Re: Help.. Received a Claim form!

Thanks [MENTION=55034]nemesis45[/MENTION], hope you have a nice few days away
and if you or maybe [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION] are about i rang the court today and asked them about what's happening ect. Got through to the most helpful friendly person ive spoke to so far..he has told me that Lowell have paid the fee however they have not complied with anything that the Judge ordered us both to. so they have received no documents or anything from them aswell as i haven't. He said he cant give legal advice but he seems to think the Judge will call the case as struck out if not in next few days (as hearing is the 6th) then before we enter court. i explained that i may not be able to attend court as i finish work at 2pm the exact time of hearing (sometimes i can get out earlier but not all the time) so he has told me to email the court and mark as Urgent and f.o.a the Judge and explain again that i still have nothing from Lowell ect and hopefully he will strike out or maybe reschedule the hearing. (but he said again he would be surprised is not struck out before as Lowell are yet to comply with anything they have asked despite reminders and been given extra time)

If you aren't sure about attending then I would let the court know today of that. Will find a letter for you to email.
