Hi Goalltheway, welcome to the forum.

While you're waiting for your account info to arrive, I suggest a little light reading to while away the hours.
Spend at least a couple of days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide in the library section. That will answer most of your questions.

Good luck with your claim.

Default N1 form

Hi
can anyone help?

I tried cutting and pasting the particulars of claim into the N1 form but I exceeded the max allowed characters (1080). I really don't know which info I can leave out before submitting it to the courts.

Any ideas?

If you're using N1 use these POC's
4. Particulars of claim - N1 - updated version now available

If you're using MCOL use these
5. Money Claim On-Line (MCOL) Particulars of Claim

Cheers Michael I think I'll use the MCOL. Will there be anything else I'll have to add to this, ie the exact dates my account was debited and the amount stolen by the bank?

No, just replace the a/c no, dates and amount claimed etc in the POC's with your own details.

After filing send 2 copies of your schedule of charges, clearly marked with your claim no. + a brief covering letter asking for them to be filed with your claim to:

The Court Manager,
Money Claim Online
Northampton County Court
21-27 St. Katharine's Street
Northampton
NN1 2LH

Quote:
Dear Sir/Madam

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)
Claim No: ********
Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.
Yours sincerely,
Wait until you receive the Notice of Acknowledgement from the court and then send a copy to the bank’s solicitors, since they are the ones who will now be dealing with your claim

Thumbs up Re: N1 form

Michael

You have been extreamly helpful.
You have made it very clear as to what needs to be done. I will now go ahead with the MCOL form.

Thanks

Do you know the company they are going to use? I would just send the spreadsheets into MCOL and address them to the court manager, they will get forwarded onto the right people that way.

No I don't know the company but I sent a copy to the court. One of the instructions I received from another user was to wait until I received the Notice of Acknowledgement from the court and then send a copy of the charges to the bank. Should I have sent two copies to the court?

You haven't been asked to do it yet so there isn't a need. I wouldn't panic about it. I didn't send anything in when i used MCOL all three times. They will ask for something if its needed. I would wait till they acknowledge so then you will know who it is you are dealing with.
