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.
For clarity sake I've copied this thread and given it a more appropriate title.
Have just received my Notice of Transfer of Proceedings and the allocation questionaire from the court regarding my case.
I have until the 20th August 2006 to complete the questionaire.
Would appreciate any advice on the following issues I have.
1) Is it quite common to pay an additional court fee (having already paid c.120GBP on MoneyClaim)?
2) Secondly should I wait for DLA solicitors to offer me a settlement? To date none has been forthcoming.
3) On the allocation questionnaire The first section asks do I wish to postpone any further action so that you and the other party can settle the claim? Should I do this? What are the pros and cons?
Thanks to all in the past for helping me and I hope someone can shed light on these outstanding issues that I have.
if you look in the library there is a section about filling in Allocation Questionaires. However in my experience;
1. If the amount you are claiming for is for £1500.00 or above you will have to enclose a cheque for £100.00 with the completed allocation questionaire.
2. I would wait until the last possible moment to send the Allocation Questionaire (allowing enough time to reach the court before the cut off point) just to see if they offer you a settlement.
3. Do not tick yes to section A. You have given them more than enough notice regarding this with the prelim and lba letters etc.
If you do end up paying the £100 for the Allocation Questionaire don't forget you can add it to the amount you are claiming for.

Well, roll on another month and finally I have been given a court hearing.
"Take Notice that the small claims hearing will take place on 14 November 2006 at 10:15 AM...
When you attend 2 hours has been allowed for the small claims hearing."
Don't know about you but 2 hours seems excessively long for my case?
Have to deliver documents supporting my case by 4pm Friday, 13th October.
Is there a thread detailing the actual court appearence? I vaguely remember seeing a thread detailing what docs to bring, how to address the judge etc.
Well fingers crossed hope everything goes to plan.
Its basically a court bundle.......this is more or less everything that hasc already been (or should have been ) supplied.
Its generally suggested that cases should take no more than 1 hour.
If you need any help feel free to ask.
Its unlikely that you will be using everything (if anything at all) as the defendants are unlikely to attend ....or certainly defend !!
But you do of course need to have everything prepared.

they've got rid of DLA piper because too expensive, they aren't going to court - they are just filing standard printouts so doesn't need expensive solicitors to do that - they just some people in house to do it. They are settling all claims so it's really to minimise the amount they have to fork out.
