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 was just wondering if there are any impending courts hearings with A&l within the next couple of weeks? there seems to be an awful lot of people 'waiting' after having received a defence.
Hi Sarah, I was thinking that as well - my partner had a defence letter form the sols (busy busy busy Wragge & Co!!) on the 25th April & had it confirmed from the court on about the 4th May - but nothing else since - no dates etc.... if they do try to defend all these they will be shattered!!
wragge sent me a copy of there aq they askd for a months delay i think they had more than enough time.... i started back in feb, but due to illness there is a loaddd of gaps in when things should have been sent and were sent... so in my mind they have had all the time they are getting to settle... hope the court agrees tho

[quote=Jess68;838342] Hi Jess
I took on A&L and won. They filed a defence but backed down and paid the full amount. However they closed my account.
Drama Queen
When i posted this question my court was upposed to be this coming Thurs, until the head judge in Northern ireland decided he wnated ot wait for a test case in England to be heard and all our cases have now been put back until the end of June.
I am so angry!! I thought i would be quids in this week!!
I attached the draft order to the aq and I sent a copy of this to Wraggys with letter refusing their kind offer - have had no response to letter.. had a letter from court, they are v behind and it could be weeks before it even goes into the DJ box. thought this would be nearly over now... hopefully your court will be not too busy and you might get a date in not too distant future . Wish at least one of us at the same stage would get something different than the silly offer (they must know we are not going to accept) cant believe some of the offers!! not even half in some cases.

Thanks Kate Not sure what to do about the draft directions as AQ may be dispensed with, though may be required by local judge. Do you think I should wait to hear from the court about a hearing date and if one is needed before I send?
sorry logged off last night, I think that maybe you could file one with the court cos do you still have to pay the £100 fee even if the aq may be dispensed with. Think that I would give the court a ring and ask them what they think they are really helpful here with regards to things like that.
I have received the defence from wragge and co and notification that it has been transferred to my local court, so just sitting tight at the mo and waiting for the next stalling tactic, seems to be going on for ages x
you might get a cheque for difference between £12.00 charge and one of their generous offers to keep your bank account open. That's what seems to happen in most cases with Wragges
Hi all
My case has been sent to local court but looks as though theres no aq, Should I wait to heasr from local court or send my draft directions NOW. OOeer.
Hi Kate, i did get an offer for the £12, i sent it back to them with a lovely letter. Really hope things speed up with them, the whole thing seems to be taking ages. xx
Is anyone up in court with A&L soon?

Awaiting a court date, which should be organised by the court next week (or so they told me when I rang).
