Bookworm v Barclays - **SUCCESS**

[Alleycat]

Hey, at least you guys have got court dates! I'm still stuck in no mans land waiting to hear back from the judge as to whether this stay can be lifted.

 

Anyway, good luck to all and hopefully a settlement will be forthcoming soon!

[Carl Stevens]

I have got a court date of 8th September and have handed my documents into the court and to barclays but have received no documents in return which they are relying on, is it one rule for one and one for another or will they only be able to speak and refer to my documents if need be

[give_me_it_back]

Good luck! I got my court date too... but ... I can't make it! I'm not even in the country! What should I do?

Hi,

From submitting your AQ how long do you think you waited for a court date. I se the money has now left my account so hope to hear soon.

how long do you think you waited for a court date

 

From an earlier post on my thread:

 

defence received today with AQ to be returned by 26/07.

 

And I handed it on the 26th on the dot, and got letter with court date on the 15th August, so what...3 weeks for to to get processed? Then again, it will differ from court to court, I suppose.

 

I can't make it! I'm not even in the country! What should I do?

 

Contact the court ASAP and tell them.

Contact the court to see if they have received anything, and what is the procedure if they haven't. Either way, let them know YOU haven't, even though the judge had ordered that you should get a copy as well, as it will not sit well with him that the solicitors didn't obey his orders. No point in playing nice when you can fight dirty.

Re I can't make it! I'm not even in the country! What should I do?

 

Thanks Bookworm. I called the court yesterday when I had been given the 1st date, and they basically said "shame. Ask someone to come in your place"! But, when the 2nd arrived today for the SAME DATE, I tried again... They are calling me tomorrow.. I hope they change it. They kind of gave me the impression that they don't....

[omollmeg]

Thanks for that info Bookworm!!

Hi Bookworm (me again, sorry)

 

I noticed that the Judge in your case ordered disclosure. Following your advice in my thread I also requested disclosure when returning my AQ.

 

I've now received a letter from court saying,

 

with reference to the claimant's allocation questionnaire, Part 31 blah blah blah disclosure does not apply in the Small Claims Track.

The Court therefore is unlikely to order standard disclosure.

However, if there are any particular documents or class of documents that the claimant requires then consideration can be given to such a request.

A response is required by 4pm on 12 September 2006 following which directions generally will be given.

Did you list which documents you wanted to see in your disclosure, do you know what documents I need to request?

 

Any good advice from the vast vaults of the Bookworm mind?

Bookworm

 

Im putting together my bundle of evidence and the only thing I cant find is something good about the two case

 

Dunlop tyres and Macalpine.

 

Theres lots on the internet but its all writtren by law firms who have their own agendas. Do you know where I can get a document with just the decision and details with no opinions that I can use as evidence.

 

FYI Mr Jerimiah is on his hols until the 11th Sept so whats the chance of him submitting his evidence by the 12th

 

nil

 

Good health

[rogerebaker]

I took my bundle of documents by hand to Barclays E14 address just to make sure it got there

 

If you want to know where all the charges go look no further. The place is massive and the word plush dosnt do it justice.

 

About 6000 people work their according to one of the many security guards.

 

Nice to see where the money goes

[squishy]

Lobster, you're very lucky! It took nearly 4 weeks for me to get my date back for Shrewsbury and it's not until mid-December and I have to submit my bundle the day after you do!!!!! grrrrr

[Guest lobster]

hi squishy dont know why mine early i will pm you

 

soz bookworm for hijacking

[Bookworm]

Well, this is it. Bundle of docs done, being numbered and indexed tonight, posting copy to KJ tomorrow and handing over copy to court.

 

Anyone wants to place bets on the settlement date?

[barracad]

Anyone wants to place bets on the settlement date?

 

1st November, 4pm

[knightreplica]

i have the small claims book, which explains the mechanics of going to court, and i think i have evidence sorted, however how do u put the information in front of the judge without looking a prat, and how do u remember everything

[Lizzy]

How are you feeling Bookworm ???? are the nerves holding out ?

 

If they do push it to 1st Nov at 4pm as Barracad says I think you should sue for booking the day off work..............

 

What usually happens now, do they just put the funds into your account or send a letter in the nick of time ???

[Bookworm]

Nice idea, Lizzy, but I'm a stay-at-home mum...

 

Nerves are fine. If we make it in court, it will be the second time in 1 month, it's going to be like a bl**dy home from home soon!!!

 

As for what they do, I don't know, this is my first time with Barclays! There's a thought, I'd better check my bank account 1st thing Thursday am, just in case!

[rogerebaker]

Youll get a phone call Monday or Tuesday next week

[caro]

I hope Barclays know what they are letting themselves in for taking you on BW!

 

Have they heard your battle cry? How does it go?

 

IT'S MAAAAAAAAAHH MONEY!!!!!!

[Thailand]

I'm sure you have nerves of steel B/W, but if you were to turn up in your Venice regalia, it would knock them off balance!

[knightreplica]

bookworm, can u tell me what u will say to the judge should u have to defend, and what r u using for evidence and how will u make your point?

 

cheers

[Bookworm]

Sorry, but no, not until AFTER the hearing

 

And incidentally, *I* am not defending, THEY are.

[s.opare]

BW go get them and please take no prisoners, I know they will not come to court to defend. Good luck we are all behind you.

 

Sam

[Mrgreengenes]

Good luck BW, not that you need it.

 

Here's another collective term for a wunch of bankers.
