Mr Penguin Vs HSBC Bank Plc ***WON***

[mrpenguin]

Just wanted to make a quick post as when I got home just now there was a letter from DG on the mat.....It was a settlement in full for the amount I have claimed for!

 

I have some questions about the wording on the acceptance etc and what, if at all, I should alter so as not to bugger myself up if I spread the good news about my victory!

[HSBCrusher]

Most excellent news!

 

When my offer came I CROSSED OUT the confidentiality bit.

1) They have no right to this

2) They pay out anyway

3) You want to gloat don't you ?

[lateralus]

so this new little bit of info may now apply to you as well:

forgive the cut and paste.

babs, new info - i asked the question on crusher's thread and lively lad (good man that he is) gave the reply. pass it on to other's as i have to dash..............

 

hey crusher, how's about a quickie....

question that is:

there are several people now who have had offers, accepted but it doesn't look like the money will come through until after the aq deadline.

am i right telling them they need to go ahead and file it before the deadline passes, even though they have signed the acceptance. bit of a grey area for me, unchartered seas........ yeah or nay, a lot of people will struggle to find that extra dosh at this particular time. what say you?

thankx for the input.

 

from lively lad:

I would firstly ask tell the bank you will need:

 

a) The cash deposited into account or a cheque before the AQ date

b) Failing that written confirmation of the offer.

c) I would also inform the court that you have reached a settlement and you are awaiting payment ask them to delay the submission date by 1 week.

so if the deadline looms and the money still isn't in your hand - you can give that a go.

do not halt the claim until the money arrives.

 

forgot to say:CONGRATULATIONS!, WELL DONE.

[mrpenguin]

Many thanks for that info - the letter has been amended, signed and now has a stamp on it ready to go!

 

I'll update the thread if there is any further progress.

[mrpenguin]

Acceptance letter with the amended text sent off today. Also got my Notice of Transfer of Proceedings pack in the post this morning. Is this the AQ questionnaire?

 

I think I should have this completed and ready to submit on the deadline of 7/1/07 (a Sunday so will have done by the preceeding Friday 5/1/07) if HSBC haven't paid me the money advised on by then.

 

Is there anything I should be aware of while filling out the forms?

[lateralus]

yes, that's the aq.

here's some info:Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion

yes, be prepared to file but don't do it until you absolutely need to because if your claim is over 1500, it costs 100 to file and that's another 100 you will need to get from dg. so, as above in post 28 - if still no money - go for the week delay a couple of days before it's due, personally, i think you will have your money by then - no prob.

don't halt the claim until it is in your hand. have a good xmas - knowing you've won! they've settled - that's the main thing, you'll soon have the dosh.

[mrpenguin]

My AQ deadline is 7/1/07 (this Sunday) but in order to get in on time I would need to submit it tomorrow. I filled out the AQ and wrote out my cheque ready to post it tonight but what should land on my mat this morning...? A letter from DG confirming the monies would be paid in to my account within 7 days of their letter. I checked my account just now and the money is in there! Woohoo!

 

I now need to stop my court action so should I contact the courts directly to advise?

 

Also I would like to donate to the site, how to I go about doing this?

[claire78]

OK, you can just send the court a brief letter confirming the matter has been settled, and no further action is required.

 

You can donate by clicking the long grey bar at the top of the pages on the site (it's via paypal).

 

Congratulations Mr Penguin

[lateralus]

hey, mr. p, congratulations - glad to see them finally coming across with the dosh,

[mrpenguin]

Thanks to all that have helped me through this claim, I've made a donation (x1 of the charges recovered, £25) and have notified the bank and the court. I'll complete the questionnire shortly so that's about it!

 

Take care & thanks !
