Court date set to hear case to lift Stay..??

[urbankato]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone could give some advice or tell me about a similar situation that's happened to them...

 

After going through the whole process of reclaiming my charges and then being told that i would have to wait until the 'Test' case i decided to appeal against the stay that was granted by the court in question.

 

I (with the help of a friend going through the same thing and some templates from consumer action group web site) put together a very good argument as to why the seemingly automatic decision that was made to stay my case was wrong.

 

I've now received a letter from the court saying that they have offered me a 30 minute hearing to decide whether or not the stay should be lifted..

 

To be honest, i thought the court would make a decision about this without a hearing and then get back to me with a yes or no answer so this has thrown me a bit.. can anyone offer any advice on the best way to act now or describe a similar situation so that i know roughly what might happen?

 

BTW This is relating to a claim against HSBC which is why I've posted this in this section..

 

Thanks.

I suppose the obvious question's are in anybody's experience is this hearing taken seriously by the banks? are they likely to even turn up or has anyone had a settlement before or just after this hearing (depending on whether the court ruled in the defendants favour or not).

 

I realise everyone's case is different but any insight would be appreciated

So far and Pete will correct me if I am wrong, we have had shows at all of these hearings, mainly in person whilst mine was via telephone. The banks come prepared with their usual rubbish and it has been down to us to try to sway the judge...most have failed, but I managed an adjornment, but that is as good as a fail really. The court test case is just over a month away and most judge's are not very interested in taking a stance and merely fobbing us off with "wait and see what happens next..."

Thanks for the reply Penfold, it's not sounding very promising then but i shall give it a good go!

[Penfold92]

best to try and make them spend some money defending something!!!!

Hiya Urban, as penfold says most of us have not succeeded in having the stays lifted but I think the experience of attending court alone is worth it. .

 

good luck

I guess you could write and request a telephone hearing, however, I would have preferred a face to face one...Is it not at your local court anyway?

 

Thanks,
