Lee vs HSBC

[LeeS80]

Not heard a dickiebird from these guys, is this usual? Is the 28 days calendar or working days?

[givememymoney]

It is calendar days not working days. Have you had notification that they are going to defend?

[LeeS80]

Hi, yep - they intend to defend, acknowledged claim on 27/2

[givememymoney]

Have you had your AQ paperwork? I assume that you will be handing in your AQ next week. The likelyhood is that DG will fail to submit theirs on time and will get a two week extension from the district judge.

[LeeS80]

Nope, not a thing, nothing from courts except a notice that Acknowledgement of Service has been filed. Nothing from the bank either. I sent a copy of my schedule of charges to both the court and banks sols.

[givememymoney]

Seems like you should give the court a ring on monday

[LeeS80]

Will do - thought is was a bit strange to not hear anything! I'll wait until the post has been delivered before I call.

mcol filed 25/2 - we assume served on day 5 - 2/3 + 28 days = 30/3

you have the ackno where they "intend" to defend. you won't hear anything from the court until after they actually defend - which will be probably 30/3 then you'll get aq paperwork - and two weeks to get it back in. intend to defend just bought them the extra 14 days - 28 not up until abour 30 mar.

 

i wouldn't have e xpected you to hear anything at this point - think the boy is scanning a little too fast - think you are saying it's been defended when it hasn't yet.

[LeeS80]

Cheers laterlus, I'll wait until nearer the end of the week. CapitalOne paid my credit card without evening letting me know! Good result though!

[lateralus]

everybody seems faster than hsbc these days!

[LeeS80]

They ack'd my claim on 27/2 - do they still get the default 5 days to be added to the 28?

[lateralus]

yes, i think they do - but you can try to press the judgment button after 28 from the ackn. and see what happens - if it's too early it won't let you press and if they file a defense - it will say you can't continue with the mcol and will shortly receive court paperwork including the aq.

[LeeS80]

Checked my MCOL account yesterday and tried to click "Judgement" but wouldn't allow it. Checked again today and the status is "Defence 26/02/07" - something not quite right there as I didn't file the claim until 26/02!! lol. Just waiting to hear now, suppose I will get AQ in the post this week.......

[lateralus]

i think they boobed - i think it would be 26/3 but in any case yes, i think they have defended and you'll get the paperwork in 2-3 days with a copy of their defence, a transfer to local court and an aq. check the aq deadline. there's lots of help for filling it in on here - or get back and we can point it out - my advice is not to file until closer to the deadline.

 

wouldn't hurt to ring dg and ask if your breakdown has been received.

[LeeS80]

Cheers - I'll ring them tomorrow when I get home from work. Would be nice to get the cheque before end of April, going to Vancouver

[LeeS80]

Hi All - quick update.

 

I've heard nothing from DG or the courts since my last posting on here. I've done some reading up (been away a lot) and have realised that lots of others aren't getting AQ's etc.

 

I sent my first nudge letter to DG last week, do you guys think 10 days is acceptable? Looking through the threads, there are people who begun to claim after I did getting settled out before me! They really are muppets at DG.

[pinkduchess]

did you make it to Vancouver?

 

nudge every 10 -14 days

 

whats the situation with the court? - update needed

[LeeS80]

Hi Pink,

 

Yep I got to Vancouver, fantastic place, also managed to visit vegas too. Need my claim settled so I can go back! lol.

 

Nothing from the court, only prelim paperwork when initial case was filed. I'm working from home tomorrow so can chase them up properly.
