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.
this is my first logging on with this ID brother-in-law (davesuecpl) has been my guide to what to do etc. over the past 6 years the woolwich has charged me £857.52 so fingures crossed will be getting it back soon along with some interest maybe
i've done the DPA, 1st letter, and lba bit and so far they have only offered 50% so now we've done the moneyclaim bit. just sit back and wait for the next move.
I have a thread on here as you may have read? I am claiming for £402.00 of bank penalty charges. I have been offered 50% back as well but have sent a letter today declining their offer as i want 100%.
I have my fingers crossed for you and i. I will keep you posted how i get on.
Good luck though it's not you that needs it its the bank! lol
Moneyclaim issued my claim on the 19/04 and Woolwich had untill the 08/05 to reply, and guess what to my suprize they never did. so on the 9th i applied for judgement and the court issued it that day . wonder how long they will take to repay me. would be really nice to apply for a warrant to get the bayliffs in.
what would a reasonable time to give the Woolwich to refund my charges judgement was issued on the 9th May, would love to know how long others have had to wait
Well it's been 9 days since judgement was issued and still no sign of any refund which was request for Immediate payment. so i think it's time to apply for a warrant for the Bayliffs to go in
Go get em!!! this is exciting stuff! I'm at the first stage but its posts like yours that give us courage to go further. Will wait in anticipation to hear the out come. GOOD FOR YOU!!
had in the post this morning a letter from Money Claim saying my Judgement has been returned i have scand the letter along with the form they sent to me and put them on my website http://www.piggin-house.co.uk/judgement.htm
Please could a mod or anybody tell me what they want me to do with this form cos i'm lost:-|
It looks like the address is or the "Woolwich PLC" part of it is incorrect - Does it maybe need to be "Barclays t/a Woolwich" or suchlike? I don't know if anyone on here has actually issued judgement against the Woolwich yet, I'll have a quick look and come back..
i will have to ring money claim on monday to see if they can piont me in the right direction. it seems odd as this has been the same name and address i have used all the time, but when it come to paying up time there is a quiry
What a shame and at the last hurdle to. Keep us posted on this as am waiting for my statements from the woolwich to come through. And would like to see how you reslove this.
Although this might be the reason they did not pay up, if they knew all along that the address was wrong
You have put Woolwich Building Society and Woolwich PLC neither of which exist anymore. The correct format I believe is The Woolwich (Branch name here), Barclays Bank PLC, Branch address.
Please can you help, bearing in mind judgement was issed on the 9th May Warrent was issued on the 18th and my local court has informed me the bayliff will be going in to by branch within the week.
got the following letter from Barclys this morning, what should i do cos something don't seem right on the order Barclys want me to sign
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am writing to you in connection with the default Judgment which came to the attention of the bank's Litigation team yesterday.
I believe that you had issued a claim via the Court Online service and in the absence of a Defence, secured a default Judgment on 9 May 2006 for £l,125.13p.
I have made enquiries, but have so been unable to trace the Claim Form.
Given the question over whether the Claim Form was served correctly, I would expect to make an immediate application to the court for the default Judgment to be set aside. However, I am conscious of the time involved for all concerned, i.e. for you to attend a court hearing and the cost of pursuing the matter further. I, therefore, propose to offer to settle your claim in full subject to your agreement to:
1. There being a Stay of Execution;
2. That the refund of £l,125.13p is paid direct to your Woolwich account;
3. That you consent to the default Judgment being set aside;
4. The refund of £l,125.13p is in Full and final settlement of your claim entitled 6QZ 24856; 5. The terms of this offer are confidential between yourself and the Bank.
I trust that you understand that I am putting forward this offer of settlement to avoid the time involved in making an application to the Court to have the judgment set aside. It, therefore, does not imply any acceptance of liability on the part of the Bank.
I enclose a draft Consent Order setting aside the Default Judgment. Please sign and return this to me and I will arrange for it to be filed at Court. You will see that it makes reference to us filing a Defence to your claim within 14 days. This will not be necessary as we intend to pay you in full, but nevertheless needs to be mentioned in the Order.
Please also sign the enclosed copy of this letter confirming your agreement and return it to me at the above address. Once I have received these documents from you, I will arrange for the funds to be recredited to your account no: 000000000. I have enclosed a stamp addressed envelope for your convenience.
