    The debt collectors continue to ring me seeking to settle out of court on behalf of claimant "to save costs and court time". Becoming annoying.

    Hi blackdog is bw legal and a person named [Removed by Forum Team].
    I have checked my defence and witness statemets and no where does it state I actually used the internet,although I will have done,its merely their accusation in their WS.

    If it is Ms Kemp, perhaps an enquiry regarding the colour of her her undergarments may be the way to go.  . It seems to work with me with unwanted calls from fake Amazon Prime calls from Indian ladies.  
    Haaaa briliant
  • Edit to add checking my WS my exact words are "Having no legal training it is likley I used the internet. Surely the judge  cant allow such costs,do I mention the matter up front?
  • So latest update.I received an email from them  seeking costs in court for "unreasonable behaviour" they cited in their witenss statement that I c&p info from internet in my defence statement.,What I stated was I sought assitance from the internet in addition to legal help which I think is perfectly acceptable. Their fees total over a thousand pounds with VAT! Obvously worrying.
    Their fees are for wok carried out ,surely they should have mentioned this earlier also.
    I do hope that email is not marked "without predidise" and you have the ability to disclose the threats and bullying action used by the company and itd legal entity , and you are rather shocked at this , only help from family etc has stopped you paying the alledged invoice and you have been worrying about small claim fees of over a thousand pounds +vat ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, etc etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, can they ask for £1000 + vat sir "  weep weep

    I wouldn't be consumed with their 'you've used the internet' nonsense. As one Judge said when they threw in this line, 'So what'?  The internet is but an information source; in days of yore, you'd have been down the local library reading up on the issues. It's no different. What would they have said? 'The Defendant has spent time looking up his references in library books, so his case should be dismissed'?

    Load of bowlocks!

    Why is it worrying? you know from readin ghis trhread, and with reference to CPR27.14(2)(g) that they have no chance ofg getting those costs, as getting help online for a defence is not unreasonable.

    Ive just c&p it(ironically)

     I write in respect of the above matter (case number etc redacted)

    As stated within the Claimant’s witness statements, the Defendant’s use of an internet template defence is unreasonable behaviour. I attach by way of service the Claimant’s statement of costs which will be relied upon at the forthcoming small claims hearing. The Claimant will be seeking costs due to the Defendant’s unreasonable behaviour.

     

    The Defendant has been attached to this email by way of service.

     

    Kind regards,

    I never stated I used any template.

    Well until I sat down and gave it thought you know. I did sort of realise as you said but always a doubt with me,just the way I think.
