Can someone tell me how long does it take the courts to send me the court date after i sent the allocation questionaire. Its been almost 2 weeks since i returned the form and still aint heard nothnig from them. Is this the norm?? Cheers

Thanks guys, my fee is under £1500 so it looks like i dont have to pay the £100. Thanks Dave:)

I have filled in my form but not sure whether i need to send a payment with this. It doesnt say anywhere on the form that i have to ay anything as of yet. But i heard the fee is £100. Can anyone help me on this mater please. Cheers Dave

Need some advice please!!! Last week i recieved the court papers saying that abbey had till the 24th to respond to my claim. However, today i recieved more court papers saying that Abbey intend to defend the whole claim, which then goes on to say it has 28 days to file a defence. What does this mean now for my claim. Does this mean its going to go to court. Any help will be much appreciated once again. Thanks Dave

Thanks Karn much appreciated. This version is much shorter and to the point. Thanks Dave

I have written a draft letter here which I am going to send to the abbey. Its about the rejection of the GOGW and what I am going to do next. I need to write the address in and my account number but if someone can check the content of the letter that will be much appreciated. Letter>>>> R.E Reply of GOGW offer Dear Mr Roger Evans Thank you for the letter of GOGW revived on 25th January 2007. Although I am grateful for the £360 which you returned to me I still need the reminder of what is owed to me. Because of this I can only accept this as a partial offer and I still require the reminder of the charges which add up £552. I have to tell you this will be the last letter in which I will be sending to you as I am about to send the forms off to the claims court in order to get the reminder of the charges back. I am sorry that it as to go down this route . I have given you plenty of notice and written to you on numerous occasions asking for what is owed to me.

I thought if u do it online u just follow this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/34887-5-money-claim-line.html. And if u want to do it over the counter or post u send the charges schedule up. Doing it online there is no facility where u can send the list of charges. The way i was orginally going to do it was use this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/34887-5-money-claim-line.html to fill in the money claim form state that i have had a gogw and take that off the final total. Then i was going to send them a letter saying i will only accept this as a partile payment and still expect the reminder of the total. Is this right or am I going the wrong way about it. Thanks for your help its much appreicated Dave

Today i recieved another letter and this time its a gesture of good will offer. They have offered to give me £410 and the sum in which I am asking for is £930. They go on to say that they believe that they have not broken any rules and they comply with the office of fair trading. This letter comes on the day that the deadline is up before i send the money claim form over the internet. Now i got this letter I am not sure on how to proceed. Do i go ahead with the claim but take off the £410 pounds or do i wirte to the abbey and tell him its not good enough and i want the full refund. Any help on this matter willl be much appreciated. Thanks again Dave

Cheers guys much appreciated. Just waiting for the 14 days to pass then will send my moneyclaim form off over the internet.

Ive just been told by a mate that you can only claims ur bank charges back if it happened with a credit card or u have an agreed overdraft limit. With ny case i just have a normal bank account with no agreed overdraft limit with abbey national. Will this effect my case?? I have now got to the stage where on thr 25th i will send off my moneyclaim form over the internet. Just wondering if its worth contiuning with my claim. Also my dad seems to think that there could be a chance that the court will throw my case out and therefore i could be liable for something. Is this true?? Any help on the questions above will be much appreciated.

Recieved another letter today saying that im sorry bla bla bla, The usual rubbish and it will take up to another weeks whilst we look into ur complaint. So i take it now is the time to make the claim. Do u suggest i do it online?? and just follow the instructions. Thanks Dave

thanks guys much appreciated the 14 days are up so i will now send the next letter.

Today i recieved a letter from abbey in response to my first letter i sent which was for repayment. The letter i recieved was from the buisness manager and he basically says ''sorry that ur unhappy, one of my team will be investigating your complaint''. Then goes onto say handling the compalint can take a long time but we will write to you within 4 weeks if we havent contacted you before that. Then goes onto say if you empoyed a solicter or any third party it wont change how quick it can handle the complaint. With this letter do i now wait for the 4 weeks to come or do i send the next letter giiving them another 14 days to repl. Any help wil much appreciated once again. Thanks Dave

thanks:)

I am about to write my first letter asking for my money back but not sure how to write the charges down. Do i just put the date and the amount down in a spredsheet or do i put other information down aswell. Any help will be much appreciated. Dave
