Default twinfly v Woolwich

this is my first logging on with this ID brother-in-law (davesuecpl) has been my guide to what to do etc. over the past 6 years the woolwich has charged me £857.52 so fingures crossed will be getting it back soon along with some interest maybe

i've done the Data Protection Act, 1st letter, and LBA bit and so far they have only offered 50% so now we've done the moneyclaim bit. just sit back and wait for the next move.

Latest update

Moneyclaim issued my claim on the 19/04 and Woolwich had untill the 08/05 to reply, and guess what to my suprize they never did. so on the 9th i applied for judgement and the court issued it that day . wonder how long they will take to repay me. would be really nice to apply for a warrant to get the bayliffs in.

Hi twinfly,

I filed my court forms on moneyclaim website today. So now i have to wait 14 days to see if Woolwich respond.

Also got a letter from the Woolwich today saying my complaint has been forwarded to head office as i didn't accept 50% goodwill gesture.

Good luck and i will keep you updated on any progress.
Fingers crossed.

I assume that the judgment is for payment immediately?

If so send a copy to your bank and demand payment by return, failing which you will take immediate steps to enforce the judgment.

Well it's been 9 days since judgement was issued and still no sign of any refund which was request for Immediate payment. so i think it's time to apply for a warrant for the Bayliffs to go in



WARRANT APPLIED FOR 18/05/06

Wonder where the bailiffs would actually go? To a local branch, or head office?

It looks like the address is or the "Woolwich PLC" part of it is incorrect - Does it maybe need to be "Barclays t/a Woolwich" or suchlike? I don't know if anyone on here has actually issued judgement against the Woolwich yet, I'll have a quick look and come back..

What a shame and at the last hurdle to. Keep us posted on this as am waiting for my statements from the woolwich to come through. And would like to see how you reslove this.
Although this might be the reason they did not pay up, if they knew all along that the address was wrong

You have put Woolwich Building Society and Woolwich PLC neither of which exist anymore. The correct format I believe is The Woolwich (Branch name here), Barclays Bank PLC, Branch address.

contacted moneyclaim and the problem was the use of the name "Woolwich Building Society". you can used "Woolwich" or "The Woolwich"

Was told this hicup would not effect my claim it was just to to keep all the paperwork straight.. so hopefully not too long till the warrent is served

Exclamation Urgent Help Please

Please can you help, bearing in mind judgement was issed on the 9th May Warrent was issued on the 18th and my local court has informed me the bayliff will be going in to by branch within the week.

got the following letter from Barclys this morning, what should i do cos something don't seem right on the order Barclys want me to sign

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am writing to you in connection with the default Judgment which came to the attention of the bank's Litigation team yesterday.

I believe that you had issued a claim via the Court Online service and in the absence of a Defence, secured a default Judgment on 9 May 2006 for £l,125.13p.

I have made enquiries, but have so been unable to trace the Claim Form.

Given the question over whether the Claim Form was served correctly, I would expect to make an immediate application to the court for the default Judgment to be set aside. However, I am conscious of the time involved for all concerned, i.e. for you to attend a court hearing and the cost of pursuing the matter further. I, therefore, propose to offer to settle your claim in full subject to your agreement to:­

1. There being a Stay of Execution;
2. That the refund of £l,125.13p is paid direct to your Woolwich account;
3. That you consent to the default Judgment being set aside;
4. The refund of £l,125.13p is in full and final settlement of your claim entitled 6QZ 24856; 5. The terms of this offer are confidential between yourself and the Bank.

I trust that you understand that I am putting forward this offer of settlement to avoid the time involved in making an application to the Court to have the judgment set aside. It, therefore, does not imply any acceptance of liability on the part of the Bank.

I enclose a draft Consent Order setting aside the Default Judgment. Please sign and return this to me and I will arrange for it to be filed at Court. You will see that it makes reference to us filing a Defence to your claim within 14 days. This will not be necessary as we intend to pay you in full, but nevertheless needs to be mentioned in the Order.

Please also sign the enclosed copy of this letter confirming your agreement and return it to me at the above address. Once I have received these documents from you, I will arrange for the funds to be recredited to your account no: 000000000. I have enclosed a stamp addressed envelope for your convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I'd sign it, excluding the confidentiality clause -as long as the figure includes all of your court costs...

Another victory??
