So today is a day just like any other, the weather cant seem to make up its mind what it wants to do, so lets loose a little rain now and then. Today is also the 4th of March 2005, the day I ask a Judge to issue a Judgement against FSL about the CPU. The trip into Penzance is uneventful, roadworks here and there, the Exotic plant place still open, more roadworks in Penzance and some Kernow festival with kids dancing in the street.
Into the County Court I go, deliver my issue and ask the lady "they replied yet?" she checks her computer, and tells me "nope!" I ask "whats next babe?" she says "Judge makes his order, you'll get a letter next week" so I leave, my obligation fulfilled, my court order posted, FSL have lost the case without a shot being fired.
Or so you would think. Not so, this evening a guy phoned on behalf of FSL, claiming to be a solicitor. He was arrogant, abusive, rude, the sort of guy you want to feed to a Grim Reaper, then camp the only GR he has. First he talks to my mother, I'm busy playing computer games, he threatens her with court action, legal costs etc.. telling her she should drop the case! He'd phoned to ask if I were a minor apparently, of course, minor's issue court orders every single day in the UK (thanks J for that one hehehe).
So he talks to me, eventually, says he's a solicitor acting on behalf of FSL, that there is no case, thats its spurious and stuff like that, I try to point out to him repletedly that its too late, the orders been issued, there is nothing he can do, he interupts me constantly with "are you a solicitor?" and "your not a solicitor" naturally I reply "says who?" but ya, the sort of guy you want to feed to Hanibal Lecter. Of course I'm having fun, so I ask him "so, whats your name, I want to write this down" he doesnt give it to me, and hangs up.
So now its later, I've been told to inform the courts of the threatening/harrasing phone call, it all goes on record. Next up I'm considering phoning FSL and asking for the name of their solicitor, there are rules and regulations they must follow, set down by the law society, I'm thinking I'm well within my rights to complain. Not withstanding the Data Protection Act might have been broken here too (personal details from me sent to the guy, there is no legal representation here remember, I've won the case).
So poll time!!
