I have just had a letter from DG Solicitors acting on behalf of HSBC this morning. It is asking for a fully itemised breakdown of the amount claimed within my Claim Form, they require an itemised list of the date of the charge, description of the charge and value of the charge together with a note of the interest, if any, I have claimed. They finish by saying 'At this juncture we are unable to address your claim without the information sought and which will serve to dealy any potential resolution of this matter' I am planning to reply along the lines of 'This information has already been sent to HSBC and I do not feel it is my responsiblity to re-sent information that your cleint already has. Also the 28 days from HSBC being served the papers is up this Firday, so if I refuse to send them the information as their cleint already has it can they accuss me of not submitting evidence and get the case thrown out. I don't feel I am being unreasonalbe in telling them to contact HSBC for the itemised breakdown, am i? anyones help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Claire Thanks for your reply. Does this now mean we have to do something to enter judgement or does the court automatically enter judgement for us. I want to act on this straight away if we have to do something....... Thanks again.

I am hoping that someone reading this can help make things a bit clearer for me. I am filing a claim against RBS, everything was going along as I had expected when i received a copy of their allocation questionaire (filled in by their solicitors). In section G, other information, they requested that 'the court strike out the claim as I had not shown that I had reasonable grounds for bringing the Claim and despite the Defendant requesting that the Claimant remedy the lack of particularit pleaded in the Particulars of Claim within 14 days, the Claimant had failed to do so'. I instantly repled and copied in the court advising that i acknowledged all correspondce from them and i did not feel that I need to further explain my grievances with them as I had already done so directly with RBS and as their client I would assume that they would have provided them with all the necessary information. Anyway in early December we received a letter from the court, this is what it said. IT IS ORDERED THAT The court being of the view that the particulars of claim are sufficiently particularised: 1. Unless the defendant do by 18 December 2006 file a particularised defence to the claim, the defendant be debarred from defending the claim and the claimant may enter judgement for the amount claimed and fixed costs. We received another letter today: Upon the court having read the amended defence of the 13 December 2006 and being of the view that it is not a particularised defence in accordance with the order of 22 November 2006. IT IS ORDERED THAT There be permission to the claimant to enter judgement for the amount claimed and fixed costs. My husband and i have no legal backrounds and are a bit confused as to what this means, does it mean we are able to carry on with our claim and go to court or does it mean we have one????? Sorry for the long post but i wanted you to know the full story and where we were coming from Thanks
