Hi Leer 29,
I have a court date the same day as you 28June. My court date is a direction hearing, so it will be interesting to see if either of us get any offers from D&G
before this date
Hello,
I have a "general form of judgment or order " from the court dated 31st May 2007.
I am now soooo confused as to what i have to do. Do i send all corresponding documents to the solicitor and court with my £100 allocation fee. Or do i wait and send a nudge letter to Dg.
Please advise i have read and read and the more i read the more uncertain i am!
You will need to prepare the court bundle. You will some help on this in the bank templates library. You will also need to pay the aq fee of £100.00, when you have to pay this by I do no know. Giove the courts a ring and ask when you have to pay. Don't start printing off the bundle just yet, write a nudge leeter to DG, explain to them about the hearing and that you need to know the name and address of the person to whom you are supposed to send the court bundle. Hopefully that nudge letter may push them into settling your claim, and it will save a few trees in the process as you wouldn't have actually printed off anything yet. bear in mind if you do not get a settlement by a few days before the ie the 6th July, this will give you the whole weekend to get all the necessary paperwork together. have a read of the bundle in the library and if you need anything just ask.

I have just spoken to the court they said i have to paid the aq fee by the 14th June, but dont need to file my copy documents until 12th July. So i have that settled and clear in my head at last!
What about the nudging letter to Dg are there templates of these?.
Also should i now send my corresponding documents to Dg or wait and send them also when i send copies to the court?
Re: XXXXX - v - HSBC
account no,
claim no and filing date(mcol).
It has come to my attention that as of xx/xx/07, ( date of the letter from the court) that an Allocation Questionaire may not be required in this case.
I am mindful of the vast number of claims with which you are currently dealing. In order to more speedily resolve this matter, I am willing to accept the sum of £xxxx. (rounded down to nearest pound-keep this as your full amount including charges, interest and court filing fee). I do not agree to waive my rights in respect of any other actions, nor do I agree to a clause of confidentiality.
I hope to hear from you very soon so that a reasonable conclusion to this claim might be achieved. I am sure that the courts would approve of our settling this matter in a timely manner and without their further intervention.
For your records, I enclose another copy of my schedule of charges. I look forward to hearing from you.
