Urgent applications - QCAT Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal
Looks like you fill in a form 41.
Then call QCAT if you have queries.
Hey Rod,
Thanks very much - good idea - wish I known earlier about interim order.
Looks like you lodge both a minor debt application form (one of them, apparently there's a couple to select from), plus the interim order.
Like there's at last a Form 3 minor debt application form at Qcat, plus a Form 1 for a consumer minor debt claim. Been getting confused with it. Form 1 seems to include return of goods (eg to ask for car back maybe?), and other costs options.
There may be other minor debts claim form types. If I pay the Tower money however, do I use Form 3? Or another form number?
You wouldn't believe how much this tower is demanding now - it's very extreme - even much higher than before. Still, I'm very worried he's been hoping/to keep my car/just keep ramping the cost up out of reach so he does.
I was going to offer him money but nothing like that. Over $3,000 seems very out of order. Also he's now admired he's been in my car & gone thru & touched my personal belongings including papers & docs etc. Police don't care my car has been opened (it was locked) & apparently been broken into & my belongings & private materials/docs/cards/keys/money etc will have been interfered with. No authority for him to do that!
Seems either way will be taking this guy to Qcat now (thanks Rod & Jimmypatto).
Have gotten very worried he was trying to keep my car, & bumping costs up till I either paid a very high /even higher fee, or caved & left my car with him (which wasn't gonna happen). Wish the lawyer had told me about the interim order & precisely which minor debts firm (given he still had my car ).
Tower has jacked his price up even more to over $3200 now. I have offered him cash but haven't said how much. First time got anything in writing from towee was a rude text today (after I finally got him on phone after my letter ) after he never rang me back (yet again). He said he didn't have to & I said 'of course you need to communicate'.
This is his way - all sorts of lame dishonest excuses from him not communicating, calling, texting, etc - then the rude text - contacts with him are worrying, as is the criminal amount he's charging, & he comes across to clients like me as very crotchety & dishonest
Seriously hope Qcat do something about him, though he seems he may be type to avoid paying up - time will tell...
What can I ask Qcat for in terms of costs / damages - any ideas?
The experience is distressing - eg car broken into, extreme unreasonable fees, the things he & the other one state, the demand to keep my car unless you pay the extortion money, my belongings inclyding valuables, papers, etc all touched apoatentky, the car being broken into & opened & no one doung anything at all, & hence forth he got his hands on my stuff in the car, the way he speaks to his victims like me, hes very crotchy, & crafty, etc... it's all a bit shocking really
Would like to hear back from people who have gone to qcat & obtained a favourable decision, about your circumstances, & how its going at Qcat for you, inckuding those chasing money afyer a favourable Qcat ruling.
I seem to have a few problems/factors to put in my Qcat application
