hi everybody
ok then have done everything to the book, i have now received a letter from A&L solicitor acknowledgeing of service and giving notice of intention to defend, ok getting scary now but not going to give up, can any body tell me what happens next? whats my next move?also my OLC is in the northampton county court, silly question but can i get the case moved to nearer home, as i start preparing for court are there any rough guides as to preparing my case and what should i do in terms of paper work. lots of questions i know but have managed to get this far with all the great help from this site
Many Thanks
I have received a letter from solicitors today saying the same as yours, if you have a look at my thread and see what others have said about this as it is a little intimidating when solicitors letter comes (and my daughter joked about me being on gmtv as the first person who loses to the bank not v funny ) will follow whats being said to you as looks as if we are at about the same stage
hi dizzykate
thanks for your post im just kind of wondering what happens next i had this letter back and feel as though i should be doing something about it
the advise on here seems to be do nothing about it so I am going to wait and try not to think about it, they have got in my case about 20 days or so to come up with defence - i think its natural to want to respond to letter but i am worried it would make it worse and i dont know what i would say - it beats me why they do this but think its to try and put you off carrying on.

Even though I received a letter Waggle & co solicitors on behalf of A&L, I didn't receive an a&q, they only said that it was there intent to defend. Should I be getting an allocation questionnaire ?
You may or may not get an aq from the court. I gather some courts are not now sending them out (unnecessary time and admin. on their behalf). If you do have one sent, it costs another £100, but not sure if you still have to pay this if you don't receive one.
I got the letter from solicitors saying they intended to defend, letter from court confirming this, then few days later got the defence, I rang the court today and they said to complete aq which I printed off through link on here and am going to take it in tomorrow. Clerk at the court said they have to complete one too, dont know where they get theirs from assume the court sends it will see what the post brings tomorrow. they have in my case until 17 May to get it in.
wow thanks - this has been so helpful. Yes the link has said that in some cases recently that the courts have not been sending out aq's, cutting corners to stop the delay tactics of the Bank. So I will wait and see. hopefully I will have a court date soon.
Thanks again and good luck with your claim ...
hi guys
i have not had a aq from the court yet , i am basically waiting to receive one, i was assuming that because i had not got one that A&L had not placed their defence with the court and what i had received from the solicitor was another scare tactic,
i need to look into this further
thanks for your help
hi guys
just seen the link, makes interesting reading they still have 10 days to go and i have not heard anything from the court yet so im still going to sit tight, nothing on my mcol file so im basically just waiting iwas wondering if the time runs out and i have not got my aq can i still apply for judgement or will some one say no because i have not sent my AQ
thanks
hi
have five days to go before judgement have not had any aq papers just the standard defence sent from solicitors,
noted a thread saying that they had not got a proper list of charges section 10, i also had this but as they sent me a photo copy of the charges thought it was a bit strange and im still sitting tight, could this possibly be a get out on a technical issue
Hi again - it has been over a week since I had a letter from the Court to say they were transferring my case to my local small claim court. I have had no aq and just seem to be doing nothing. Am very worried since the Lloyds case. Do you think we still stand a chance of claiming back our money or do you think the Banks will defend themselves. Thanks
Sit tight, do not worry. The Lloyds case was erroneous and is being correctly challenged. The banks know this, they may try to scare you off quoting it, but don't be hoodwinked
You can always ring your court for an update if you so wish.
I am sure we will here of your win shortly
There is no such thing as impossible; only the degree of difficulty required to achieve the desired outcome.
Read through the FAQ Section.... Use these links :grin:

I'm in the same boat as you Bubbles ... still waiting for a court date.
Can anyone tell me if now is the right time to send a draft order for directions, or is it wise to wait to hear from the court to see if the local judge needs an aq first?
hi
im pretty much at the same stage as you
i have the defence papers from the court and im just waiting for a court date, i would say start to get your bits and pieces ready in case you have to go to court, there are some good links on the site to help youi dont think it will do you any harm in getting ready early so you are prepared for the worst

I was wondering how your case is going. I am in exactly the same position as you. You said that they have until the 17th to return there AQ. Did they return it? If so, what happens now? have they asked for anything etc or is it just to wait for the court date?
Sorry for all the questions, Your the only person that seems to be in the exact same place as me, just 10 days ahead.
If anyone else is in the same place with waiting for A&L to return their AQ to the local curt, then please let me know how yours is going.
