Thread: preliminary consideration hearing

Hi out there can anyone put me right, received Abbey defence a few weeks ago ,got the official copies from the court but no aq. Now received a Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track and it says the judge has ordered that a preliminary consideration hearing should take place estimated time 15mins. What does this mean and do I take a court bundle to the hearing my claim is only for a very small amount? thanks for your help

hi Lula sorry not got back to you sooner been in bed work nights. the letter just says
the District Judge has considered the statements of case and AQ filed (we didnt file one) and allocated the claim to small claims track.
Before the claim is listed for hearing, the judge has ordered that a preliminary consideration hearing should take place.
The preliminary hearing will take place at 14.00 on the 18th June 2007 at county court. Time estimate 15mins.

Thats it, all it says? any clues??????

ok thanks for that Lula I will have a look around the site and see what I can collate

can anyone tell me how I add further bank charges onto my claim. It is at the stage of the preliminary consideration hearing or do I have to start a new claim. Just received this months statement and they are charging me £80
thankyou

You can't add charges after you've filed claim unless you fill in N244 and pay £35 which you can't claim back.

Best bet is wait until Abbey approach you to settle and tell them you want that £80 back as well. They inevietably cough up.

ok thanks alot for your advice.
