    Sueyw, why don't you start posting real links instead of changing http to hxxp?

    You've been here long enough and you are just making work both for yourself and others.

    Sounds reasonable.

    Did you send the letter to Excel, not their solicitors (remind me, are BW Legal not involved?).

    Have you actually seen a claim form yet?

    Unfortunately, Keith, although I have been a member of the forums for a long time, I haven't posted enough to be afforded the privilege of posting links.

    The letter went to Excel, they haven't involved BW Legal (I did wonder whether they'd dumped them finally or are they all just the same people anyway?)
    The only 'form' I've seen is from them was the LBC and the financial assessment forms!

    No they haven't dumped them and are not the same company at all.

    Sometimes Excel run their own cases. I think your planned reply is good, make sure you email that tonight with a copy of your letter (do not say whether or not you have proof of posting, just express surprise that they did not reply, given the disability discrimination).

    Yes you have.

    A postcount of fifteen or so is usually enough.

    Be brave. Try it. :D

    Just copy and paste the link as you have before but do not bother to change the http to hxxp.
  • My forms have arrived from the CC Business Centre and I have submitted the AOS online.
    Should I have been informed of the court location at this point?
    I'm not holding out much hope that they'll back down having received my email today.

    No. That comes later, after you have filed a Defence.
    The reason being that unless you file a Defence there is no point in transferring the case anywhere.

    No. But please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2, which will give you full guidance as to what happens and when, right the way through to the hearing (should it ever get that far).
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Acknowledge the claim first that is before you do anything else and check it has been acknowledged by MoneyClaimOnline.

    Their greatest source of income comes from people not reading the details or understanding the process.

    The Newbie's thread is useful but If in doubt ask.
