are true. Gordon XXXX 5th September 2017"
