Hi my first post,
I was due to go to small claims court Sept 2 but received notice from credit card company'solicitor on the 17th August that they had applied to have the case adjourned for 60 days until they had located the paperwork I had requested from them no mention of any other court action or hearing in their notice,and the without a hearing box on the n244 form had been ticked leading me to believe that I had not got to worry for a while.
I have today received a letter from the court asking me to attend a hearing for this adjournment on the 28th August less than 2 days,should I have been given any more notice than this ,I fail to see how I would have been able to seek any legal advice on the adjournment in this short period and was hoping to contact the court to change the date, or would I be better to attend and hope that it gets thrown out if there Solicitor does not attend?
They have applied to have it extended under CPR 3.1 (2) (b) as they have failed to locate the documents I have requested,basically proof that the debt is not statute barred under the limitation act 1980.
Will the judge just grant the adjournment as a formality.
Many Many Thanks
