    I suspect I will have to pay the £120 court fee's/solicitors bill for Mortimer Clarkes representative, but in the grand scale of things I can scrape that money together and move on.

    I don't see why. In a small claim track case each side bears its own costs
  • Hi Fatbelly, when I went to the court hearing the solicitor representing Mortimer Clarke expressed that her £120 fee would need to be covered, and the judge agreed that I would cover the cost. I can't remember if this was only if they could prove me wrong. I need to find my notes and double check. Honestly though if I have to pay it's fine, the situation has been sorted and I can continue to sort out the rest of my credit history :)

    I understand what you're saying, and if you receive an order to pay, in writing, then you must pay it. But I suspect the other side were asking for fixed costs in the event that your application was unsuccessful.
  • Ah ok, well we will see, and yes I will be def be paying it!!!


    Thanks again for all you advice :)
