As always, a big thank you to all the moderators/respondents for their tireless work on this great forum.
I have 3 simple questions please:
I'm embroiled in the usual battle against a PCN issued by the usual cowboys, and have followed all directions to date including filing the defence statement on time, AOS etc. Finally on 5/2/21 received notice from CCBC that claim was being transferred to County Court Hearing Centre. Notice then dated 25/3/21 of General Form of Judgement Order advising that the hearing will be by telephone in July and to advise by 4pm on 5th April of a telephone number for contact. (note 5th April was Easter Bank Holiday Monday!). Also dated the same date - Notice of Hearing with similar details.
so my two questions:
1. To date, none of the communications from CCBC or CCHC have contained instructions on filing of my witness statement - is this normal? When should I expect to be able to file the statement?
2. While I provided the telephone number for contact on the July hearing (and received an email receipt) I was 14 hours late in sending this - can't believe that they gave a deadline on a bank holiday - am I now screwed on this?
3. In spite of directing the cowboy's legal firm (BW Legal) not to contact me by phone and post only, (they acknowledged this in writing) they have now contacted me again on my mobile asking if I want to avoid a court hearing and settle - I advised that I would not be settling this with anything that involved me paying them money. The mobile number is the one for the hearing - do they have access to this? Can I read anything into their contact or is this just a usual ploy hoping I would panic? or are they panicking? (OK, more than 3 questions here!)
