Kingchris vs HSBC

[kingchris]

Hi,

 

I'm interested in working out the probable timescales for my claim.

 

Money Claim ISSUED: 29 Sep

 

HSBC Acknowledged : 3 Oct

 

By my workings that gives them untill 2nd November to Submit Defence or I can get a judgment.

 

But my question is did anyone else file around these dates and if so where are you at?

 

Or is there any tips for speeding the process up?

 

Thanks!

Not really chris - I issued on the 18th September and just as the 28 days is about to expire - I get a letter request a breakdown of the charges - I tried to speed things up by sending a breakdown of charges to the court, but this did me no good!

 

You could at a pinch drop them a letter saying that note note that they have acknowlaged the calim and here is the breakdown of charges...

Thanks for the advice,

Faxed them the list of charges, might also send it recorded tommorrow then I can be 100% sure they have a copy and won't try the delaying trick for an extra couple of days.

 

The wait is getting to me now

 

Anyone else filed around the same date as me heard anything yet?

Recived a full offer from D&G last week, returned the settlement letter to them attached to a letter requesting cheque only.

 

Recive a letter today informing me the agreed sum will be credited in the next 7 days.

 

I've tried this morning to ring them but there is no-one answering the phone straight to voice mail.

 

Has anyone else who has recived a cheque, got this response letter?

Is it D&G Solicitors you're trying to get in touch with? It was always on answer phone when I tried to ring them too. In the end, I got the number for HSBC at the Arlington Business Centre and rang them direct.

 

But in my case, I waited so long for them to send a cheque (and they always said it was in the post!), that I agreed to let them put it in my account. About a week after this, the cheque arrived!! What a surprise!
