Having started MCOL, defence has been received along with CPR Part 18 request. Do I need to respond to these, deadline of 19 September has been given. They make these requests sound as if they are from the court. Is this their normal tactic. Any advice on how to proceed would be welcome. First Request for repayment sent 8/6/06. Letter before action sent 28/6/06. MCOL started 3/8/06. Defence received 6/9/06.

Look at some of the longer threads of people vs RBS theres loads of info on how to respond to this, including a few template letters drafted by people. Its nothing to worry about and mearly a stalling tactic.

ive got the letter i sent in reply to this in my thread.....send similar one with the spreadsheet with charges etc as well as bank details etc

BC:p

just sent you a reply to the pm.....send one copy to court, one to cobbetts

If your claim is under £5,000 and on Small Claims track there is no reason to respond to a Part 18 request.

That's right,

there's no need to respond to CPR Pt 18, but at the same time, as a goodwill gesture it wouldn't count against you to reply anyway. The majority of the request gets covered by sending a copy of your spreadsheet with the relevant details (name, sort code, acc no)!! So there's no hardship there. I actually think the request makes the RBS/Cobblers relationship look somewhat dubious. And at the same time I am convinced that Cobblers are just using tactics to put us off and delay matters.

BC:p

I wonder if everyone claiming from RBS sends the exact same reply when cobbetts send the CPR Pt18 request, will they surely learn that this intimidation/stalling tactic is failing them? I filed papers 3 weeks ago and are yet to hear from them! Does anyone know if CPR Pt18 is even relevant in Scotland?

Gargs,

don't know about the CPR in Scotland thing, but you'd think that just by looking at the similar wording on the MCOL/Claim they might think that there's something strange going on, oh, and everyone is replying back when normally their legalese puts claimants off. I'm just trying to think if there are any relevant jokes about solicitors, all I can come up with so far is estate agents (What's yellow and looks good on an Estate Agent? - A JCB!)!:o

BC:p

lmao big col nice one definately think this applies to sloicitors too

Theres an old joke about what do you call 3,000 solicitors at the bottom of the sea?.... A Start. (Hope there aren't any solicitors claiming here though;-) )

That's right,

Agreed, I sent the standard letter ("i don't have to reply, but as a gesture here are the charges"), and added that I have already sent these to National Westmister Bank PLC on several occasions, and indeed the information was originally sourced and is still held by them on their database anyway.
