Issued summons and warrant against Barclays Mortgage Service, Leicester

[misterpinkwhistle]

I have issued a County Court Summons against Barclays Mortgage Service, PO Box 8575.

 

As they failed to respond

 

 

I have entered judgement against them and a warrant for full payment was attempted to be issued by the bailiff,

 

 

because we only have a PO Box address the bailiff is unable to execute the warrant.

 

Does anyone know the real address for this office in Leicester ?

You could try phoning them and asking them. No, seriously.

 

Or you could try reverse #po box look-up. although there are fees: http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7623089_locate-post-office-box-address.html

 

Or you could just contact their legal dept in London and mention the claim to them.

I would have thought that you should have issued the claim to their Registered office : 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP. ?

 

Do you have any of their letters which gives either the address above or another proper postal address for them ?

[misterpinkwhistle]

Thank you for your post. We have been calling them for months and the only address they give is the PO Box NO. I will try the reverse PO box look up.

Do you know if they received the original claim form ? It sounds as though you obtained a Judgment by default and the chances are they will very likely make an attempt to get any judgment set aside once they are fully aware of it.

Barclays were well aware a County Court claim was being started

because I asked them for the address for service which they gave as the PO Box address.

 

The Court in Leicester are now sending me a form to allow the warrant to be reissued at

either the address in Leicester if it can be found or the Head office in London.

 

Barclays are aware of the warrant but still refuse to give their real address,

 

 

thank you for your interest.

This is where I got the address above from.

[misterpinkwhistle]

The summons was issued, they did not reply within the 14 days, I left it a further 3 weeks and contacted the court, judgement was entered and an immediate payment within 2 days was issued by the court this was also ignored . A warrant was issued but the bailiff was unable to serve because of the PO Box address and was unable to find the real address.

[misterpinkwhistle]

Yes that is the address which they gave and the address which is on the summons and warrant.

Hi Mr PW,

 

I'd be concerned about the actual name you used to sue them. Please confirm what name you put on the N1 form.

 

The London HQ address is nearly always the one to use.

 

Can you tell us if you sued for mortgage penalty charges, or something else.

it was for legal fees, I am a freeholder and the leaseholder failed to pay for repair works at the property, insurance and ground rent totalling over £2000.00. A land registry search revealed the leaseholders lender was Barclays. They were contacted by phone. post and email on multiple occasions over six months. Eventually they said I would have to use a solicitor to recover the money owing and that they would pay the legal fees. A solicitor managed to recover the whole amount due but not including the legal fees. when I presented the solicitors invoice to Barclays they refused to make promised payment. I contacted the Chairman of Barclays by post explaining what they had agreed but to no avail. I then started a county Court Claim which was sent to the address they advised could be used for service of documents, the Head office of the Mortgage Department Leicester was the address on the summons, the immediate payment request from the court and the warrant.

Hi Mr P and thanks for the further info.

 

The quickest way forward may be to write to Barclays Litigation Team at the London HQ address - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?208-Email-or-contact-details-for-Barclays

 

Enclose a copy of the court judgement and tell them you require immediate payment or Enforcement action will be taken without further warning.

 

See how they respond.

 

Did the Land Registry entry show the full name of the leaseholders lender and, if so, what exact name.

The Leicester County Court are sending me a form to allow the Warrant to be redirected. If I am unable to find the real address in Leicester then I will have to pay a fee to change the warrant address to the Head office in London and the Bailiff will then execute the warrant there. All the fees are added to the warrant.

Barclays are named as the lender on the land registry and have accepted it is their customer. The court have already asked for an immediate payment to be received within 2 days which was ignored and that was why an additional fee was paid and the Bailiff instructed. I have been tweeting them today for the real address but they refuse to give it !!!

Hi Mr PW,

 

I've been looking around for a definitive answer to the name of the body you should have sued.

 

Have a look at the foot of this Woolwich page, which is current - https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.woolwich.co.uk%2F&ei=BITGVOHjKMKa7gb604CYCQ&usg=AFQjCNE3JsZhSfYqrShzbM71k8n9KI6ucg&sig2=rlbCBnOecULh4Dv3XlYYSw

 

'The Woolwich' and 'Woolwich' are trademarks and trading names of Barclays Bank PLC.

 

Accordingly, I would have named the Defendant as :-

 

Barclays Bank PLC t/a Woolwich

1 Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

I am not at all surprised that they are not helping you. After all, you're suing them !!
