Thread: zeus v lloyds - won (for all those sick of lloyds dragging their feet)

Won today, settlement letter from SCM.

After sending my aq to the courts i got a letter from SCM requesting a copy. Me being poorly organised had not made a copy so sent them a letter as follows... (excuse the poor english) This resulted in receiving a full settlement before any further dabbling with court related processes. One must also note that a got this letter within the 14 days that i asked of them. This maybe a way of getting around Lloyds dragging their feet too much and anyone feel free to use this obviously scrubbing it up with finer english.

Dear Sir/Madam

In the Nottingham Court
Me –v- Lloyds TSB Bank plc
Claim Number: *******

Thank you for the copy of the defendants Allocation Questionnaire which was received Saturday 23rd December 2006. Firstly I would like to apologise that the claimants (myself) Allocation Questionnaire was sent to the aforementioned court last week without a copy being made. I would like to ensure you that the claimant Allocation Questionnaire does not conflict with your own and that each section was answered identically with the exception of Section D where it stated that no other witnesses would be called.

If this is an issue with yourselves then I as the claimant will be happy to request Nottingham Court for a copy of my completed Allocation Questionnaire which will be sent on to you. Of course as it is not a legal necessity for you to receive a copy of my Allocation Questionnaire then any costs incurred by myself will be included in my final claim. Additionally, as the Allocation Questionnaire has already been send to Nottingham Court, a request will not result in a delay of the final hearing.

As this will be my final correspondence with yourselves, I would like this opportunity to offer you a chance to settle the claim before the hearing. This has already been a lengthy and drawn out process and I my preference would be for this to end sooner rather than later and before a hearing, this I am sure you also feel. If you agree with this then feel free to either contact me via written correspondence or contact me directly on: *********.

I will assume however that if I do not receive any further contact from you with the offer of a settlement within the next 14 days then your opinion differs. I am perfectly willing to carry this through to court, and if I receive no further contact from you then I will look forward to meeting you on the Hearing date.

Yours Sincerely,


Me

twas 450 + 50 for court fees. such a load of my mind. Good luck with your claim, hope my letter may come in handy Didn't have to worry about sorting a court bundle.

Thanks for that. I wonder if because your claim was less than the current trend of them giving claimants £750 that they settled earlier than usual?

Not that it matters in your case - well done again

I was interested to read about your success. I have sent my first letter to Lloyds TSB and have had a reply asking if I would like my bank to forward my complaint to the Ombudsman. Did you do this? Is this the norm? Or are Lloyds just dragging their feet?

Thanks for the info Barty. My last letter to the bank was on the 6th so I suppose I should think about taking my next step now.

Dave...

What stage are you at? If you have entered your claim and are at the stage of sending back your aq then try my letter and somthing similar. that is what i did and heard from them within the 14 days i requested with a settlement.

I did all the right things with Lloyds TSB. Sent letters etc, then the final one threatening court action. I gave them 2 weeks to respond. They didnt, so after about 3 weeks, I went to the court and began proceeding. Before the summons had been issued they paid £725 into my bank account without any consultation. I wrote to them again and informed them that this was not satisfactory and if they paid the other £176 I would cancel the proceedings. They didn't, so the summons was served on them on 3rd of March. I am just waiting now to see what happens next. Thanks for all the help I got from this site.

Hi I have sent my lba to my high street Lloyds branch, should i have sent it to there trading address? who shall i send my claim to for future reference?

Please help, i'm at the stage where I'd sent in the allocation questionnaire & I've got back at reply from Lloyds TSB solicitors saying they'll put what i'd claimed for into my account. Do i agree to this or wait for the court date? and do i get my court fees back? £220. missmarcy

You are in a more advanced stage than me, but i would still hold out for the court date until the money is in your bank, they could always change there mind and apply delay tactics, for your court fees you should have included that in your claim, so if they are only giving you your charges back you could go to court to claim your court fees, please be aware iam new to this too, i would check with someone with more experience like BARTY, Good luck
