stayed claims

Re: stayed claims

The two claims I had were stayed in Feb 11 & Oct 12 so, like you Fredbare I'll be leaving those well alone too!

And, as your avatar reminds me, no gentleman would ever wish to meddle with a lady's stays!

Re: stayed claims

Thank you Niddy

Have looked at the user guide on the money claim online website, it states all data will be deleted 3 years after the last action on a claim, I will phone the Court and find out the status of the claim, will let you know what they say.

Thanks again

Fredbare

What did they say??

I'd be very interested to know too!

I've a stayed claim from 2008. It was stayed after filing a defence that no CCA was forthcoming.

Like you Fredbare it doesn't show up on MCOL.

I contacted Northampton who simply confirmed it was stayed.

I did think about forking out for a strike out but decided to let sleeping dogs lie.

I know it'll never become SB but I also don't think it's likely to come back to the surface either.

Hi everyone

Northampton confirmed what their user guides state, the claim will be deleted from mcol 3 years after the last action on the claim, the claim is still there and you will need the claim number to phone them and find out the status of the claim. Like you Oldyboy I have decided to let sleeping dogs lie, my two claims have been stayed for 4 years and fingers crossed they stay there.

Best wishes Fredbare

If yours is stayed from 2008 a judge wouldn't allow a new claim without an exceptional reason. Quite simply there isn't one - therefore you can pretty much forget this. Pointless paying for a strike out application. They're going to struggle explaining a 7 year wait.....

Re: stayed claims

Hello evryone

I logged in to MCOL and my stayed claim has disappeared, I wondered if this was normal procedure after a claim has been stayed for any length of time, its been over 3 years.

Thank you in advance

Regards Fredbare

probably been discontinued mate.

Re: stayed claims

Hi Transformer

Below is the defence I made for one of the claims. It is short so not worth scanning in.

I xxx am the defendant in this case and make the following statement as my defence to the claim made by xxxx.

It is denied that the defendant signed or received the agreement mentioned in the particulars of claim. The agreement number and date do not correspond.

The claimant has not acknowledged or responded to a cpr 31.14 request received by them on xxx which requested copies of the documents mentioned in their particular of claim.

The default notice did not allow the required 14 clear days and charges were included in the balance.

Without the documents requested the defendant cannot admit or deny that a compliant agreement was signed and reserve the right to amend this defence when my request for documents is complied with.

I am still waiting for the documents.

Both claims were stayed early 2011



The other defence is longer and will need to be scanned.

Re: stayed claims

Hi fredbare...any chance of posting up your defence minus any personal details please? I have posted a copy of my defence against HSBC...and like yours mine is also been stayed....since Dec 2010. That is nearly a year and a half ago.

Re: stayed claims

I'm no lawyer but the longer a case is stayed the harder it is for the claimant to get it back into court. You've already passed the first year anniversary which should help even though I don't think there is any specific time limit or sell-by date for doing this. I believe the claimant has to apply to the court to get the stay lifted before they can do anything else and this may be an opportunity for you to put your case forward at the same time (e.g. a strike-out may be an option). Let sleeping dogs lie could well have been good advice at the time.

Can you say exactly why each one of these claims was stayed so someone can give you a fuller response. Did you reach an agreement with the claimant to make payments, because creditors normally try to get you to agree to a consent order if you do that so they've got something formal on the court file which they can use for enforcement purposes if you default.

It would also help if you would say at what point in the proceedings the stay(s) happened. Had you filed your defence in each case and then the claimant had second thoughts when they read it

Even if everything has gone quiet for now you still need to know what your next move should be in case the claimant decides to resurrect these cases. You need to establish whether you would have any grounds to get the claim struck out if that happens, or whether you have a strong enough legal argument/defence to pressure them to agree to 'discontinue'.

Tell us more and we'll tell you more

The claims were stayed after I filed defence. I will post more details later.

Thank you
