Hi Klare. It's the usual crap that all of us get. Don't back down because that's what they're hoping you'll do. Follow the process outlined on this site and everything should work out fine
If you read everyone elses stories re A&L you will notice a recurring pattern when it comes to letters, threats , timings etc
Stick to your guns and good luck
ok i have started to doubt my claim i know i shouldnt because its the same situation as you all, i have had a letter from them telling me we owe you nothing i beg to differ and i have worked out what teyu owe me plus a further charge for unauthorised OD, now i have giventhem plenty of time to cough up, and i should have claimed my MCO last week, so tomorrow i will be claiming online, i know they (or im sure) will contest it but i just feel so kicked about i need a boost

Don't doubt yourself. You've won once, you'll do it again.
Can't help you with the address, I've never dealt with A&L myself, but I'm sure someone will know.
Have you done any of the things I advised you in your other thread about your finances? Are you getting to your money first now?
You WILL get your money back, you WILL win, you ARE in the right here. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise or try to keep you down. OK?
Listen, I look back on those last few months and I find it hard to believe I have taken on so many institutions and won EVERY - SINGLE - TIME. And I'm not finished yet. And you can, and will, do exactly the same.

Hi Klare, Chin up!
Get your mcol done then sit back and wait. It's just a matter of sit back and let your threat do the talking. In all probability you will get a letter from Jackie McGuirk saying they are going to defend...they don't though! I've just had my claim settled not long after receiving notice that they were going to defend.
When doing the MCOL the address you need is:-
Alliance and Leicester Plc
Narborough
Leicester
LE19 0AL
Have you got your parachute account up & running with all DD's etc changed over? If not do it asap

Sorry Klare but no experience with anyone else so far....think I'm one of the lucky one's who've had no problems with anyone else (That's probably just jinxed me)
Just follow the same process you're doing with A&L on any other company you want to claim back off
Not promising anything but you should have a cheque from A&L just in time to make crimbo more fun (who needs santa when the postie can deliver lovely cheques!)
hi everyone im having a mental block in the section that states what are you claiming notes below it it asks does it affect the human rights act 1998 do i put yes or no

Re: MCOL filed, they are defending but surely it has passed the deadline HELP!!!
Have they actually filed a defence, which you should have a copy of or have they just stated they intend to defend?
Unfortunately for us if they miss the deadline and we do not file a judgement by default they can be as late as they want. Until we take the next step they can still reply and it will be accepted by the court.
Re: MCOL filed, they are defending but surely it has passed the deadline HELP!!!
Hi, thanks for replying i received 2 letters one acknowledgment that the claim has been made(from MCOL) the other was a copy of my claim with the details filled in at the bottom intend to defend, so what happens now i have never needed to go any further, do i need to do something else or wait for a date for the hearing or are they still likley to settle up in the immediate futire
many thanks

Re: MCOL filed, they are defending but surely it has passed the deadline HELP!!!
4 threads merged.
The acknowledgement of service bought them time to file their defence, (4 weeks from when you filed) so by right you should have received it by now.
Give the court a ring on Monday, and find out, in case something got lost in the post. If A&L forgot to file a defence, though, apply for default judgment!
