Received the Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing) today to be heard on 12 September 2007. What, if any, action should I take now:?: The Court is asking for copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon, are there any such cases:?:

01/05/07 Today received paperwork from Northampton County Court dated April 27 2007, transferring my claim to my local court ( Coventry). With it was an order (Without Hearing) by a district Judge ststing that: "The filing of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case unless the District Judge at the court of transfer orders otherwise". Plus a Note stating "Any party affected by this Order may under Rule 3.3 (5) apply to have it set aside, varied or stayed. Such a party must apply under Rule 23.3 within 14 days of service of this order". Also that an allocation fee may be payable for in this instance. Firstly does the transfer mean that may claim has been allocated to the "small claims track"? If so what happens/do I do next? What do the Rules 3.3 (5) and 23.3 mean?

Thanks sihum. Got a letter from NatWest today offering £3167.85 in "full and final settlement of my complaint". My claim is for £3353.60, plus £870.26 interest and £250.00 court costs, so the offer is £1056.01 short. I want to hang out for all the claim if so what should my reply to the offer be? Oh yeah, they say that if I am unwilling to accept they may need to consider if they are prepared to continue to provide me with my existing banking facilities, and offer a simple account that does not offer borrowing facilities YAK YAK YAK!

Cobbetts have asked for more information under CPR Part 18. In am sending them a letter as laid out by MARTIN 3030 in thread dated 4 October 2006. Should I also send a copy of the letter to the court and tell Cobbetts I have done so:idea: You guys are so much help, thank you all.

NatWest's solicitors, Cobbetts of Manchester, want the following information from me and I am unsure what to say or where to find the information: They are asking me if I am claiming that I should'nt have been charged, - if yes an explaination as to why I should'nt have been charged - if no am I claiming that I should not have been charged the amount that I was - if yes to that explain why I contend that I should not have been charged that amount and identify a sum I content should have been charged - if no I must state my case. I claimed that "these charges are a disproportionate penalty" and they want particulars to support this, - specify the clause(s) pursuant to which the charges were applied - specify whether the charges applied were due to a breach of contract by me - identify in each case the particular breach of contract, by reference to appropriate term(s) of the contract that the charge related to. I claimed that the charges are "contrary to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999", they want me to, -specify all of the facts relied on by me in support of this , in particular the contractual provision(s) that I claim are invalid by reference to the Regulations. I am asked to provide a response by 27 April 2007 or they will apply to have aon order striking out the claim. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Trish Found it on the templates about 5 mins. after asking you!

Thanks Trish, what is MCOL? John

Cheers mate, I'll wait until 16 march - then BLITZ THE B--T--DS. Tally-Ho! I'm ex-RAF!!!

I have a claim in for £3575 and have had the crappy letter saying, sorry they are unable to reach an agreement (this is the first response, so what's that all about?), then goes on to say sorry we have not yet been able to respond (do they know what they are doing?), and asking me to bear with them. They have until friday 16 March to repay me in full, if not the Court action starts, already have all forms and copies of statements prepared. I havent claimed for a refund of interest charged for going over their overdraft limit etc, can we? has anyone done so, if you have what did you do? P.S. This is my first contact with you all, hiya!
