+1.

Their claim is based wholly upon payment not being made in the prescribed manner;
Here's my bank statement which shows a payment of £** on the day in question. This equates to X hours' parking at the prevailing rate;
Exhibit 6 purports ........

UPDATE:

I phoned the court just now and they said there is no update on the file, the payment for court was due on Feb 21 and the case hasn't been updated since Feb 05

However, I asked if the discontinuation thing had been filed and the lady didn't know.

She gave me an email and told me to email it and mark the case as urgent asking these details - this advice didn't fill me with hope.

Should I file the witness statement response given here, take the womans advice, or both?

Sorry for the inconvenience at this point guys.

Please provide clear information when you request assistance, otherwise you are expecting us to trawl back through your thread which is time consuming.

What is the hearing date? Why did you redact that? You have a deadline of 14 days before the hearing date (which we don't know what that is!!!) to submit your WS.

What was the email address the "lady" gave you and what did she tell you to email to that address???

If the deadline for hearing payment was 21st February and they haven't made that payment, then the case is struck out. Just read the order:

If they have not paid the fee, then you can claim your costs.

Please answer the questions above!

hearing on 12th March 2025 at 11:00.

This is the hearing date ^^

I called the court because I was advised to do it on Feb 24th by someone on the forum.

If I call a court I expect the person on the phone to tell me yes or no since I would have thought this was a very basic question compared to most queries, but got told maybe.

I was told on the phone to email enquiries.birmingham.countycourt@justice.gov.uk

Subject: URGENT (Case number)

and ask the same question as before.

So, send an email with the following, if you have not yet done so to: enquiries.birmingham.countycourt@justice.gov.uk and CC yourself:

Subject: Urgent: Request for Confirmation of Claim Status – Claim Ref: [Insert Claim Reference Number]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to urgently request clarification regarding the status of the claim referenced above.

According to the court order, unless the claimant paid the trial fee of £27.00 by 4:00 pm on 21 February 2025, the claim was ordered struck out with effect from that date. Given that the deadline has passed and the file has not been updated since 5 February 2025, please confirm whether the claim has been struck out for non-payment of the hearing fee and if the hearing has been vacated accordingly.

I would appreciate your prompt response to this urgent inquiry.

Yours faithfully,

Ty, ive sent that, however the response is:

"unless the Court considers your query to be of an urgent nature, we will aim to respond to your e-mail routinely within ten working days. Please do not file documents via multiple methods e.g. by Fax and DX."

My options now are send the witness statement out of precaution, or I can physically go to the court myself and ask them there, this would be hugely inconvenient but im willing to do it for a straight answer from them.

Did you mark your email as "urgent", preferably in all caps and with a couple of asterisk either side of the word urgent?

**URGENT**

yes

To save me scrolling back through the thread, have you received a WS from the claimant?

There really is no point in wasting time on a WS if the claimant has either failed to pay the hearing fee or have discontinued and failed to notified you.

b789 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 24, 2025, 06:55:54 pm »

Never mind. I have just gone through the thread and I see that they did send a WS and I prepared a WS for you to approve. As mentioned, there will be two exhibits to attach. You should refer to the exhibits in the WS, sequentially and call them XX01 and XX02, where "XX" is your initials.

Attach each of the exhibits with a header:

Quote

IN THE COUNTY COURT
Claim No: [Claim Number]

BETWEEN:

[Claimant]
Claimant

- and -

[Defendant's Full Name]
 Defendant

EXHIBIT XX01

Here is a link to the transcript of VCS v Edward that is one of your exhibits:

VCS v Edward (2023) [HOKF6C9C]

Don't send it until the deadline and as close to 4pm as you dare.

But do give yourself enough time to deal with any last minute technical issues.

Also, it shouldn't be an issue here as you aren't submitting many exhibits, but check your attachments aren't enormous file sizes.

I have now finished my witness statement.

Afaik I should be sending to DCB legal and CCing myself in.

I'm assuming I don't need to email this witness statement to the court as well?

b789 · « **Reply #72 on:** February 25, 2025, 11:22:24 am »

You absolutely do have to send it to the court. You are only copying in DCB Legal. Send a single email addressed to enquiries.birmingham.countycourt@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC in yourself.

You should try calling the court again to check if the hearing fee was paid and whether the hearing on 12th March has been vacated. There is also an email address for "Listings" at the court you could try to find out if the hearing has been vacated: hearings.birmingham.countycourt@justice.gov.uk

Point 6 of one of the letters you received explains that you do need to send it to the court:

Phoned the court - Hearing Fee has been paid

I have submitted the witness statement with my bank statement which proves I paid.

Bank statement shows:

Payment to ECP on the disputed date - £1.50

Do I need to take any paperwork to the court or is everything already done since I sent it?
