  • Hi-

    I received a letter from my local county court last week saying that the claim has been stayed. However it’s given CEL until today to come back with amended draft particulars which they have.

    I’m just looking for advice on what to expect now as it is seeming like the are determined to go to court.

    Thanks

    No, theyre determined to get as much value out of their filing fee as they can

    They;ll make you jump through hoops until they have to pay the hearing fee, then they will discontinue. So you have to do everything right, and they get away weith it, again.
  • Thank you all for all of your advice so far.

    I have received a letter from cel saying they will accept reducing the amount to £100 as full and final settlement but also a Notice if Allocation from the court. Now I just do not know where to go from here- to pay £100 just to end this or to continue with the small claims track. The hearing fee is £25 which I have surprising I would have expected it to have been higher.

    If the court was to favour cel could they claim all of their costs from me inc travel etc?!

    Many thanks!

    All depends how brave you are. When these companies
    do this is a final try on to get money from you and they
    are very unsure of their case

    CEL are well known for doing this and then discontinue

    If you went to court the base charge is £100 and then court
    fees, as you say £25.

    When you win, and its a very high percentage that you
    will especially as it's CEL who are known to the courts
    for their rubbish claims
    You can then claim your costs against CEL

    It's only a small claims court, hence it's only £25
    Again as it's a small claims court, costs they can claim
    is strictly limited and if they get greedy, the judge
    will knock them down

    Be aware though of the dirty tricks they do ...... read this

    See what others say
  • i have received the following letter from QDR solicitors, please advise if i should pay this. also if this has been covered somewhere before please direct me to it.

    the letter states that it is a formal letter of claim, pursuant to pre-action protocol for debt claims.
