Just sending good wishes over to you

I'm watching and sending good wishes to the two of you (twoofus and sabaju2003) as my court date is the 21st.

I'll join you with a bottle anyway:). I know I was disappointed with the post this morning and like you just want it over with. If I was anywhere near you I'd join you as a court buddy but you know I'm not.

Nothing more for me either Sarah just wondering if we are going to get a letter similar to twoofus post above. Or are they now coming up with somethingelse in light of the Lloyds case and the Hull Court Judge decision to not hear cases.

My offer came in Saturday's post so let's see what tomorrow brings

Thank you:oops:

Sending off my rejection letter but have forgotten how I work out the daily interest rate, have done a few searches but nothings come up. Help someone please:confused: Think it is charges divided by interest, is this correct?

Oh I felt sure you would have had one too still it'll be on it's way. Mine wasn't from Ms Ross just Solicitor in dispute.

See my thread TD v YB, hope you have got the same offer if not better and including interest. Caro has kindly replied with a letter for me to send so if you have the same offer this will help you. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Thanks as always

In their without prejudice letter they claim that they are only prepared to make the ex gratia offer as the costs of defending the claim will quickly become disproportionate to the sum claimed. I seem to have got an offer quickly from them receiving my court bundle on the 24th May. In my defence I referred to CYNTHESYS and the MP re charges plus McNamara plus all the other cases in the basic court bundle. What I'd like to do is send them a letter rejecting the offer and asking for the interest but, to which date, date of claim, date offer received or court date? I'd like to refer to the fact that they have had plenty of time to make an offer as they knew all along the costs of defending were disproportionate and I'd also like to bring in something about disclosing their actual costs. Can anyone help me in wording this letter or point me in the right direction please? I'm like so many others very unfamiliar with courts and just don't want to write the wrong thing. Thanks again to all who have been helping me.

Thanks Twoofus. I have been following your claim and so many others that I've started to get confused!! I'm wondering how to word my letter back to them to reject their offer and stick out for the interest. I'd hoped Caro would have been along as she has been soooooooo helpful in the past. I tried to pm but her mail box is still full. Good tactic for a bit of peace!!! I can't seem to find a template letter for this stage. Good luck with your claim. You said in the post that you'd been to court what happened please?

Offer received this morning for £505.00 being full amount of claim plus £80 court costs but no to 8% interest as they say this is only at the discretion of the court. Have to sign duplicate of letter and notice of discontinuance at court. Do I send all this back with rejection letter and hope they will pay court interest with no need for me to go to court please? Or do I now accept? Hoping Sajabu2003 has an offer when she returns from her weekend break as YB received our court bundles on same day.

Court bundle sent off today to Ms Ross so, with mine and Sajabu2003 going today, she's going to have a busy time trying to find our files from behind her filing cabinet lol

T & Cs do these have to go in then.

If you get your answer would you post on here please.

I would have thought the genuine pre-estimate as it says "in any event". I've got a similar dilemma. I know what you mean about running out of steam and being confused and everyone seems to have deserted us!!!! TBH people must be getting fed up with the same old questions being asked but I have tried searching the threads for different things and there is SO MUCH to trawl through that a) I run out of time (seemed to be all day on my court bundle yesterday and still more to do) and b) get more and more confused. Thanks again for your help yesterday.

Where do I put the data protection fee and court costs please to ensure I get these back.

Doing the court bundle today, do I do the latest schedule of charges with interest up to and incl. the court date? Have downloaded the court bundle zip file and my printer is churning stuff out, is this correct to send all these case notes? Can't link to the early day motion from the House of Parliament nor the OFT summary can anyone provide links here please? Finally, can I print and send the Whistleblower document?

Thanks for that. I presume you only copy the bank statements that show charges?

Spoke to the listing officer at the court and he didn't seem to think the case would be transferred to the Mercantile court at Leeds in fact he asked me what it was!!

Can I panic with you Sajabu. You kindly posted on my thread TD v YB. I have to prepare my bundle for the court so would be grateful for anything you can point me to on this site. Understand to copy everything but wondered about what to print off this site to help defend my claim as to why the bank were wrong to take the money. So I will also now be panicking in case I really do have to go to court.

Looked back on the notice of allocation to small claims court letter and it says to deliver copies to other party and court 14 days before hearing date. So I'll get on with this this weekend.

Thanks that makes more sense. Oh I'll turn up alright.

Sorry Caro I don't understand the bit one person didn't pay up. I caught the very end of this on our local news but didn't know what it was about and couldn't find anyonelse who had seen it. I'll have a look at the Mercantile thread. I can't believe all this for £505.00!! Someone elsewhere said that if it is transferred to Mercantile to ring YB litigation dept to tell them and then watch them panic and pay up ?!?!?
