For all the misery you caused HSBC **WON**

[siena]

Right, this one is really dragging on and I have finally received letter from the court with a date. Despite lots of research can't find anyone who has has this letter.

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT

 

Upon review of the court file

 

It is ordered that

 

1. The claim be allocated to the small claims track.

 

2. The claim be listed for further directions only at a preliminary hearing on the 25th June 2007 to be held at Norwich County Court. ( Time estimate 5 minutes)

 

3.At this hearing the court will consider either:

a) To stay the claim pending the decision in a test case involving the Defendant,or

 

b) To give directions for this claim to be heard as a test case, and if necessary to reallocate the claim to the multi track for that purpose.

 

4. Not less than 14 days before the preliminary hearing, the Defendant shall file with the court and serve upon the Claimant details of any cases proceeding as a test case, the decision in which will determine the issues in this claim. Alternatively, the Defendant shall file with the court and serve upon the Claimant draft directions for this case to proceed as a test case.

 

5. The Claimant may make any representations to the court in writing provided these are received by the court and served on the Defendant not less than 5 days before the preliminary hearing. If either party is prepared to abide by the decision of the Judge as to the directions to be given, that party is excused from attending the preliminary hearing.

hi siena

i think this is basically 'gee-up' dg into making an offer or getting their wares on the table. i feel an offer coming to you soon. if you don't receive an offer in the next couple of weeks - start getting your 'bundle' ready for the 25th june, don't do it yet, you've plenty of time.

 

fingers crossed xx

no problem siena - it's much easier than it looks - they are just getting sick and tired of the banks not going to court - so - it is saying that they must show their stuff 2 weeks before the court date and you must show yours 5 days before. this makes total sense as in all previous cases - the claimant has put all their stuff before the court and then - dg offers because they won't show their stuff - so now, they must do it before you - so, don't do the court bundle and all that 600 pages of copying until you know they have submitted their stuff to the court and to you - which they won't....... so it's great news - only just wish it was a quicker court date.

so, nothing to do on the court side of things until 11 june - when they must submit their stuff - so you move over to the nudging side of things -

my newest advice is a nudging letter every 10 days until you get an offer - it's a revision of the old bugging them by phone - and this is more effective - because they can't ignore a letter - they have to file it away - so - both my threads have useful phrases and ideas for letters in post 1 -

take a look and write a letter - then another - every 10 days.New---after 28 Days - Maybe No Aq!!!!!!!

When you have filed your AQ................

Thanks Netty and Lattie,

 

I hoped you would be around. Sorry I haven't been on for a while. I did think that this letter might be a new tactic by the court to speed things up. Slightly concerned when I read the words,"test case" as I'm not up on the most current information regarding recent cases at the moment. I hope they don't produce anything except a cheque before the hearing. If they do, will I have to send the whole court bundle at this time as this is still a prelim hearing with only 5 minutes allocation. Will send the letters, thank you so much.

 

 

This is confusing, I studied law to A level but still haven't got a bloody clue really:confused:

Hiya Siena, You have got the pre trial review route, have a look at this thread.

If DG don’t make you an offer and you attend, (they will because they wont want to go anywhere near a District Judge) I think you will have plenty of company. This thread has about 5 people all going to Ipswich on the same day and that’s just the ones we know about

[lateralus]

it will never happen - they'll all get offers before then -

just need to keep on top of dg,

letting them know that you know what's up -

once again - i have to say it - if you didn't have this site as a backup - you'd most likely have given up by now - or at least gone through a whole load of soiled undergarments.!

Thanks Pete,

 

Have just read this thread and feeling much more confident now I know I'm not the only one. Wonder if there's anyone else for Norwich County Court on June 25th!

I have to admit this site is invaluble. It just makes things so much easier and the best thing is I am not alone and nor are any of you reading this post. We cannot beat the banks without helping each other and Lattie and others like her make it possible to succeed.
