Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have just been on the phone to my local court to check on my progress with Barclaycard. The claim was served on the 5TH October 07 and they had until the 19th October 07 to reply. They have not replies as of yet; I was told I can issue a judgement against them, should I wait a few more days or should I just issue it now, and what is the best type of judgement to issue? My claim is for £2005
Sorry I missed a bit, the only type of judgment available to you is that you win by default as they havnt answered in the timescales. Also you want payment immediately.
Hope this helps

Hi Alison, I was advised (Camdenite Vs Providian/Monument) to hold fire on requesting judgement until the 28 days have passed after they we're due to submit their acknowledgement of service. The reason being that b/card fight dirty and will get away with filing a late defence if you try and request judgement at this stage.
It's painful how the courts will let them get away with it, but you may be best waiting another month (sorry ) until the time has elapsed and they can't file a defence in time.
I'm in exactly the same scenario and have had to be patient with them.

Hi Camdenite.
I hope you dont mind me sticking my oar in, but i think you need to be very patient with Bcard.
Of all the people i am claiming from, I think 9 at the last count, Bcard are playing the hardest nut to crack.
Allthough, technically you have won your case, i woudnt rush into requesting judgement just yet.
Of course you can go ahead with your request, and i wish you well if you do, but i would wait a week or so and then check on Bcs response with the court.
As Slick says, if you go for judgement now, allthough its late, i guarantee they will rush a defence through, and it will be accepted.
A real Pee off i know, but thats whats happening im afraid.
If you wait just a while longer, the court wont look to favourably on them if its that late.
I have been dealing with Bc since April i think, and they are still being a pain, allways coming up with something right at the last minute.
An example if you dont mind.
I have 4 sets of the same statements ( all incomplete ) All just within the 40 days. ish
I have a 600+ plus page full Data Protection Act Disclosure ( waste of paper )and still they wont give me the information i want.
THEY PLAY GAMES WITH THE SYSTEM.
At our expense
Obviously only you can decide, but can you wait another week or so.
No gaurantees, but i dont think you will regret it.
Camden has taken quotes from his own thread (posted by TonyC) which may serve as a warning. If you file for judgement too quick, Bank has better chance of slipping in late defence which as Court (ridiculously) accept.

Thanks Slick. It was actually myProvidian/Monument claim that this relates to. My b/card one is some months behind . I should learn how to post a link again, shouldn't I?
lol Sometimes the easiest things are the most effective
Like men.

I'll just have to wait and see what happens, eventually they will pay up sooner or later.
Thanks anyway
Lets hope sooner, rather than later.
Good luck.
