ARGH. Of all the times for the printer to run out of ink :o Ok so ive scrawled that on the bottom of the copy of the letter i had already done for him. Will send special delivery in the morning. Hopefully he can read my hand writting

Thanks Gary, yeah i had thought about that, but mr Lombardi is requesting a copy of the letter i sent to the court along with the agreement form. I suppose i could hold back sending the courts copy a couple of days? would that be ok? I amended the letter above to the court to say they have agreed to pay the money within a few working days. Im hoping that along with the letter they have sent stating theyre intention to pay is pretty binding.

to anyone waiting for settlement before this date... wouldnt panic too much as i received full offer today, so looks like they are getting through them. good luck to anyone else panicing about going to cardiff

good news received a FULL settlement offer today. Will be posting back the signed form in the morning along with letter to the court stating that it has been settled. Is there a template in existence for this or is there no real need for anything too wordy? thanks everyone for theyre help on this im sure i couldnt have got here alone - donation will be incoming once the moneys in my account

I also had an order transfering my claim from my local(ish) county court to cardiff. Bit annoying really as its turned it into a 170mile round trip.

Are all the hearings onm the 26ht march in cardiff, directions hearings? thats what my letter says at least as i understand it you dont need to attend but can send written representation (ie reasons to allocate it to small claims). Reading that quote above has me worried that i will need the full court bundle!!!

Hi, see here... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/guidance-notes/64911-got-court-date-guide.html and also here and Garys post after it... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/36862-dene-barclays-3.html#post571555 hope that helps

Thanks Gary, I have added that to the exiting letter. I will hold off sending just yet though untill im 100% on what i will be doing. May try giving barclays a ring first though to test the water.

sorry if this is a bit long winded... Just deciding if im going to attend the directions hearing. will need to book it off monday. IF i dont go (might yet but IF i dont)... would the following be ok as "written representation" ...and enclose a copy of the draft order (as already sent with AQ) http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/57708-draft-order-allocation-questionnaires.html#post482148 and a copy of this related order from the court... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/GaryH_bucket/Order.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/GaryH_bucket/Orderpage2.jpg would that about cover it? or have i got the wrong end of some stick. already got confused once and was going to send the court bundle so that wouldnt surprise me!

ah. of course. never thought to ask what it said in the accompanying letter!!. Shame hes already paid it into his overdrawn NatWest account as ive just read that the cheque could acctually have been paid into any account. Still im sure he will be chuffed anyway. thanks again. now i just with my claim against barclays would result in a cheque out of the blue like this but im not holding my breath

Hi sorry to jump on your thread but i have a friend who is in a similar position. he was taking NatWest to court, already filed and received a date as far as i know. today he received a cheque from them for the full amount (less 2 charges that are now more than 6 years old) and has paid it into his NatWest account (seems he had to because it said payable to acc number on it, which i find odd - but im guessing he has an overdraft that needs clearing) anyway its paid in. should he wait a while before sending the discontinuation of claim forms to the back and courts for the cheque to clear? surelly they wouldnt do anything like cancel the cheque before it clears? if someone could give a quick reply on this as hes phoning at 8 i'd be very gratefull ta

Hi, I also have my court bundle about ready to be sent but havnt sent it yet as like above wondering do we wait a bit. Or even maybe a letter approaching them to settle might be a good idea? dazpara, so you're just going to take your own copy ofd the bundle with you to court on the day? Personally im not sure if i will be able to get to cardiff yet so im thinking seeing as were totally snowed in here until the big melt im gonna get everything ready and post a copy of the bundle to both barclays and the court. unless anyone thinks this is a bit soon?

hi, seems theres a few for the 26th so far... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/61142-directions-hearing-set-26th.html

yep another one here for 26th March at cardiff

does indeed look like the 26th is gonna be busy!! checking out the threads now. ta
