Cabot split claim on Dodgy Orange debt - ***Claim Discontinued***

[woody1066]

I am looking at an embarrased defence, I hope that is the correct one to go for. Would you reccomend that I put in a claim for costs at the same time. I appreciate your help and ask that you be patient with me as this is all new to me

[AndyOrch]

An holding defence...no such thing as an embarrassed defence.No you cant claim costs.

[woody1066]

[dx100uk]

[woody1066]

Thanks

[AndyOrch]

Defence is not due until the 1st July ?

[woody1066]

Well defence is in. lets see what happens now

[woody1066]

I received a notice of discontinuance this morning. Thanks for all of the help and advice. I will be making a donation to CAG by way of thanks

[woody1066]

You can move this to the success forum if you like

[dx100uk]

you need to check with the court it IS discontinued

[woody1066]

I have just had a look and it is still active. I only got the letter on Saturday though. I will have a look tomorrow. If it isn't what do you suggest my best course of action to be?

[dx100uk]

phone the court tomorrow

dx

[woody1066]

Its still at Northampton . There is no phone number on the AOS form

[citizenB]

Telephone number should be on the claim form ?

 

I imagine that it has been discontinued, just that you have received your notice prior to the court. They are usually a few days behind with their Administration.

 

Your defence is any way so they cant obtain a default judgment.

[woody1066]

I agree with you citizen. They did attach a copy of the discontinuance form they say they have sent to the court. I have made a (small) donation to cag by way of thanks

Thank you on behalf of CAG for the donation, woody.. much appreciated

[woody1066]

I have spoken to the court. They have no record of it being discontinued but they have a 3 week backlog

[citizenB]

Crikey, 3 weeks - that is pretty bad !

Hi, I have been trying to phone the courts today to find out if the solicitors had sent the discontinued notice on my case but couldn't get through, I was 24 in the queue and I hung up half hour later and I was still number 12. There must be lots of cases going through atm. I think claimants should have to prove they have the documents needed to pursue a debtor before it even gets to court.

I totally agree that they should have all the information required BEFORE they are allowed to issue a claim.

 

Unfortunately, there will be many victims who wont realise that they can request information by way of CPR.

 

If you read round the forums, you will see that many claimants are providing extremely brief Particulars of claim, that try to avoid mentioning documents - in order to make it more difficult for defendants to request the information required.
