Default Help with preparing a court bundle?

Hi

Although I am still waiting on a court date, I am trying to prepare early, but as a complete novice at anything court related (almost - ahem...), I'm having trouble wading through tons of pdfs and web pages..

I read jonni2bad's bundle

jonni2bad v Halifax - Got the money but no default removal

It looks great, and I imagine pretty scary for the bank (almost as if I know what I'm doing), but I'm not sure which bits relate to credit cards alone, and don't apply to current account charges.

Also, Which particular sections of the various acts are most relevant. Anyone know any paragraph numbers etc?

I'm not just being lazy here (honest), but these legal documents can be pretty brain melting stuff. And I'm a rocket scientist.

Hiya

I used Jonnis bundle list as my starting point....It is a matter of reading through it all and picking out which bits you think are relevant and would like to refer to in court.....think of it like a school project (I know that was a long time ago) thats what I did.

Nice one, cheers for that.. Lets hope I get better marks than I did in school!

I was thinking of writing a letter to Barclays asking them to justify the charges, and requesting a breakdown of where 35 quid goes. Generally just badger them about a bit. I'd like to present their non-commital reply to a judge. Is this ok at this stage ie waiting for a court date?

Hi Helz

Yes house of commons select comittee is relevant

Print off the relevant parts from the websites, refering to the original source.

If you use bookworms basic bundle, it will make a lot more sense.

Theres a link to it in my signature.

If you are on a work computer, they sometimes block zip files as they could be carrying virus's in them.

If you're not on a work pc, then just google winzip and download the latest version and that should do it!

Please help i am about to put my claim in because Abbey have told me the charges are fair and in line with other banks/building soc. I am trying to get my head around the court bundle and the daily interest. Do I use the whole figure Abbey owes me which is 3245.00 with the date my first charge was taken in 2000. I calulated the 8% interest on the spread sheet on the web site last week to I need to do it again this week to get a more recent figure. I am feeling a bit nervous but also annoyed due to abbeys response, please help so as i do not make any mistakes. My 2 wk deadline was yesterday i want to file claim by friday. Is it okay to just use transcipts of Mcnamara radio interview and also the Money program. Look forward to hearing from someone.

Hi, masally

Don't know if anyone else has answered you already but here goes anyway!

You're getting somewhat ahead of yourself and worrying unduly.

The court bundle doesn't come into play for a long time yet (if ever): you have plenty of time to get your head around it. Don't bother with the McNamara interview at this time: you're only looking to file a claim.

Take the time to read the FAQs and the step-by-step guide and you'll find your questions largely answered. But:

you should enter each item on your spreadsheet individually, with date and details. The interest will be automatically calculated up to what ever date you have put in your 'date of claim' cell. To get a more recent figure, simply enter a more recent date: it will do it all.

Why not start your own thread, where you can put everything down? You'll attract a group of people who will be willing to help you - and to learn from you as you go along.

Best wishes

Westy

goto templates library for the letter befor action, read threads for woolwich & barclays ( my claim is woolwich but follows exactly barclays proceedure). The Welshmans thread is good as are sooooo many more. yes definately send another letter to show how reasonably you are acting throughout but give them just 14 more days before you proceed "without further notice"
