Thread: Help Needed with Claim Form

I'm ready to fill in my claim forms as per the scottish procedure post on this site but i've hit a small glitch.

I'm claiming against Woolwich who used to have a branch in Aberdeen but they have now changed it to a Barclays. Therefore there isn't a Woolwich branch/branch manager in my town to use as the defender.

I have however recieved correspondance about my claims from Barclays as it appears they have taken it over from Woolwich. Would i be in my rights to say that as Barclays are dealing with it for the Woolwich that i can use the local Barclays branch/branch manager as my defender.

Also i never sent any correspondance through the branch therefore the manager knows nothing of my claim, am i still ok to use him as the defender?

Hi,

No you cannot use the bank manager as your defender, it's not him your claiming against it's the bank he works for. Thats what the Sheriffs Clerk told me when I took my claim into court.I have a claim against Capital One who's address is in England, I live in Scotland and the clerk at Edinburgh Sheriff Court put on the form...This claim comes under the jurisdiction of Edinburgh Sheriff because the persuer will be paid in Edinburgh ?
I think you would be ok to use your local Barclays as the defender but I'm no expert.

Hope this helps some.
Best wishes with your claim.

Scott.

Thanks to both of you,

I've just handed my claim in today. It turns out that the woolwich website says that the old branch is still active as a woolwich branch, it is listed as a contactable branch, so i just used it.

you can also claim in Aberdeen since you are based here. You just need to say that on the claim form. There's an example somewhere, don't know where, sorry. Good luck with it.
