    Joanna Connolly Solicitors

    Just a thread to publicise another successful defence by Joanna Connolly Solicitors! This was another claim instigated by Drydens Fairfax (DF) for an old Capital One account that Cap Quest were chasing. So far as I understand it, DF ignored all requests for information issued by JCS and appeared to have little but apathy to any part of the process other than issuing a claim in the first place. Their only participation in the process seemed to be to withdraw two days before the case was due to be heard.

    Thanks once again to all at JCS and I'd repeat the comments I've made in earlier threads in Success Stories than I wholeheartedly recommend JCS in all respects.

      Indeed, well done to all involved.

      ...ignored all requests for information issued by JCS and appeared to have little but apathy to any part of the process other than issuing a claim in the first place
      Does anyone see a pattern here?

        Call me a sadist but I am actually looking forward to having JCS throw the kitchen sink at an organisation who seeks to issue a claim without their paperwork being absolutely meticulous.....

          It must feel good to have a 100% success rate against all your claims

          We're always happy to help.

          It's particularly satisfying when the Claimant gives up trying to prove a hopeless case so it never gets tested in court.

          Consumers in debt should take some comfort from the fact that issuing a claim and winning a case is not an automatic outcome; especially if the Claimant doesn't have the documents they need to succeed in the first place, and they know it!

            Thanks Di, it certainly does! I'm still aghast with how these companies can issue claims in the full knowledge they're not authorised to do so and apparently ignore the legal process, presumably in the hope a defendant will give-in to their threats. I'm fortunate to be as well-supported as I am by JCS.

              In any other situation it would be called out as fraud, what I find more bizarre is the fact that this behaviour hasn’t been shut down by the law makers? Perhaps If these company owners were tried in a court of law themselves for fraud etc then maybe there would be much fewer of the leeches in circulation now?

                That is so true, it seems like debt is the only time you can use court without sufficient evidence, can you imagine if the police took the same approach even with evidence the police still struggle to take cases to court but yet a DCA can say you owe money without any evidence and if you are not on the ball they will get a ccj on the basis of zero evidence/incorrect paperwork.

                  I think that is a tad naive to think all prosecutions happen with good or even any evidence. Also in debt cases they can often show you have used the card and even owe the money, what they can not show is the necessary evidence to show they have the right to enforce. The amendments that keep happening often make their task easier as opposed to protecting the consumer.

                      I do get what you were saying and it’s true that if you get arrested you at least get free duty help in the cells - although I recommend both books by the Secret Barrister for some eye watering facts about the criminal justice system.

                      With debt of course you get no official help unless you can pay for it- even winning costs doesn’t mean you are not out of pocket as the judge might not agree everything. Therefore many people either cave in and agree to pay or get undefended ccjs - Now that is criminal
