Thread: robertsdj vs NatWest - we won!

Well now I've taken the time to read through the latest updates I've answered my own question! Looks like I've got a wait and a defence to look forward to. Kepp you posted.

Well just sitting here waiting for my 28 days to expire, which just happens to be the last day of my holiday! Noticed that Natwest seem to be settling some claims quickly but not others, any thoughts on why that is? I don't think my claim is particularly high in relation to some others on here, so it can't be the value.

I'm getting a bit paranoid as the only poster on my own thread!! Anyway, is anyone else out there at about the same stage of things as me, waiting for 28 days to end?

Lol well im replying to you as no one else has yet. I haven't got as far as you as im at the start of my claim but just waiting for the copy statements to arrive.

Im crossing my fingers as im unsure if they will set a court date to set down laws on charges soon so im hoping i get it out the way before then cos we have had our charges refunded alot now.

Yes im noticing they are refunding more claims than others, not too sure why this is, i expect they are looking into the history of the account.

I hope it all goes well. Do keep us all posted.

most peoples threads seem all over the place so trying to track down someone at the same stage as you is v hard!!

however, it does seem normal practice for them to wait until the very last days before they do anything. however, like you said, it does seem that some people get paid off quicker than others so it would be good to get views on why this is...

Oh I feel alive now!

Anyway, the defence is normal, you should now receive an allocation questionnaire. Have a look at Timinio and Scissorhearts posts, they've just been through this. rbrears post on the general forum gives good advice on how to respond next.

Good luck!

Received the Natwest defence CPR part 18 request as expected this morning (28 days up at midnight last night). I intend to right a polite letter re Part 18 not being applicable as listing will be heard on Small Claims Track - do I need to do anything firther at this stage, or just wait for the Court to give a date?

I got my defence and cpr pt 18 yesterday, one day over the 28 days, I replied with the appropriate letter. I expect the aq form will come soon, I think that`s the next stage.

It's good to know that there is someone on the same timescale as me - fingers crossed for us both!!

I recieved the aq today as well and am in the process of writing my amended particulars of claim and part 18 request for Natwest as rbrears did. I remembered that he had responded to the part 18 in order to serve one of his own on NatWest.

Just pm'd you with half a further response. No reason why you shouldn't wait until you get back from hols.

Offer of £800 received yesterday! Can I have some advice in what to put in my "accepting the offer, but continuing with the claim" please?

Hi
I did a quick search in the Natwest thread for you and came up with this e.g.
http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...fer#post190076
It has an example of what such a letter could look like, and maybe you could change it a bit for your purpose...?
Anyway, good luck - I'm still waiting for my statements, so quite far behind you!

Thank you and good luck to you too!

Well "no thanks" letter sent and aq filed yesterday, so it's back to the waiting game again.

That's right, people will take whatever the banks offer - but still carry with their claim on until they pay them the full amount thay owe.
