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.
Got letter from London Mercantile Court, have a folio number and been advised that:-
"There will be a Small Claims Hearing in this case and in several others which raise the same or similar issues at 10:00am on 24th Jamuary 2007. The hearing is intended to give directions for the hearing of some or all these casesin a way which saves time and expense. It is hope that all parties will attend but if this is not practicable the Court will be pleased to consider the written views of any party provided that these reach the Court by no later than 22nd January 2007.
Although some of these cases have been allocated to the Multi Track, it is the provisional view of the Judge that the costs rules for the Small Claims Track should apply to all of them."
I am wading through Merc bits on General Forum, and am wondering if anyone else's cases are on the 24th.
"Although some of these cases have been allocated to the Multi Track, it is the provisional view of the Judge that the costs rules for the Small Claims Track should apply to all of them"
That's interesting....

Any news from Abbey? I just received notification that my case V Barclays has just been transferred to the Mercantile so interested to see how the banks play it...
Seems like more and more are being transferred at lower and lower value.
I emailed Abbey after getting the letter informing me of the transfer to try and reach a settlement, and today I received a letter offering me the full amount as Full and final, so I am one who won't be going to court on the 24th Hopefully there will be more of us before then
I received a General Form of Judgement or Order letter from my local county court dated 12th January 2007 saying the claim is transferred to the London Mercantile Court.
Do I just sit here and wait for Mercantile to contact me or do i need to call them ?
Hi to you, the Merc Court will write you a letter shortly giving you a date for a directions hearing.
They seem to be having directions hearings in Bulk as there were a number of us due in the hearing tomorrow, from what i can gather they are being settled just before.
You can phone them but will still have to wait for the letter. You don't have long to wait now
Any advise offered is my own opinion, and if in doubt, always seek clarification.

I too am waiting for a Case number and date etc from the London Mercantile. My transfer was ordered on 28th Dec 06. When i get the details i'll write again to Barclays to see if they want to continue their charade.
Has anything happened with regard to the London Hearings on 23/24 Jan ???
Am not sure i am following these threads properly
I am interested to find out what is happening with the Abbey Cases and as this was going to be a test case i am very curious as to what the decisions were as all cases were to be treated the same as those on the fast track!
Has there been any outcome from this ? What is a directions hearing ? What happened to all the cases that were to be decided on the 23/24th?
Can anybody help me as i seem to be a little confused and i am not the most pc literate and so think i must be following the threads incorrectly.
Congratulations....I'm waiting for the Mercantile to allocate their case number vs Barclays etc, so it is reassuring to know that settlement is a just a matter of time. Did you have to go to the CMC in the end or did they settle first?
