Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Hi Folks,

It's not going away !! Just received this..

"Notice of Allocation to Fast Track.

Varde - Claimant
Hephaesus - Defendant

District Judge xxx has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed, and allocated the claim to the fast track.

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1. Each party shall give the other party standard disclosure of documents by serving a list of documents by 4.00pm on 17 February 2012.

2. All request for inspection of (or copies of) documents must be made by 4.00pm on 24 February 2012.

3. The parties mutually disclose by 4.00pm on 30 March 2012 the signed statements of all witnesses of fact on whose evidence they intend to rely together with any notices to rely on hearsay evidence.

4. Each party must file a completed pre trial checklist by 4.00pm on 27 April 2012 and the Claimant must pay a fee of £110.00. In addition a hearing fee of £545.00 (fast track) or £1090.00 (multi track) must be paid by the Claimant. The parties must file with their listing questionnaires a succinct case summary and schedule of issues (which they must seek to agree) and, if any party seeks leave to call oral expert evidence, copies of the relevant reports and any joint statement(s) and/or replies to question.

If the court is notifies in writing that the hearing is no longer required the hearing fee will be refunded in full or in part in certain circumstances, please refer to the leaflets explaining more about what happens when your case is allocated to track.


Notes.

You and the other party, or parties, may agree to extend the time periods given in the directions
except
- where a rule, practise discretion or court order requires a party to comply with a direction within a specified time and specifies the consequences of failing to comply;
- when an extension of time will affect the date given for returning the pre-trial checklist or the date of the trial or trial period.

If you do not comply with these new directions, any other party to the claim will be entitled to apply to the court for an order that your statement of case (claim or defence) be struck out.


5. The claim (issue) will be tried during the trial window commencing on 11 June 2012 and ending on 29 June 2012.

The provisional time estimate for the trial is 4 hours and the parties must inform the court if that time estimate varies."


That's the latest... Am in my "completely baffled" mode at the moment as it always takes me a few days to start getting to grips with the legal stuff.

I have no documents that I can think of to disclose to Varde, I am still waiting to see what they have.

Any comments or advice most welcome.

Cheers.

Have you received there Reply to Defence as ordered by the judge? They were ordered to do that by 26th Jan. Varde should have sent you a copy. If they havent I think you could apply for a stay or strike out until they do comply with that ordrr.

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Just a thought, could an SDAR request be put into Verde and Heggarty and posted today? Surely the defendant would need all the paperwork to defend properly and could said application letters be taken to court? If the OP had employed a solicitor he would probably have got matters halted a little to give time to prepare so why shouldn't a litigant in person?

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Hi Guys just to clarfiy, my last post on here was in response to a post by peterbard which has clearly been removed, though he had posted the same post in a number of threads. I don't think i need to explain what it was regarding as alot of you will no all about it i expect. So please don't let me last post here distract any of you from the thread.

Shadow, the CPR31.14 request covers all the disclosure of documents that they are basing the claim on, if my memory serves me correctly Varde and Heggarty failed to respond to that which is a breach of court process.

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Hi,
I still have received nothing from Varde,IND or Heggarty despite my request I sent to IND at the onset of all this. They took my £10 fee tho but ignored me until the judge ordered them to send me a new claim form. They sent what the judge asked them to do but so far have ignored my request.
I am not sure how to go about the disclosure of documentation as I have nothing to show them except the stuff they've just sent me. The court letter states that both parties should contact each other and try and resolve it before it gets to court, however, Varde or IND never answer and I don't want to try phoning them as they always run rings around you on the phone and I end up getting annoyed with whoever I'm speaking to.
The judge gave them till the 26th to file their reply to defence so I shall contact the court that day and see if they filed one.

Cheers.

The way things are looking, it's not a black book that's needed here, more like a big black bucket!

If they havnt Heph ask the court to tell you what you need to do to advise the judge that you've not received any documents (especially the Reply to Defence) and that they dont respond to your letters. I think a letter from you to the court explaining this will be enough.

Hi Folks,

Have received at the last minute a reply to defence from Varde. I have attached pics of their reply. I have also attached pics of Vardes credit licence and previous licence which they have enclosed. The lapse date is visible if you compare them. I have also attached a pic of the statement of account which they have sent, this looks more like a bill than a statement to me and I am sure it is not what is required under the CCA. They have also sent the credit agreement with ticks for signatures which I have posted before. Along with the hundreds of pages of Virgin statements again.
I am going to stick to my guns and insist on a signed agreement as anybody with a type writer could knock up what they have sent. Not one of the hundreds of pages they have sent me has my signature on, so I am going to deny everything.

Cheers.

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Reporting the companies, like those involved in this case, to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is something that needs to be done promplty. The ICO now has the power to give transgressors a hammering without having to take them to court. The maximum penalty the ICO can impose is £500K. So far, ICO have dished out penalties of £40K and £60K, respectively, to two companies who contravened the DPA.

Best of luck, anyway.

Tougher requirements for obtaining consent unveiled in data protection proposals


The streets of London (UK) used to be paved with gold...Blair, Brown and little brown envelope so called regulation.

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP

Thanks for the link about the clampdown on data protection, Angry Cat. Taken them long enough, hasn't it?

I can remember regulation and kicking the arses of bank managers who stepped out of line. Sadly, the scumbags can now get away with murdering the economies of entire countries.

Re: HELP. In Court vs Varde Investments/Hegarty LLP



Hi Folks,
Received a List Of Documents from IND today. They have a lot listed but most of them are ones the court has ordered them to produce anyway. Not sure what the letter from Proteus Investigations is all about. I don't have any documents apart from the ones I have been sent since this court case started, should I list them and resubmit them or is the fact that the court already has them enough? I have till the 17th to submit my list.

Cheers.

Heph.
