Good morning all...:)

I started my claim in November 2006, called into my local branch and requested statements...after 7 further visits (each time I was told 'they're (a) on their way, (b) being dealt with...etc) finally got statements in late March 2007! :evil: (Had to sit in bank and say 'not going till you give me...)!However sent 1st letter 4/4/2007, reply by HSBC 15/4/2007 'looking into this...8 weeks etc...' I IMMEDIATELY (16/4/2007) sent second letter, (both included copy schedule of charges, £3700 total) letter included an offer to settle @ £3000.00.(Within 14 days of letter date) Even went into local branch on last day and they faxed Head Office, but no reaction by HSBC! Filed MCOL on 1/5/2007, proceedings acknowledged by HSBC sols on 3/5/2007 (note Court say 'deemed served on 6/5/2007') nothing heard as of today. 28 days from date of service expires 3/6/2007 (Sunday). Trial bundle (3 copies - including T&C from 2003) prepared and ready for service on HSBC and Court. Possible Judgement by Default...watch this space!!

 

Unbelievable the poor approach by HSBC....their staff often said 'we can't cope'...need I say more.

Best wishes to you all...apologies for long post!

Update: 2013 Following our recent (9/7/13) hearing about Bank Charges at the Court of Appeal, and refusal to grant permission to Appeal; an Application has just (23/10/2013) been made for a fresh hearing and the Court Location is yet to be confirmed!

Hi and good luck. You seem to have it all sorted. Don't forget you don't have to get your court bundle in until 14 days before your court date. It will cost you a fortune so don't send the bundles until you have to. You should getan offer before then.

Start sending nudge letters to dg together with a copy of your breakdown of charges. Also send 2 copys of your schedule to your local court and ask them to be included with your claim.

Dg will put in a defence at the last minute and even if they miss the deadline the courts seem to give them more time. Once they defend your case will be transfered to your local court.

There are loads of brilliant threads on this site that will tell you in more detail what should happen next. Just shout if you need help and you will get help.

Thanks for the info...all help VERY gratefully received.:)

 

It seems they have till the end of today (It's Friday)....If they do put in a defence at the last minute, :evil: I shall have the option of asking for it to be struck out as an 'abuse of process'.

I will however be applying immediately Monday morning at 9.30 (when the Court opens) for ('Judgement by default') if they don't.:lol:

 

LET'S KEEP 'DOING IT TO THEM - THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT TO US!!!

 

BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE.:)

TRIAL BUNDLE SENT TO DG - UPDATE FOR ALL.....On Tuesday 3rd July 2007, I sent my trial bundle prepared with the wonderful assistance of everyone here (many thanks :) ) to DG Solicitors by Special Delivery at the Post Office. It cost £7.50 but guaranteed delivery by 9 a.m. Wednesday 4th July!!! (A good day in the USA! - might be the same at DG!!)

 

Also at the same time went to Eastbourne County Court and filed my copy trial bundle for the Judge and paid the Allocation fee of £100.00, even though the AQ had been dispensed with. NOW WAITING.......?

Hi there ! I only just found your posts, but I too am at Eastbourne County court on 20th V Barclays.....They havent entered a request for a stay so the court says it will go ahead. I have however, sent in a letter opposing any application from them, but my guess is they will turn up and apply there and then! Fingers crossed for us both!

Just a thought for all appearing in court, If the banks solicitors show up and start producing things you have never seen before, like Paul Daniels on a good day ask the judge to adjourn the case for a week to allow you to consider the new material and come back here and post what they are doing/asking for.

 

If your case does get stayed ask the judge to make it a condition of the stay that all further charges to your account are also suspended until the lawfulness of those charges is established by the OFT test case.

Thanks freakyleaky - and all of you. I have just (10) minutes ago been in front of Deputy District Judge Parkes, she listenend to my pleadings which were taken from this site - Thanks for that - about a stay contradicting my human rights and was about to allow the stay to remain....HSBC sent a Barrister (£500.00 an hour???!!!), BUT this lady barrister was not instructed by DG, she was instructed by another firm of Solicitors!! This barrister tried to argue that mine was the only case which was asking for a stay to be lifted and that in every other case a stay was being kept. I said this was not the case, and quoted details from this site. I then told the Judge EXACTLYwhat had happened since the beginning of this claim - took 7 visits and over six months to get my statements - no response from HSBC to LBA, sent 4 letters to DG over 2 months - no response to those, not even acknowledgement! Told how I filed my Trial Bundle on 3/7/07 and DG had until 30/7/07, but had not filed. Also said nothing heard from DG at all as at today's date. Barrister embarrassed and said 'would seek instructions' offered to speak to her clients for me - I declined. Barrister said "DG did not file bundle because of the OFT ruling", I replied " That ruling went public on 27/08/07, which was a Friday, the last date for DG to file was that day because their time limit expired on 30/8/2007 the following Monday, therefore it was clear they were abusing the system and had no intention of defending", Judge was not pleased and proceeded to tell Barrister to speak to her clients in this regard. I also added that I am being taken to Court for repossession of my property by GE Money on 13th September 2007, following a long and acrimonious divorce, I receive Incapacity benefit, Industrial injuries benefit and am registered disabled. I told the Judge if HSBC had paid when I first requested them to do so, I would have been up to date on my mortgage. I showed the Judge written proof of all of this. Judge then said " I am going to the lift the stay in view of the hardship that has been caused by the defendants lack of action.I am setting the matter down for Final Hearing on 6th September 2007 time estimate one and a half hours". I thanked the Judge...Barrister not happy bunny.!....then left for some fresh air.

There is Justice after all - let's not be beaten by these bullies. It is our right to fair and proper treatment from everyone, provided we return that to those we encounter.

SINCERE THANKS TO ALL ON THIS SITE - GREETINGS TO THOSE WHO WERE THERE - AND REMEMBER 'IT'S OUR MONEY WE'RE AFTER!!

KIND REGARDS TO EVERYONE.:)

Nice work, you did very well, I have only seen a stay effectively removed a couple of times.

 

Was this hearing in Eastbourne?

 

I presume they will settle prior the 6 Sept now.
