OK - I've posted the letters off - I guess all I can do now is wait and see what happens... Is it also worth writing to the court? and if so, what is best to write - is there a template which could help me phrase the reasons for me to oppose their proposal of having the case set aside?

...anyone know if I can/should send these letters with the above timescale?

Sorry Aud, again, do you mean to add the statistic of 94 settled cases? Also, I'm not sure if they have actually breeched any rules as they have aplealed to have the case set aside, which I thought they were within their right to do, I could be wrong, I don't understand all of the knitty-gritty behind it all. The order of judgement was dated 15th August. On their draft order, they have failed to add a date to it - it just says "dated this day of 2007" however the N244 is dated 21st August 2007. Finally, the "Notice of Hearing of Application" is dated 30th August 2007. So, I don't know wheather they are actually breaching Civil Procedure or not - any ideas? Also, their argument for having the case set aside until after the test case is that "the test case represents the most efficient & proportionate means to resolve those issues in an expenditious fashion" ...this is all so complicated!! Thanks again, Dave

So I have drafted the two letters, one to the OFT & one to the MoR. They are both using your templates. I'll send them off tomorrow - I've not got anything to lose... right? Sorry, I struggle to understand what you write sometimes, do you mean there another 8 letters to send off? Also, what do you mean when you say I also need the legal challenge? Thanks again for the assistance.

I should probably point out that they handed the allocation questionnaire in late - due to an "admin error".

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my situation; Here's the brief lowdown... I did all the usual stuff - writing to the banks to request my charges to be returned with interest, started the small claims procedure through moneyclaim. This then went to Walsall County Court, filled the allocation questionnaire, etc. The bank failed to do this by the deadline so I ordered a judgement against HSBC. Now... HSBC's solicitors DG have applied for the judgement to be set aside. They have sent, via the court, their application notice, N244, a witness statement, a copy of the judgement and a drawft order which they request the judgement set aside and the proceedings stayed pending final determination of the test case. I have a hearing set for 18th October 2007, at 14:30. Can anyone help me prepare for this, by telling me what I need to take with me, hopefully to prevent them from getting the judgement set aside. Many Thanks, Dave
