sorry to hear that, although from the conversation I had with SC+M I got the impression that they were going to pay into my account on Weds, 2 days before. Going on that timescale maybe they will be able to tell you something on Thurs? Have you received a court bundle from them?

I've also got a question for Michael Browne, who provided me with that fantastic on-line calculator. I've tried to put some figures in up to 31st Dec 06 so I can check myself how much 8% interest will be so that I don't accept a cheque for the wrong amount but the link - on Understanding Excel doesn't seem to be working anymore. Could you post another link to the on-line calculator - maybe one that works up to dates in 2007? Don't worry if that's not possible, I just didn't want to get all cock-a-hoop and stop checking all my info, but they have said they will settle and, bizarely, I trust them!

christinajanep,

just logged onto your thread to see if you'd heard anything yet and got very confused?! here you say your court date is Mon yet on your thread you said you'd received your bundle but the hearing is in April.........? Sorry if I'm being stupid - have you heard anything from them yet? I won't be able to find out if they have faxed the info promised until I get home tonight so it's not quite over for me yet either. They will pay up. And if it has been postponed until April - just think of all that extra interest it'll cost em - in fact, that may be a way to get them to settle sooner......... Let me know how you get on

You sound v determined! And brave. I was ready to go to court, thought that if / when I have to go they wouldn't turn up so I'd win by default - never really expected to have to give evidence to a Judge but, to be honest, am glad they've said they'll settle. You sound like you want to go to court, and that you want them to turn up as well!

Hopefully you're scheduled for the afternoon? As I bet your cheque / letter will arrive in the post on Monday morning!

[christinajanep]

i'm due at 3.00pm,as for wanting to attend court, if needs be then i'll go, lloyds updates its systems on sunday night for monday morning so if its not in the account by then, then'll i'll be there

[cococat]

I'll be thinking of you! You can't lose, as long as you've done everything as directed on this site that money is yours

Just checked your thread again - it is 'Bad head and getting worse' isn't it? 29th Nov there's an entry saying that the court date isn't due till April - after Lloyds had asked for a month extra...... Keep me posted x

[christinajanep]

that was at my local court but because the judge didnt think it was worth waiting he transfered it to nuneaton for a earlier date.. this being 15th jan

[cococat]

That makes more sense! Frustrating though this is, you're benefiting in the end from the extra interest! There is always something positive I guess.......

[christinajanep]

they paid up yesterday cococat, paid the money straight into my bank account

[cococat]

YAHOOOOO! Why couldn't they tell you that..............? Idiots!

Went to tell the court that I'd received a fax of my cheque but the clerk advised me to turn up tomorrow anyway. If I had the cheque then I could tell the Judge that I was waiting for it to clear - if I don't have the cheque by tomorrow morning then the matter isn't resoved and the hearing goes ahead............

Faxed SC+M to tell them this - leaving everything to the last minute might backfire on them here. If I don't have my cheque, or the Judge believes that an uncleared cheque doesn't = settlement then they have to turn up in court or accept the Court's judgement.................As I said, idiots!

[cococat]

I actually got to the court waiting room! I'd signed in and sat down when my husband texted to say the cheque had arrived! I told the usher who went to see the Judge. Judge said I didn't need my hearing after all as the matter was now resolved and I left.......... Talk about close!!
