fallen foul of unfair contract

More on Handepay and Merchant Rentals. My partner appears to have signed a 5 year contract with Merchant rentals in Fen 2012. You have to give 12 months notice or it rolls over for another two years and so on.
She is being sued or £660 now and we went to court last week but as her mum had died the previous day, the case was adjourned. Handepay/Merchant Rentals refused the adjournment and instructed their solictior to carry on although the judge agreed with us. Further handepay/Merchant Rentals then asked us to pay their costs - how heartless can you be?
Tyhe judge refused of course which pleased me and it means Handepay Merchant Rentals are alreayd down. We go back to court shortly.
Why do I saw Handepay and Merchant Rentals. Well they have lots of connections and if i win I will post my defence over the connections here - it was a Handepay salesperson that came out, but it's Merchant Rentals that's taking us to court.0 -
We won the case. As we were a sole trader, consumer credit laws apply so the 5 year contract is deemed irrelevant.
I was also able to prove a very close connection between Handepay and Merchant Rentals to the courts satisfaction.
The judge refused their costs too and even rejected their argument they use relating to an earlier case.
I will shortly set-up a new website with all the documents I used on it - merchantrentalscourtcase.com0
