ARGH! please can someone remove ***WON*** the title from this thread. Just checked the link and I just rang my boyf to see if he can remember if there was anything on the scm letter that i needed to sign to say i agreed and he said no. he cant find the scm letter so its from memory. Its as good as NOT recieving a letter from SCM really - might as well not recieved it. Dont know what to do. Unless m,my boyf can find the SCM letter i might as well just wait til i get homeo n friday, sign the jusgement, and wait til the court send it to LTSB, wait til SCM get thier fingers out and pay up. N I G H T M A R E

OK Court just said i need to sign thier letter and send it back to them, then they will send a letter to all the parties concerned. FFS. Can someone help regadrs this SCM letter? DO i have to wait til i send the sigend judgement back now, or does the SCM letter mean they have to pay up now? SCM - stupid crappy mongboys.

MAJOR UPDATE - PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ADVISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rang scm and spoke to Andy again. Explained it all again, and said i didnt understand legalese and that i didnt have the docs in front of me and that if the court has sent a letter saying the defence is struck out, is that a judgement? He said yes, and i needed to speak with Mr Jones department. So i thanked him for his help and hung up. Rang back and asked to speak to someone in Mr Jones dept and the woman said I am part of mr jones dept. I started to explain again and she asked if i was on a mobile i said yes she said i was breaking up and i said Id ring back ona landline I rang back and got a man He asked me for my name and claim number (again) He asked who i have already spoken to I told him He asked if I had an open account with ltsb I said yes He asked me to hold the line and i did for about 5 minutes He came back and asked what I have done so far I explained (again) that I have not closed the court claim because I havnt recieved any money He then said he couldnt find my details and file. I explained (again) that all I wanted to do was find out who had written me that letter and what was hapening with my case. He saiddid i have a calim number (!) so i told him it (again) He said could i hold the line - i did for about 2 minutes Someone else came on and asked how far in the proceedings I was I explanied (again) and i asked if this was a different person i was speaking to He said yes I asked who it was and he said Mr jones Getting somewhere - youd think... Now this Mr Jones's tone was very aggressive indeed, VERY aggressive. I said I didnt understand legal language, and all iwanted was for someone to explain to me what was happening. He stated he did understand legal language and asked my how far i was in my claim I explained (again) that I had a letter receieved from them on 16th May, dated 15th May that the £3k will be in my account within 5 working days, that I receievd a letter from the court on 21st May, dated 11th May stating the defence had been struck out. He said He hadnt recieved a judgement. I asked why had they sent me a letter saying they would pay the money in my account. He said it shouldnt have gone out. I said well it has. He said well, he isnt doing anything til he recieves a copy of the judgement I said give me your fax number, i will fax you a copy. He gave me the number, i slammed down the phone and stomped off outside to phone my boyf to tell him and had my first ciggarette in 5 months. My boyf is going home to find the judgement and letter for me to fax to ****. Surey, the letter they sent to me dated 15th May saying the money will be in my account is a binding contract?????? I think i will phone derby court... Signing off... for now...

UPDATE!!!! STILL No money in my bank. I rang SCM to chase them up and got put through to a lad and explained to him. He said I needed to speak with Mr Jones. I rang back and asked to speak with Mr Jones. she said he wasnt in. I said when will he be in. She said whats it about I explained she said when did I get the court order. I explained I recieved it dated 11th Maty She said they havnt got round to dealing with anything after 8th May I started getting a little p1ssed and said (for the eighty ninth time) well I got a letter dated 15th May from SCM saying the money will be in my account within 5 working days, and its now the 8th working day. She snottily told me to calm down and that yes mr jones will get back to me. She took my number and said he would ring. That was an hour ago. i dont believe them. I rang my boyf and asked if he could remember who signed the letter. He couldnt Iwork away from home and unfortunatly.... he cant find the letter.... so SCM are playing daft @rses and i got no proof they said theyd pay. Think i will ring back and ask to speak with Andy again, explain for the two hundred and seventy third time the situation, ask them not to baffle me with legalese and ask who is dealing with my case, and who wrote me that letter and what the hell is gong on. Oh, and we got IT issues at work and I cant do anything so im frustrated at that too... i am sooooo hacked off today.

Aw thanks GT! I reckon they must have meant to put int hier letter "within 5 working days, or maybe 8, or it could be 10!"

Fingers crossed for ya

Well, update, money not in. I think LTSB and SCM have been watching this thread and 'avin a larf at my expense. WELL YOUR NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE! I just rang SCM, and I had to explain about 3 times to the thicko woman that LTSB was struck out and that Id recieved a letter from SCM saying that LTSB was struck out and that theyd pay within 5 days and that was the 15th blah blah blah.... so she transferred me to a bloke who asked if Id checked my account, i was like er, no i havnt checked it for like 3 days... I didnt really say that but I should have, so i said yes just before i rang and the man said he'd look into it... BIG FAT YAWN!

Thanks pondy:) Ive just tried to ring SCM, lazy g1ts, thier office is closed! They got a nerve, like gingatossa said - its ok for them lot to ignore deadlines, but when its us little people missing a deadline by 2 mins or 10p all hell breaks loose an money gets stolen from our accounts and we have to really fight to get it back. its bl00dy ridiculous.

Hurray! I just want to go shopping! I work on Oxford street for crying out loud and theres a wardrobe of clothing out there with my name on!!!! The court struck them out on the 11th and the letter from scm was dated 15th (last tuesday). They said within 5 working days, so it should have been yesterday! I know I sound like a greedy little madam, an impatient greedy little madam to boot (well whats a few more days after waiting all these months!?) but you cant blame me for getting excited and frustrated can you!?

Actually, boyf just got in and there was a letter from the court, saying that they struck out LTSB! So they cant take me to court even if they wantd to fnar fnar... STILL NO DOSH IN MY BANK THOUGH BOO HOO!!!!!

OKAY! - no money in my account yet! its the fifth working day! whats the chances that LTSB will go back on thier word and say s0d it, we won last week, lets take em all to court...?

Your half way there...!??!?!?!!!!

Well, not a peep from LTSB, so I think as soon as my charges are refunded (like tomorrow - yippee!) I will be putting in my boyfs claim. LTSB - Here We Come!!!!

EXCELLENT!!! At least you didnt have to wait and wait

Keep up hope!!! There IS light at the end of the tunnel!!! I am now helping THREE people at work now start thier claims against thier respective banks! Hopfully those three will help another three help another three etc!!!!

You should do CAG tshirts and sell em so we all know who is part of the picnic! Im interested!

((((Hugs)))) To Pondy ((((Hugs)))) to Pen - Im going to keep watching and chering you on

Thanks to Barty, GaryH, GuidoT and Pen for all your lovely help and kind words and support! Your all top :D:D:D

PEN! PEN!! TAKE HEART!!!! I WON!!! I will keep subscibed to your thread though and fingers crossed. If you go to court, as many of us should come to, to offer support!!!!

SWEET!!!!!! Boyfriend got in and opened a private and confidential letter - its from SCM... I WON - YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! You must be my lucky charm! You should go on everyones page and say the magic words

I wasnt having a go at anyone! Just rambling! I'll give derby court a ring... (hugs - its awful isnt it when bank charges invade your dreams, hopefully yours wasnt as bad as mine - i only got 1p!)

Well people, more musings, feel free to offer suggestions or just ignore me like usual. After LTSB result I have been reading with interest what people have to say and in particular rbears intersting sticky post. It seems like it would be a good idea to get copies of the T&Cs that were applied to ones account at the times of the offences and put them in the court bundle. My question, should anyone be nice enough to consider and answer, is what if youve already sent in your bundle and its past the cut off date. Can you send copies in and ask for them to be attached? or is it toooooo late?

What happens if you alreay sent your bundle in? i sent mine in april, (LTSB didnt of course) is it ok to send in a copy of the T&C's that rbears linked and asked for it to be appended?

Hi Pen Found your thread, i'll keep watching as your court date is before me Like i said in my thread, its very frustrating isnt it seeing others getting settled at earlier stages and quicker. I could SO do with the moeny now - but on a more optimistic note - I think of it as a high interest savings account!!!

Mines a little different to yours. I sent in my AQ and got a court date (12th june) and on the same letter as the court date, i was ordered to send in all my evidence within 28 days. Then LTSB had to send in thiers within 28 days - surprise surprise they didnt (I should have got it 23rd April). I sent the GaryH letter and heard nothing from anyone. Just waiting til the 12th June now... Im like you, its a little frustrating to see people getting paid out at LBA stage, MCOL stage, AQ stage, after GaryH's letter... I think that SCM have sussed out which cases we are by coming on here, and as punishment are making us wait!!! Face. Bothered? Well, yes, but remember, for each day that passes, we are earning mega interest, thats what keeps me going!!!!
