Hi All

 

After another long wait I finally got a court date today for the 22nd February. Hooray!

 

A couple of things I noticed apart from the usual stuff:

 

"The case will be listed with all other outstanding claims for bank charges etc..."

 

and

 

"It is probable that the judge will deal with cases in batches where there is more than one case against a particular defendant"

 

Is that normal?

It's becoming more common. The courts are snowed under with these claims!

Thanks, but what does it mean? Will I end up in court with a load of fellow claimants at the same time?

[Michael Browne]

In theory, yes. In practice it will probably mean a load of fellow claimants will have their claims settled out of court at the same time

Hi derek,

my AQ went back to the court on the 9th October , but i have heard nothing yet. Based on your timing i guess i might get a court date set pretty soon.

I have faxed three letters to SC&M but had no response re settling the claim...surprise surprise

I'll keep watching your thread to see how your getting on.

Lloyds seem to be settling quite a few claims of late and I think the main thing is to keep the pressure on. I now belive that they have so many claims going on that they are sending out letters in bundles like a production line, all saying the same thing,,,And I also think that they are saying the same things "off Pat" over the telephone.... So I would just keep faxing and phoning.......I know that once the recomendation was not to phone but I think that it keeps the pressure on ! All this is my own personal feelings of course.

good luck

Thanks FB,

i will be faxing another letter tomorrow and will start to folow these up with phone calls. I guess being a pain in the ass might hurry them up

Thanks, I also thought the advice was not to phone them but with a court date now set I hardly think it's looking "desperate"! I'll give it a go...

[DerekW]

Well I was just about to pick up the phone.... then a letter dropped through the door... FULL SETTLEMENT OFFERED!

 

I don't actually object to the terms, except the confidentiality one which I will cross out when I reply, can anyone tell me why they can't impose that?

 

Cheers!

Hi Derek,

result!!! well done and congratulations, a long hard slug but worth it in the end.

 

I had a settlement offer yesterday with conditions. I will accept the offer but reject the conditions. I need to go for round two with them!

[BARTY]

Congratulations Derek!!! :D

Barty:)

[Myphisto]

Congrats Derek.

[DerekW]

Thanks everyone!

 

I have signed the agreement and am sending it back now, to be honest I really can't be bothered to fight over their conditions, in my case where I only had to sue one bank it really isn't worth it.

 

So to avoid any possible conflict I will keep my gob shut about the details, but suffice it to say "Job Done"!

 

Would a mod please move my thread to the "WON" thread or whatever it's called - and rest assured I will be donating to this site as soon as the dosh turns up

 

Thanks again to everyone on this site and good luck to all!!
