going to court??

[Harry the hamster]

Cant remember what ive read and where but has Lloyds actually taken anyone to court?

I am working on the basis that my case could end up in the small claims court but was wondering if anybody managed to get that far yet?

Well, for starters, they are not taking you to court, YOU are taking THEM to court.

 

If you mean, has Lloyds ever defended, the answer is no. Like all others, they say they will, and huff and puff, and ... settle.

 

Having said that, you are absolutely right in your approach. I have had 3 settled claims, have another 2 on the burn now, and I treat every single one as if it was the one that will end up in front of a judge, however improbable (one is for £65 all in, I'm in Croydon and the solictor in Cheshire...)

 

For everyone who reads this post, I'll say it again:

 

WE CAN NEVER AFFORD TO BE COMPLACENT.

I've just received acknowledge ment of servicedated 13/09 Lloyds have responded with intent to defend all of the claim, I am, like you gonna treat it as if I was going to end up getting dressed up and going to court! Hopefully they will cave in beforehand but they have 28days to file their defence so i've got my fingers and toes crossed at the mo!

 

Bookworm........ I want to add my claim onto litigation but it says to PM a mod but when I try all their meassages are full so I can't send my dets, can you take it from the forum????

 

Thanks Donna xx

Harry,

 

You may be interested in my thread, located in the Scotland Section entitled 'Court Hearing, Thursday 14th September.'

 

Whilst we did go to Court, we were advised by a solicitor not to, as our claim had essentially been adressed.

 

I suspect if Lloyds do say they will defend the claim, there defence will be identicle to the one I posted.
