Case transfered to Central London County Court

[Joa]

I have received a letter today which stated that an order has been made to transfer my case to the Central London CC. The irony is that I have just managed to have the case transfered to more local court; the judge agreed due to my childcare responsibilities and disability.
The letter does not contain any grounds or reasons for this order, although we know that it may have something to do with courts being swamped and looking for some solution.
I would like to request that the order is set aside but it may prolong the whole process. I am keen though because I do not like to be shuffled around like that without sense or reason.
On the other hand, there is a high probability that there will be no hearing and that Egg folds, like other banks did.
But it would cause me enormous hassle if the hearing would go ahead in Central London; fair whack to travel and take time off work.
Any comments?

no harm in trying to get it set aside; it may prolong the process but then Egg are taking their time with everybody so you're not going to get any money any time soon.

contact both courts to get a copy of eggs allocation questionnaire. You want to find out if the transfer has been made as a result of an application from them.

Once you have done that post a response here and link me to it. did egg make a counterclaim?

No counterclaim; no default, no arrears. The letter simply says: As a result of an order made on 12th of October...
I will request a copy of Egg's AQ.

My case has also been transferred to Central London CC with Judge Collins from Barnet. Mine is for a lift of stay due to hardship groungs.

Do you have a date for your hearing! as I have just caught up with Spurs 9 who has also had a transfer from Edmonton to Central London CC with the same Judge, he like me has not yet received a firm court date.

	Hardship By and large the "harship" provision in the FSA waiver is a myth which is intended to create a sense that the banking industry is sufficiently well-intentioned to act fairly towards its customers even though their right of access to the courts has been blocked. In fact there are very few guidelines as to procedure and very little definition of "hardship". One unfortunate spin off is that many people in difficulty get their hopes up and go to considerable lengths to plead hardship to their bank in order to get a refund or partial refund of their bank charges only to be refused. Neither the courts nor the FOS have the power to order a bank to make a charges refund on the basis of hardship. We hear of some people obtaining a partial refund quite easily. Others have obtained money by being very persistent - but mostly we hear that people are refused. Even benefits claimants do not automatically receive hardship refunds. By all means try to get a bank charges refund on the basis of hardship - but don't bank on it!
