This was what i was thinking too, surely any costs awarded would have been to the case as a whole, not each individual creditor/claimant? What if there were 20? Or 30? 600 each wouldnt be that smart surely. So again, surely this is just a scare tactic used?

But as this thread is open again it's probably worth looking at Felicitas email especially as I know it will annoy them.
On Thursday 28th January 2021, the county court at Doncaster considered the first case about debts to Felicitas.
The hearing followed the debtor’s failure to respond to any of the letters sent to him by Felicitas, until we served a statutory demand on him.
The judge ordered the debtor to pay Felicitas’ costs of £XXX.
We have not yet asked a court to order the debtor to pay the debt itself, which is a substantial sum.
Finally as I said over the weekend - if you received an email from Felicitas and haven't told them yet that you dispute the fact you owe them money do it tonight via emailLast edited by eek; 8 February 2021, 19:24.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Of course, if it was ex-parte it would be valid. You can only obtain ex-parte court orders in the "family" courts against men....Comment

The entire point of me saying reply here is that it reduces Felicitas's options to proceed as I suspect the next step (in early March) will be they pick an undisputed Statutory Demand and try to enforce payment while documenting via email mailshots week by week step by step.
And I suspect every email will annoy them as much as every written dispute letter did as it reduces Felicitas remaining options for that member to the one they are trying to avoid. Which is heading to an IoM court and demonstrating that the debt is valid.Last edited by eek; 9 February 2021, 08:56.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

..And I like putting this link in at regular intervals.
Statutory Demands and what to do if you get one"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

IF you do receive one, then absolutely do what Eek n Co advise. If not, how would you know?Comment
