Well i hit a liitle hurdle i have discovered i dont have to pay court fees due to benefits but i need a letter to confirm this should take about 5 days then i will crack on with claim only wish i'd discovered this sooner . RBS have ignored LBA so onwards an upward i go i'll fight them all the way and now its gonna cost them more than it would have done to start with but i dont spose they are bothered being they are still raking in all the charges they can afford it cant they .

Well lets hope my letter arrives sooner rather than later.

Will this affect me in any way being that i havent stuck to MY time scale ???

zoe

No, in all fairness IF it ever gets to small claims it will show the judge you have been more than fair. The timetables are just a guide, not binding.

Thanks Zoe

I also cant get up the spread sheet for interest it says it wont open anyone no where else i can find one as i have tried all of them on here and still cant do it ???

You could always do it the old fashioned way.....with a calculator! the spreadsheet scared me! lol ....so I worked out the interest on each charge using this formula......charge X 0.00022 X number of days since offence....

OR....wait for someone with a bit more technical knowledge to help you! ;>)

Wxx

HI Willow how did you figure out the number of days bit ??? i'm having a nightmare with it at the moment i've given up now been trying for the last hour n half grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Charge x 0.00022 x number of days

Hi.....I've copied and pasted this for you from FAQs...

Q. Can I claim interest?

A. When you put in a court claim, and not before, you should claim interest at the statutory rate, which is currently 8%. You must add a section to your claim in the following way:

"The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% per year from (date when the money became owed to you) to (the date you are issuing the claim) of £XXX - (enter the amount) and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment, or earlier payment, at a daily rate of £X.XXp (put in daily rate of interest)"

You will need to work out the interest you are owed up to the date you start the claim. You first need to work out the daily rate of interest. Using a calculator, do the following:

0.00022 X the amount of your claim – this gives you the daily rate of interest.

Ok? So the 0.00022 just gives you the daily rate then you work out how many days since the charge (start with the very first charge, it's easier taking off days) which will give you the amount.....hope this helps?

thanks much appreciated will crack on again with it tonight will keep updated though
