I have been trying to claim from Royal Bank of Scotland for a while now. I have now made a claim through money claim. I orignally received a part refund from RBS for a little over £400. But they still owe me just over £1400. The problem i have at the moment is that i received a letter from the court saying that the summons should reach the bank on the 12/06/06 meaning that the bank have 28 days from then meaning that i should receive something by the 10/07/06? I have logged onto the money claim site today and there is a box that says claim and in that it says acknowledged 21/06/06. So is this where i start the 28 days. Need support please as i dont want to get it wrong and shoot myself in the foot. I still have not received anything from the bank. Is it advisable to call the bank and see what is happening and inform them that i am not willing to accept anything less than the full amount owed. HELP PLEASE
Thank you
The 28 days start from when the claim is deemed to have been served to the bank, so from your post it sounds like this is the 12/06/06.
You should have had a letter from the court which said something like "posted by first class post on xx/xx/xx, deemed to have been served on xx/xx/xx.
Hope this helps,

Today i have received a "notice that acknowledement of service has bee filed" letter. It is from Cobbetts LLP?!?!?!?! What do i do? It says that they intend to defend all of this claim. Shall i call or just leave it for now, help muc appreciated.
leave it for now only respond to any requests from the court. you're on exactly the same timescale as me. RBS have 28 days from the date deemed received to file a defence with the court! when they do that you'll prob get an allocation questionaire but thats a few weeks off yet!

Help I Need Somebody, Help, Not Just Anybody, Heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllp!
Sorrry for the long title.
Looking at my previous posts i am a little worried about the timescale of my claim. Biting my nails as we speak. Have not heard anything else from the bank or solicitors. It hasnt really been that long since last letter but feels like an eternity.
Any advise/support/small donations!(kidding!) welcome
I doubt you'll hear anything till day 28 when they enter a defence. You'll then receive a request for more information, most of which have been dealt with on previous threads so usually pretty standard.
Don't worry there are plenty of us in the same boat but reading around the forum gives you more confidence!!!

thank you staceymason, i hope your claim is going well, keep me updated. I still have not heard anything back from either bank or solicitors. Fingers crossed will be getting refund. The date for them to reply is coming soon.
Should i leave it a few days after the expected date of 10/07/06 or should i take action straight away??
If they don't defend by day 28 you will be able to enter for a judgement by default on moneyclaim, you should do this as soon as it will let you only if they don't defend though.

No post from solictors today. At 12.01 will be pushing for judgment from money claim, hope im doing this the correct way, wish me good luck everyone. Will keep you updated. Neill
is that the right date. The bank have acknowledged it on the 21/07/06 and said they will put in a defence. But is that a defence or just acknowledging that they will put in a cliam????????????? HELP!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? !??!?!?!?!?
Its 28 days from the date the bank were deemed to have received it, you should have had this in a letter from the court. I think in your case its the 12th! Which means today is the day! Check on moneyclaim has a defence been lodged?
Also ring the court at 4.15ish this aft and confirm a defence still hasnt been lodged! Good luck!!

Good morning everyone, i tried to claim at just after midnight this morning but the system wouldnt let me. I woke up bright and early this morning and the weather is amazing. I logged onto money claim and have applied for judgment on their ass (by default). Lets see how long it takes for them to cough up,any ideas anyone? I appreciate all the help everyone has given me, both here and at moneysavingexpert.com. I will let both sites know when they pay.
Fingers crossed.
And staceymason please let me know how yours is going.
This is so exciting!! I've got till next Tuesday for RBS to defend, I hope they don't bother!!! Let me know when you receive the cheque!
You might want to change the title of the thread now! give other people a bit of encouragement!!!

I don't think they can file a defence tomorrow, they had until the 10th, has it been passed to the judge to grant the judgement?

It means its with the judge, he should look at it today and grant it, RBS will then be sent a letter, if you look around there were two other people a bit further on after having judgement granted and I think RBS have applied for a set aside.
Hopefully they'll just pay up!
