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.
Hi everybody,
I have just registered on your Web Site as i find it to be east to use & the more friendly (according to some of the threads you all look down to earth and completely helpful to one anothere.
I am helping my son to re-claim bank charges from "Barclays Bank" (for the sum of £4413) to give you a bit of history, we hand delivered our "Court Bundle" to the Courts on the 02/01/07, we heard nothing back so we "Requested for Judgement" on the 23/01/07, couple of days later we had contact from the "Courts" saying they had filed an "Aknowledgement of Service" on the 23/01/07 stateing they are intending to defend the claim,, so we are now in the midst of our 28 day waiting period to see what our next step is to be.
well i will sign off for now, and get back to you when things start moveing
again, i might be looking for some advice from the more learned members
of our forum who are familiar with what happens next.
Jos, as i have already started Court proceedings prior to joining site, i have tried to put my details on the "litigation" section but it keeps nocking me back is there a reason for this? or am i doing something i should'nt?
We have recieved a letter from the "Courts" returning our request for judgement, because the defendant has filed a defence, which has been forwarded to us under seperate advice.
So looking forward to see what they have to say.
keep you informed - lthomp192
Received the A/Q (N149) this morning to be completed by the 02/03/07, and returned to Southampton Court, also a copy of there defence which looks to be a standard letter from there solicitors (about three pages long). Will fill the A/Q in and get it sent off in the next few days then it's back to the waiting game!!!!!!
Hi everyone it's now the 25/02 waiting for the Court to get back to me with a date, didn't want you all to think i had given up!!!!!!. well back to the waiting game then, keep you informed.
well done lthomp192. i'll be following your thread as am about to send an SAR to Barclays tomorrow. My first step in this journey of what might be a thousand miles!
Well done to you too "Bahoney" just follow the procedure and advice of the others and as things progress you will know what the next step is before it actualy happens, great isn't it???? anyway good luck and happy hunting!!
I would like to ask the question, if i am claiming on behalf of my Son, when things atart warming up (I E:-phone starts ringing etc) can i speak on his behalf or has he got to speak to them in person?? I just want to get things sorted out in my mind prior to the event.
Recieved Court Date this morning in Post, particulars as follows:-
District "Judge Naylor" has Allocated claim to "Small Claim Track".
Hearing on 15th of May @ 1400hrs @ Southampton county court.
Will take no longer than 2 Hours.
Documents (Court Bundle) + Court written Statements singed and dated including any docs which you intend to rely on at the hearing. this to be delivered to the the Court and other party by the 2nd of April.
Well here we are then folks,going to finalise the preparations of the Court Bundle now,and hopefully get it posted on Thursday (special delivery) to both parties so as they recieve it Friday. anyone has any special advice it will be welcome,also i was thinking of writing to Barclays on the monday (after they recieve the bundle) to give them a chance to settle, as a goodwill jesture on my part also it will show them that i haven't gone away.anyone with any information or anything they think i should know please feel free to post there thoughts as i am open to any advice that will help me along. Well i will get back to you when i have sorted out the Bundle ready for Posting. regards B T.
Checked through Court Bundle and added the Statment of Evidence today, will post them off tomorrow, as (stated in previous thread) thinking of writing to them on monday with a chance to settle claim prior to court hearing, good idea or should i just wait untill nearer the time????
Phoned up Barclays this morning finally spoke to a nice gentleman called "Dino" who is dealing with my case,he took some of the particulars down (date of hearing, date of docs exchange etc) I also slipped in the conversation that we would be prepared to settle out of court as a goodwill jesture but only for the full amount claimed including court costs, interest etc (which i read out to him) he said they were also looking to settle out of court and would be in touch in the next week or so. Well starting to see light at the end of the tunnel,well back to the waiting game once more, hopefully beck to you soon.
Posted bundle off to relevant parties on 15/03 realised had typing error in the "Statement of Evidence" & "Schedule of Charges" regarding Daily Rate interest, was £6.48 instead of £64.80. Rang the Courts for advice, they told me to send a correction letter to both parties and that would be ok.
could you please confirm that this is correct way to do this as i don't want to make a mistake know being so close to the finishing line!!!
Well time is ticking on, Barclays have untill "Monday" (April 2nd) to get there docs to me,so it's a case of wait and see!!!! (but don't hold your breath).
