After a couple of letters from shoesmiths stating willing to accept reduced offers. No response from me.
Saturday received a letter from them issuing a notice of discontinuation and that they would be informing the courts.
Will I get notification from the court on this.
Any advice would be great.

I've replied on your other thread here >

No you won’t get a letter from the court.

The Claimant sends you (Defendant) a Notice of Discontinuance and files a copy at court which confirms that it’s been served on you. From what you say that’s been done.

Thats the end of the matter.

Once a claim has been Discontinued the Claimant cannot Issue a new claim based on the same or substantially the same facts (including any legal arguments which you raised in your Defence even if they weren’t raised in the Particulars of Claim) without making an Application to the court for permission which they are unlikely to get.

A Discontinued claim is like it never happened for Statute Barred purposes, so if this debt is due to be SB by now then it could well be if you haven’t paid or acknowledged the debt for six years. However the date the account defaulted may be relevant.

If they have discontinued the claim, they have caused losses to you e.g. time taken in preparation of statements for court, taking legal advice, going to court (days pay plus travel costs) etc. You could claim the costs of time spent as a litigant in person (LIP) and expenses paid out. On the other hand you could chill out and forget the experience.

Chill out, won, not worth the effort!
