Right, letter written and posted. Will keep you updated on anything else I receive from the court

Sorry yes, in torrem was just a typo on my part because I was rushing. Alleycat, thanks for that info. I'm drafting my letter right now and will hand it in tomorrow. I will keep you posted on what the outcome is. Many thanks.

More gumf I imagine. I really don't know what more to say. HELP!

Will I ever get there? I've just opened a letter from the court asking for me to explain WHY the charges are unlawful, which I thought I did in my original letter. The letter says "The claimant still needs to say the legal basis he claims the charges were unlawful". I called them and explained that the charges were not an accurate estimate of what it costs them, that they are added in torrem, etc. but they're not accepting it. Anybody else been asked this? Advice on what to send back would be helpful.

To cut an 8 month, extremely long story short, I was flogged a mobile phone contract with 3 mobile via a cold-call from an agent called Communications Direct. It was a ‘too-good-to-be-true’ offer that I should have seen coming, but upon opening the box, was a pack of lies. I complained and was told to return the phone via a courier (would have cost me a shed load and was very skint at the time due to new baby in the house!) so sought help from Trading Standards. They told me I was not liable for return costs and wrote to CD on my behalf, explaining this and that I was covered un the Distance S

Alleycat, thanks for the link to this thread. I'm going to use this letter also and send it 1st class recorded tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Can I send something like this to Sheffield Court?

So how come I've got a letter this morning saying that my case is being stayed pending the outcome of the Elliot case? Do I just write back to the court saying that this case has already been settled?

Right, we have more info. I have a letter from Sheffield County Court stating upon reading both allocation questionnaires, the District Judge Directs that:- The court proposes to stay these proceedings pending the outcome of Elliot -v- TSB. Any representations to be made by 1st August 2006. The court awaits your response. Now, does this mean that I can still ask for my case to be heard individually? Do I have to say whay I think my case differs? I presume this Elliot case is the one that's being spoke about on other threads (which I've only briefly looked at so far). Next s

OOoo it's all gone quiet. How can I find out what's happening?

To cut an extremely long story short, I was sold a Three mobile phone via a cold call from an agency who promised me this cannot be beaten deal which I accepted. Upon opening the box and reading the T&C's I found it to be a load of rubbish. I told them to collect the phone (as advised by Trading Standards) which they refused to do and so when I didn't pay any bills it went to a debt collector, then to their solicitor. Their solicitor has not replied to my letter detailing all of this for about a month now. I just checked my credit score and I have now got a 3 months missed payment ma

Right, it's going. Thanks for the advice peeps. Donation will be made on completion.

Right, I'm ready to send a copy of the spreadsheet together with my note, which is detailed below. Is this ok to send? Do I need to say "with the judge's permission"? Help appreciated. I dispute that I have filed a “summary” of my claim and also that I failed to list the particulars of the claim. I refer to the letter sent to me on the 27 March 2006 by David Chapman (Customer Relations Manager) stating that the defendant actually does know the exact dates, amounts and reasons for the charges, as they have actually admitted to them and offered me a part refund on the same communicati

UPDATE- After waiting 10 days for Sheffield Crown Court to get Barclays to resend their COMPLETED defence, I called them to find out what was happening. I spoke to a lady there who check my file and discovered that the person dealing with my case has not sent off the request to Barclays. Hmm. Probably forgotten. However, good news. She contacted Barclays and they faxed it straight through. Should have a copy of it by Thursday.
