Backdoor CCJ Arrows/Cater - Old Lloyds Card debt - set aside ***Claim Struck Out***

[citizenB]

MB - the attached draft is a copy of my Bill of Costs, prepared for a claim against a bank for non compliance of SAR.

 

NOTE : The LiP hourly rate has now increased to £18.00.

 

I received £480.00 of the costs so not quite everything I asked for.

Hi CB, thank you so much for posting the above, it's very helpful. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond but I wasn't aware of the post and I haven't been on the site for a while. I still haven't received the order from the court for the actual wording (there have been lots of admin. errors and delays and on one occasion they lost my file altogether) I'm getting a little impatient, as this has been dragging on for what seems like ages now, and am considering writing a letter to the court which refers to the order (date only) and attach a revised, reduced, schedule of costs. Does this sound ok or do you think it's best to wait for the order to arrive?

Also, thanks for your post Andy, only just seen that as well I find all this court jargon very confusing, and all I can thin of is that I have exceeded the amount that I am allowed to claim for small track. Could that be correct?

[citizenB]

You could phone or write and ask them if they have sent anything out that you might not have received.

 

Andyorch will pick up that you have posted and will no doubt be along soon to give some proper advice

[maybelate]

Thanks CB, I'll see what Andy says then.

could phone the court, note the exact order. if in doubt ask them if the order requires you to send in revised costs?

ok thank you Ford, that sounds like a plan

[Andyorch]

I think we need to see this order MBL before we can advise further...this is a wasted order (fixed) correct?

yes Andy, it is fixed wasted costs, I know this because AG's sol asked the DJ, but to be honest I'm not really sure what fixed means.

Thank you for the above link Andy, am I correct in thinking that the fixed costs only applies to solicitors and as I am a LIP it won't apply to me? and if this is the case as a LIP is there a limit on the amount of wasted costs that I can apply for?

 

Thank you

regards

Maybe

[Andyorch]

Fixed costs apply to both parties MBL. ......fixed being court fees/applications/disbursements

oh, ok thanks Andy, does that mean that I can't try to claim back anything for the time taken for preparation e.g. preparing my defence, witness statements, allocation questionnaires etc? Sorry to keep asking about this but I need to try to understand what I have done wrong on the application

[Andyorch]

It's small claims MBL so you have done well gaing a WCO as normaly it does not apply to SCT.

[maybelate]

ok, thanks again Andy, I think I know what I need to take off the schedule of costs now then, didn't realise about it not applying to SCT and found it so hard to understand, even after reading the info.
