Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Hi humanbean

One of the questions mediation will ask is whether you have received all the documentation which you have requested from the claimant/solicitors.
As things stand, I guess the answer will be no, in which case mediation usually cannot take place & the case is referred back to court.

You did complete the directions questionnaire and send it to the court, so you need to give the court a call and check what's happened.it will have to be tmw now. Is it the DQ they are saying you didn't return?

Hi Amethyst,

Sorry, I mistakenly only uploaded half my post!

Below is my full post. I think I'm okay. Was a bit of a shock that's all & will teach me to be more careful.


UPDATE: ADDRESSING ERROR! :doh:

On Thursday 18th August I was still awaiting contact from mediation (after posting my N180 on 4th August) when a form entitled 'N24 General Form of Judgement or Order' arrived on my doormat. saying that I had failed to return the file (N180 Directions Questionnaire) by the date specified in Form N149. It was a bit of a shock I can tell you, I thought I'd forfeited my defence. Then, upon reading it again, I realised I was being given a 2nd chance and had to file the Directions Questionnaire no later than 7 days after service of the Order with County Court Business Centre Northampton.
Confused, I scrabbled through my copies of the N180 I sent out to the other parties 2 weeks earlier and noticed errors in the postcodes to Lowell Solicitors & CCBC. One error was definitely my fault, the other could have been the post office as it was on my receipt slip.
Anyway all that's Academic .. just no more mistakes!
I printed off a new copy of N180, filled it in, copied it and sent (proof of 'special' delivery) the 'master ' to CCBC, and a copy to Lowell Solicitors on the same day I received the Order .. phew.

So now I am waiting again, don't think I made any more mistakes this time. Its so easy to mess up!
I should re-acquaint myself with the finer points of my defence again (and check 'proof of delivery' online)., I need to make sure I understand all my defence statements totally.
I have to admit I have been avoiding looking through it all, as it makes me feel a bit sick (yes, I know that prob makes me a lightweight !!)
Will do it tomorrow !!

Thank you everybody
(especially Amethyst) the bean :flypig:

Hi all,

SHORT UPDATE:

I phoned the County Court Business Centre today to check if they received the N180 'Directions Questionnaire' I had to re-send. The good news is they did. I was informed that I will now be contacted by mediation.

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Hi all,

UPDATE & 2 QUESTIONS: Any Feedback appreciated

UPDATE:
I received an email re: Mediation.
It says I need to be able to answer 3 questions with a yes, before it can go ahead. One being that I am satisfied I've seen all paperwork relating to the claim. As I am still awaiting a 'notice of assignment' I requested, this isn't the case..
I take it that if I inform them of this I won't be suitable for mediation.

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Hi all,

I just phoned Mediation.
In one of their questions they asked if I was satisfied I had received all paperwork from Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd? I replied that I was still awaiting documentation (The notice of assignment).
It was explained to me that mediation will not be possible if I am still awaiting paperwork from Lowell.
I assume this will now be referred back to the Court ..

Does anyone know how long this will take & is there anything else I can be doing?

thank you everyone

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Hi Amethyst (don't know if you're about, hope so),

AN UPDATE COURT CLAIM



Two weeks ago I received a 'Notice of Transfer of Proceedings' saying that my case is being transferred to County Court at York (386) (this is fine, it is what I asked for and the nearest Court to me).

Since then I have heard nothing.

I was wondering what happens next? (what is the process I have to go through between here and court please?)

Lastly: Do you think there is still chance they will discontinue?


Many thanks in advance

Hello Bean,

There is somewhat of a backlog in the system at present, it maybe worth checking with York CC on Monday.

It's possible that the claim may discontinued not predictable or the claim could be stayed if the claimant has not responded to the court.

Hiya xxx

Yes it's just a matter of waiting for the court to catch up xxx

[humanbean]

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Thanks nem,

I will check with York CC on Monday.

If its not been stayed or discontinued, am I right in thinking I have to give a witness statement before going into court?

ALSO:

If it is stayed what does that amount to?
If the claimant hasn't responded to the court aren't they obligated to remain within time limits?

Sorry for the questions, any info would be most welcome!

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt

Yes to WS Bean.

Stayed ( suspended by the court) ii so the claimant has to pay a fee to lift the stay, this is very open ended unfortunately and the claimant can pay the at anytime. If a stay is prolonged it is open for a claimant to apply for a claim to be struck out.

Re: Notice of impending Legal Action: 5 year old Catologue Debt
