Trapper Dave v. Barclays Bank

[Trapper Dave]

Ah, my mistake. I thought they were going to hear it there if at all.

[Trapper Dave]

So I've just checked on MCOL, and it says that Barclay's Acknowledged my claim today and they have 28 days from the date from when they are served with the claim to reply.

 

Does this mean that we (as in me and Barclays) to resolve the issue before it gets issued with a court date?

[Welshman]

There's nothing for you to do now (apart from planning to prepare your court bundle) except wait until they defend, and the AQ and a copy of their defence is sent to you. This will need to be sent back to your local Court, the details of which will be on the literature they send you.

[Trapper Dave]

Yesterday I received "Notice that Acknowledgment of Service has been filed".

 

On the attached page, I have a Acknowledgment of Service form, where it stated that Barclays "intedn to defend all of this claim" and it's been signed for by a solicitor.

 

Is this standard or is it a possibility that they might actually try and defend in court?

[Falcom]

There is always the possibility they may try to defend it in court - its very unlikely and what you got today is standard.

I've checked my Money Claim and it's still as "Acknowledged" what does this mean and what sort of stage of my claim am I in?

 

The twenty-eight days expire on the 16th, but is this over-ruled by the fact that I've already received a "Notice that Acknowledgment of Service has been filed"?

 

I'm oh so confused.

[Trapper Dave]

I've just checked on Money Claim and it's now changed the status to "Defence" with the message: Defence

You are unable to take any further action online on this claim.

 

The Defendant disputes the whole amount you have claimed. Your claim cannot proceed online and will be transferred to the appropriate court for continuation. You will receive confirmation to where the claim has been transferred to shortly."

 

Can I assumer that this is still standard?

[Michael Browne]

Can I assumer that this is still standard?

Yes, you'll receive their defence and an AQ from your local court

[Trapper Dave]

I've received it, and sent it back but the final return date was a Sunday, and I don't think it got there until the Monday or Tuesday, but I've still not heard anything.

 

I'm guessing that I should have heard from the court by now for either eventuality, but I've not heard a thing.

[Trapper Dave]

I finally chased it up and it's with a Judge at the moment and may take two weeks for me to hear anything. What does it mean if it's with a Judge at this stage? I've got my court bundle ready but it's not been asked for.

[Trapper Dave]

Got a court date today; 13th June 2007 - I hope that that isn't an omen of sorts. What should I expect now? I've got my court bundle already to go; what will happen with that?

 

Fear has just hit me with the realisation of this.

[Trapper Dave]

So I received all of the paperwork this morning (31/03/2007) telling me that I had to send paperwork to Barclays and the Court by 4pm (30/03/2007). I'm going to send it today, but I'm not sure of the format that I'm meant to use. I've got to send my list of charges. Could someone please, please help me out?
