Thread: Can anyone advise on action after defence has been struck out?

Hi
This is the first time i've used this website and not finding it easy to find my way around. I've been through the process of reclaimin my bank charges and just over 2 weeks ago the court wrote me a letter considering striking the defence out on the basis that they had no intention on defending it and abusing the court process. The court gave the solicitors 2 weeks to object to the strike out. Most people i who have been on the same time scale as me had an offer before the 2 weeks was up but i have heard nothing. Does anyone know what i do next?

Thanks
Chez

Which court and bank is this for?

It's Lincoln court and HSBC

Ok the court will write to you telling you of HSBC's response to this so expect a reply soon.
Expect settlement to follow.
When is your court date?

I have not been given a court date. All that has been put in the letter from the court is that "If the defandant objects to the proposed strike out it is ordered to file, within 14 days of the date of service of this order". The 14 days have now passed and i haven't heard anything yet. So should i expect a letter from the court now? What should i expect to hear do you think? Many thanks for your help!

Yes you should expect a letter anytime but you can call the court.

Thanks, i will do

Ok let me know how you got on.

The two weeks will have begun from the date that order was served on DG. But once you get to that date, it will still take a little while for the courts to get back to you (whether DG have responded or not). So your best options are probably to sit tight and give the court a chance to write to you (this is the English legal system - it is not famed for its speed). Then if you haven't heard anything in a couple of weeks, it might be time to call the court and see what is happening with your case.

Out of interest, which court are you in? And did you request the strikeout order?
