thanks mairi,

 

how long does it take for the court to sort out the papers and send me out a letter telling me when the hearing date is.

 

did the bank of scotland just pay straight into your account or did you receive a letter.

Hi Dawnb,

Letter from court should take around 7 days.

bank put money in account 11 days before return date and i received the letter the day after.

[Dawnb]

They are asking me to write to the court and tell them the claim is settled and that they will do the same. Can anyone please help me. is this the final or do i accept the money but let them know that i want the rest. if i let them know i want the rest how do i go about it.

:-DCONGRATULATIONS:D

I just wrote a short note to the court with sm cl number sayng

 

 

"With regards to the Summons lodged by myself v Bank of Scotland, I wish for the action to be dismissed as the matter has been settled in full by the bank when they refunded the amount of the claim to myself on 8/8/06."

 

 

Sent another lba to bank

 

 

"Thank you for refunding my charges from small claim number SA 123/45. I have contacted the court to dismiss proceedings.

I am enclosing a revised copy of all the other charges, totaling £1234 that you have imposed on my account in the past 5 years and will give another 7 days to respond positively to my demand to repay all unlawful charges to my account.

Without further notice if I don’t hear a response or if you don’t respond positively then I will commence proceedings in the Scottish Small Claims Court on the "insert date."

Yours sincerely"

Hope this helps Dawn.

Hi Dawn,

 

Have they offered you the full amount you are claiming? If so then it's the end and accept and settle.

If however it's not the full amount, you can just write back and say you are not prepared to settle for anythig except the fullamount. Don't write to the court and cancel the claim if you haven't got all the money you are claiming.

hi Carlyt123,

this is a scottish small claim, the first of 2 or 3. Claim no1 is settled, now she's after the rest.LOL

Oh Sorry Mairi, I didn't realise. You poor things, can't believe how many time you have to do it all!

 

Good luck:)

[Dawnb]

thanks guys,

 

i have not received my full settlement from acc no one they still owe over 2g so as you know that i am not the brightest, what letter will i send,

 

you's are the bestest

[gargoil]

If your going to continue to claim in Scotland I think the best idea is to now wait till funds clear from this claim and then send an LBA referring to your earlier claim (so they know your serious!) giving them 7 days to give you the rest of the money owed. Then in 7 days if they haven't complied then just do what you've just done at court all over again! Thats my plan though I may go through English system for rest of my money!

 

PS Well done!!

 

[Dawnb]

NIGHTMARE,

 

i thought that i would have a purse full of money this weekend but when checking the bank i have £42.50 left out of the over £800.00, they have paid off my overdraft (£300.0) fair enough, but they have transferred £500.00 to another account my account number 2 with them, can they transfer money without my consent or does anyone know how i can get my £500.00 back.

[paulwlton]

I beleive they can transfer funds between accounts, and it as happened before, it's been brought up in different threads.

[Dawnb]

thanks paul so i will always be skint

[paulwlton]

Yes, join the club, i've been strugling to pay the court fees etc, now the car radiators blown, can't wait for a court date.

[Dawnb]

hi guys,

 

long time no hear i haven't been on the site for ages, i have been really busy and have been totally pratted so i could not take the banks to court for the time being until i had cash again, that was until today, i read that if you were unemployed then you could be exempt from paying the 39.00 court fees so i phoned the court and asked and they confirmed that if you were unemployed then you were exempt.

 

i am so happy that i can now proceed with the rest and carry on from where i finished, i will be at court tomorrow morning and there is a form i fill in when i go down. so anyone out there struggling for cash just now this might help them.

 

Can anyone please advise me i have 3 account with BOS and 2 with RBS is it safe to fill out papers for BOS and RBS together or will they class this as one claim and i will loose out on the small claims also would it effect me if i went for 3 accounts.

 

Thanks

D

[Dawnb]

i went down to the court today and filed my next installment only this time i filed a claim against the rbs aswell as the bos.

 

i hope that all goes well and that i have a nice wee earner for xmas (not likely) but would be nice

[Dawnb]

hiya guys

 

i need some advice quickly please, i have received a letter from MR Tommy McLean this morning offering me the sum of $825.00 in full settlement. There is a piece of paper that i sign and post away in a prepaid envelope.

 

The thing is the RBS owe me over 3Grand in this account. Do i write them a letter acepting the $825.00 because i am desperate for the cash with it being near xmas and let them know that i am going for the total or what do i do because i do not want to loose out on this.

 

If i accept the £825.00 is this all i will get or will i get the rest and also if i do let them know that i will be going for the total amount do they not give me the $825.00 and i have to hold on until court or what.

 

a very anxious

Dawn

[pollyjohnson]

Accept as partial payment and persue them for the rest

see jonnibads template leter

[Dawnb]

thanks for the reply Polly, that is exactly what i have done,do you know if i will receive the amount that they offered or will they hold it because i am going for the total

[pollyjohnson]

I doubt if they will send you the partial amount. You will have to wait for the full amount. hang in there

[Dawnb]

thanks polly, i hope i don't have that long to wait, have you any ideas? i filed a small claims against the RBS for the same account yesterday so mr mclean will no have received that yet, do you think that when he receives that he will realise i mean business and pay out at least something

[Dawnb]

Hi guys,

 

Just giving you all a wee update on my ongoing sagas well, i thought that i would have heard from the RBS regarding my e-mail and letter that i posted on Tuesday regarding my offer of part payment.

 

I also received my date for court for the 2 banks, the cases are held on the same day the return date is 12th January 2007 and the calling date is the 17th January 2007, i was really really hoping for a wee something for xmas but a doubt that i will just have too wait until January. Okt well at least i know when my court date is.

[Dawnb]

hiya,

 

another wee update, I e-mailed Tommy McLean today just asking if he had received my e-mail and letter by post ok that i sent last week. He kindly took the time to answer my e-mail and tell me that he did receive it last week and that that days e-mails are being ealt with today. I hope that i receive an answer before the end of the week. What do you all think,
