Mine was also from Bow, and from Judge Gregory, contact dan pope and ask to be included, the papers should be with the Mercantile either late this week or early next week

thanks Lynz, File Wizzard.

i just phoned dan pope but he was out of the office today. i spoke with someone called alex who said he had just received my papers and was in the middle of drafting a letter to me, which i should receive on monday.

he also said that the judge would be looking at my application to stop my claim being transferred. this confused me somewhat as i hadn't made any such application. unfortunately i got a little bit tongue-tied and didn't press him on this. will wait and see what the letter says i guess.

by the way, not too far from you Lynz, i'm in hackney.

cheers

hello all

just received my letter from royal courts of justice group confirming that my case has been transferred to the london mercantile court.

they've got me down for a case management conference (with 13 others) on the 18th oct but it's at 10.30am and not 10am.

also, regarding costs, the last paragraph of my letter says:

Although some of these claims have been allocated to the Multi Track, is is the provisional view of the Judge that the costs rules for the Small Claims Track should apply to all of them.

i guess this means we will not be able to claim back costs at £9.25 per hour?

cheers

Hi
We have been trasferred to Mercantile from Bow by Judge Vokes. We haven't received anything else. We are going to do as BankFodder suggested and write those the OFT, the FSA and out MP. Should we be doing something else? This is against Barclays. Thanks.

If the claim has been settled in full then you should notify the court and they will withdraw your folio from next weeks CMC.

You could refuse to settle and still attend, but I would not recommend this.

So in short well done!!

I have phoned the bank and they cant tell me where the payment has come from. Ill call again in the morning to see if I can get any further info from them - surely they should know if they hve paid me or not

UNtil then consider me in, when I get any further idea, and if they vcan confirm that they have paid me, then Ill let dan pope know.

I take it at that, Im oout of the CMC am I?

Sorry to have to report that as of this evening Barclays have put me in a position where it would be deemed unreasonable for me not to settle before tomorrows CMC.

Obviously I cannot divulge full details, but needless to say that unfortunately I will not be attending tomorrow, and I have been suitably compensated for my inconvenience.

As a follow up both I, and I believe Bankfodder would still be very interested to hear from anyone who’s case is referred to the Mercantile Court, and who in the wider picture has little or no assets and would not be adversely effected if the outside chance of a costs order after a request for declaration became a reality.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) depends on which way you look at it! my present financial circumstance make it unacceptably risky for me to pursue this case in the way I would of wanted too.

A Rather bitter sweet victory by all accounts….

I suggest very strongly that if your case is listed for the conference that you attent.
Also please please try to get the case number and name etc details of anyone else.

There must be at least 10 people who don't seem to be involved in this group whose cases have been transferred.
I would like to be able to contact all of them - so if you culd get neames and addresses or phone numbers or email, it would be very useful for everyone.

Full report from anyone who goes, please.

thanks

Oh what a b****dy shame Chris - I thought you might a least get your day in Court - do I gather you've been offered confidentiality. :o . Glad that I didn't .

Goodluck Bankfodder on your quest, I sincerely hope someone slips throught the net - I'm desperately trying to persuade by lil ol' brother who has been stung rather badly by Barclays that I can get his money back. But little brothers don't tend to listen to big sisters now - do they?

Hi Sara, hope your well, original claim was offered with confidentiality, but it was declined, secondary offer was made and because of terms yes unfortunately that part was confidential.

All I would say though is I spoke to KJ's boss, and Barclays seem to be fairly confident that they have suitably swept all their cases under the rug in time for tomorrow, (they were having a bit of a panic with me at 15:55, 5 mins before the court closed this afternoon!), I believe there are still some NatWest ones going ahead tomorrow though as others have been added to the list since last week
