Thank you!

Can you start your own thread please? thanks

eXCELLENT letter Gary! Really well written, insteresting to see if you get any kind of response to it! I have a claim against lloyds for £35.00 that has reached allocation stage, can you believe it!! The sheer arrogance of these people and the pure intent to waste court time and resources must be stopped! Keep us informed

It doesnt matter if you changed your name or not. as long as all documentation is in the same name....it will only complicate matters if you start using your married name....of course if you wish payment to be made into an account or by cheque which carries your maiden name, you will need to let them know, but a simple copy of your cert will sort that out. Best of luck and congrats!

Steven can you pm bankfodder with this information please? I do believe you have a duty to return it and cannot withhold it for any reason. You need to seal them and put his name and address on them and bring them into your local branch telling them what has happened. Thanks!

Thanks Karn! I may well take you up on your offer to scan over my reply when I get to it!

Off his own dear back Gary! Fantastic arent they? I am very pleased! I have already been having a nosey at your thread and borrowed stuff lol...i was going to ask...honest! Thanks!

Update: Notice of Allocation to Small Claims Track (hearing) received this morning. The district judge, has considered the statements of case and allocation questionaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.The judge has approved the case to be listed in a "back to back" small claims list.This is where large numbers of cases are block listed at 10am before a number of judges. The reason this has been done is to give you the earliest hearing available.

Melly? Any news?

Melly? Any

£200 in full and final? What else are you looking for? I think that is a fair settlement tbh and I would guess any judge would agree.

Excellent! Keep us informed!

Is this the same account that is in dispute re bank charges? I would first try and call them, backing up whatever you say on the phone in a letter, and try to reason with them regarding the reason you couldnt pay your £60 this month. Try that first.
