Lula v abbey (2) ** WON **

[Lula]

LOL Frenchy, I think I will let him know that I have received no "Good Will" payments from Abbey and I would like him to settle my claim for the full amount also I think i am going to ask him to point me in the direction of the legislation that says that prior to November 2006, my claim is statute barred.

[srfrench]

Ha ha...... nice one. That should do it and put the little pipsqueak in his place....... right at the bottom!

 

Was their letter "Without Prejudice"?

[Lula]

unfortunately yes and equally unfortunately he didn't mention it in the defence that he has submitted to the court, otherwise I think I would have had grounds to have it struck out

 

did you get the mp3's that I sent you

[srfrench]

Ah well no worries. Just reply with the same "Without Prejudice" and just concentrate on their defence.

 

I've yet to receive a copy of their defence, but the claim will go ahead anyway as its all the same. I'll probably pick up a copy from the Court.

 

Yes I did get all the MP3's (there were rather a lot ) but I haven't had the opportunity to really listen to any of them until I finish building my new project (Linux Supercomputer as I've not got a sound driver replacement for my laptop yet) Thanks anyway.

 

Just seems like I've been a hermit this ast fortnight!

My response (carried on my post) to their "Without Prejudice" offer with their copy of defence is going off tomorrow, and I`m not heading it "Without Prejudice", does this mean I can`t use my letter in my court bundle as it refers to their "Without Prejudice" letter? or does this not matter??

[srfrench]

If its in reply to a Without Prejudice letter then unfortunately no. However, if you were to argue on costs or otherwise, you can ask the Court's permission to disclose, but only if it is given.

 

Sorry to bear news you probably didn't want to hear.

Not what I wanted to hear, but was actually what I was expecting to hear, still, I guess that also takes away Abbey`s ability to argue that they have tried to negotiate a settlement given that it was their letter sent "Without Prejudice":)

[srfrench]

Yes that's correct. However, the same applies to them if they were to argue costs (which they never do!... wonder why?) then they could show with the Court's permission those letters as an attempt to settle.

 

No worries though guaranteed.

Firstly, WELL DONE!!!!!!!

 

Secondly, HOW?? I see no court dates in your thread, have they been in contact with you agreeing to settle? Have you received your money??

 

My only reason for asking, not wanting to put a dampner on your celebration, was that I had a very lengthy discussion with the said James Arrundell who said that they wanted to settle with me before Christmas, and to date I have not received a Penny from them so am continuing action against them (AQ filed last week) and my timescales are very simular to yours.

Hopefully you have agreed settlement and received payment, but if not, don`t change the thread yet as the Shabby have developed another Habbit .

[Lula]

No, I havnt received payment yet as it was only agreed today, he knows that I wont be cancelling the court action until I have received cleared funds, if he said he wanted to settle and hasnt then call him, he has been away until yesterday, so might have been expecting it to happen whilst he was away, I am not turning into an apologist for the Abbey but he seems to be a reasonable type of chap, so give it a go

[Lula]

p.s, it hasnt got to the court date stage, we have only just filed AQ's. Sometimes, its just better to give them a call and ask if they would like to settle without incurring further costs for themselves by putting you to the trouble of putting together a court bundle

[Lula]

I would add that he did try and smaltz me by saying that litigants in the SCC could not claim expenses, I soon put him right though

[bp]

congrats lula well done you. i'll give Ingra a call tomorrow to see if they'll give cave in. (they returned their AQ in on 28 Dec)

[Lula]

thanks Karne, I willlet the heat die down a bit and then start on number 3

[livelylad]

Congratulations Lula

Would you recommend I try this Lula? My AQ was filed before the deadline of the 27th and I telephoned the court Tuesday and Abbey got theirs in in time aswell, so I guess I am now waiting for a date:eek:

[Kerrie78]

Sorry, forgot to say Congrats to you. Well done again.

[lknox]

Well done Lula, and sorry to hijack - but do you have a contact tel.no for whoever is dealing with claims at Abbey?

Cheers

[Lula]

Hi everyone and thanks for your good wishes, the contact number is 020 775 64306, its worth a go trying to negotiate but I woud make it clear that if they don't come up with a figure that you like then just say that you are quite happy to submit the court bundles and that this will incur more charges for Abbey, don't let them tell you that you are not entitled to claim your time and expenses because you are.

[theyvbinrobinme]

****Congratulations Lula!**** and good luck with Claim No 3...

[grumpy guts]

don't let them tell you that you are not entitled to claim your time and expenses because you are.

 

Are you?? I understood you weren't. Would you point me to where this is stated please Lula.

 

I've a date for the end of the month.

[grumpy guts]

Ignore me Lula. Just did a quick search and found it.

 

Well done, by the way.
