    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

    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.

    {{HUGS}}

    Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.

    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 accounticon up & running with all DD's etc changed over? If not do it asap

    Don't get worrying or anxious (I know it's easier said than done) it will all work out fine!

    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!)

    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.

    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 defenceicon, though, apply for default judgment!

    Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.
