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.
hi to you all,
i am suprised at the way citi are dealing with these cases.
have added all my charges, plus interest and sent them requests for repayment.
have not heard or recieved any replies at all.
sent them final lba xmas and now going to issue court papers against them.
Oxford county court is listing all credit card cases as i have filed and won against crap1
reading the threads citi fight more than the others then?
hi,
nothing at all from citi, have checked to make sure they have signed for the letters.
3 lba letters sent and not even a reply. going to issue court papers soon , just wondering if to do stat 8% or ci rate ,
has anybody had any success with ci???
Citi play dirty and use every trick in the book, my personal opinion would be to go with 8% stat. Plus you can't go for contractual unless you've claimed it from the beginning.
thanks enron, just recieved the letter from the court to say it is being served, so will keep you posted.
yes i did n1 route and oxford court is not staying these cases at the moment.
From the point of view to Citi claims, you should be able to effectively argue against a stay.
The current court case relatves purely to current bank account overdraft charges, and not credit card charges. On the issue of CC charges there is already an OFT report in place, which the defendant has obided by in lowering its charge to £12 per default.
The issue here is whether the charge of £12 which is at the maximum level outlined by the OFT is an accurate reflection of the defendants costs. And the fact that the conflicting cost pre-estimates submitted to courts by the defendant need further exploration by means of a full Breakdown of the figures used as a basis to calculate the pre-estimates. (for which the draft orders serve this quite well).
sorry gizmo and enron have overlooked this lately while waiting for a response to court papers.
they have until friday the 25th jan to acknowledge the claim.
the address i sent the requests to was citi cards, po box 54, Salford, Manchester. M5 3BP
hi rang court today and citi have not responded at all, the clerk said i could give it a few days if i wanted to.
deadlines are strict for us so should i wait?
I was awarded judgement by default but then the court pointed out that because I'd given them the PO Box address it may not be enforceable. Has this happened to you?
I'm also trying to fight off them setting aside the case.
We've all used the PO Box no.
They can't set aside the case, just judgement, and they will then produce their defence. The chances of the setaside being refused are very slim.
have just recieved a letter and payment from citi.
the payment is only a small part of the claim and they say they are not paying interest eeven though court papers have been issued and the amount they have paid is the balance between £25.00 chages and the £12.00 they are now allowed.
i am sending the cheque back and informing them that the whole amount is due plus interest and costs.
I had a case against pixmani where they owed me for the item I returned under their guarantee + court costs + interest and other costs.
they initially (in the final days) sent me just the cost of the item, and said that's all they would send and its the F&F offer and would I instruct the courts to stop the action, I wrote back saying to send the remainder that I am claiming for otherwise I would continue with the action, of course within a couple days I had received complete and full payment ..
They wouldn't pay anything unless they know they have to .. so go for it ..., they wont risk a CCJ for a few quid, they are just trying to score some points back I think.
thanks kev , i hope so because the case has started they will have to refund costs etc, i wonder what they will think when the cheque gets returned.
congrats on getting your claim sorted.
citi- not responding at all **WON**
and sent them requests for repayment.
