It's good to see someone at the same stage as me. Will have to compare notes as we go along!

I don't want to think of the money yet. Not until I have it in my hands!

It's been a while since I last posted but here's another update.

Since returning my aq I heard nothing for weeks then received a letter on the 7th August saying that my case, as a result of an order was being transferred to Cardiff county court ( from my local court).

Have now received a letter yesterday, stating

BEFORE HIS HONOUR JUDGE G HINKINBOTTOM

Upon reading the Allocation Questionaires and file

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1. This claimgiving rise to important legal issues of general importance, it is allocated to the Multi-Track and transferred to Cardiff county court for case management.

2. By 4pm on 1 September 2006, each party shall serve and file propsed directions through to trial. Unless either party requests a hearing, the court will then give directions through to trial without a hearing.

3. All matters relating to this case shall be reserved to the Designated Circuit Judge, unless expressly released by him.

4. Any party may apply tp set aside vary or stay this order pursuant to CPR Rule 3.3 (5) & (6).



Has anyone else had a letter like this? Could really do with some advice and help on what I am to supply the judge at this point. Getting a bit worried now!

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry I can't help you on this one Twinkle - hopeful a mod orsomebody in the know will get back to you. Have you PM'd a mod?

[alanfromderby]

My initial gut feeling is that you will now receive a very fast settlement, however I would suggest that you need to go through your claim thoroughly, and read through the information again in the FAQ's to ensure that you fully understand the legal arguments.

In the meantime I will alert admin to your case.

[Tobes]

wow, I think I'm right in thinking that on multi-track you can request full disclosure, i.e. you can ask barclays to provide ALL documents relating to how they calculate their costs, how they arrived at the sums for charges, their accounting procedures etc etc

[barracad]

twinkle - is your case number 6QZ230852 ?

[twinkle]

Thanks to everyone who replied to my plea!

alanfromderby - thanks. I'll let someone know if I get stuck.

Tobes - going to get in touch with the court re multi-track. They apparently have an information sheet on this (but didn't send it!)

barracad - no, my case number is 6QZ30852.

Will keep you all posted

Ok as there is only one digit missing the case number I have may be a typo - please check the PM I have sent you.

I think that this is an extrordinarily important development.
It seems that we have a judge here who may be aware of what is going on and has decided to push it to the limit.
He has ordered a multi-track trial which means standard disclosure from the bank.
You may not realise it but this order has been made by a circuit judge.
This probably means that a District judge noticed the case, realise what it signified and referred it to a circuit judge who then made the order.
I expect that that the bank will settle but it shows that maybe some judges are getting fed up and that they understand where the trouble is coming from.
I think that this development is extremly positive. I do not think that it is anti-claimant.

Also, I feel (only a feeling) that because the court has exercised its own discretion to allocate the case to the Multitrack on a low value case, that even if Twinkle loses it will be unlikely that the court awards costs against him.

Twinkle: I have pm'd you. I think that you should contact me urgently and also let me have the scans which I have asked you for

[squishy]

Wow, this seems like a very interesting development. BEst of luck, Twinkle, will be watching with interest!

[caro]

Try not to worry Twinkle. We are all right behind you, although it is still quite likely that you will get settlement pretty soon I imagine. If not I am sure that BankFodder makes sure that you are well prepared for what might lie ahead.

[twinkle]

Thanks squishy and caro! It's good to know you're out there.

Anyway, I have received excellent advice from BankFodder. I have some things to think about and will keep everyone posted as it happens!

Best of luck twinkle following your thread got everything crossed for you

[twinkle]

Just an update for you all.

After some good advice and serious thinking I have decided to carry on with my claim, and as of yesterday, Barclays and the courts received my proposed directions through to trial. As some of you know my case was put onto Multi Track by the judge.

Barclays have until Friday 4pm to do the same, so here I wait

[Bookworm]

And since KJ is on hols until the 9th (I think).... that could prove tricky, lol.

[misspickles]

Wow Twinkle! Youve given me loads of inspiration to pursue mine to the end . . . .this is a fab thread thanks!
wishing you lots of good fortune!

I thought it was the 11th! Not that is matters! good luck twinkle - surely the fact it's not on small claims will only make them more desperate to settle out of court?

[Nightstar]

KJ's on hols till 11/9/06, Best of luck twinkle.

[Welshman]

Got absolutely everything crossed for you. Good Luck!
