Me V The woolwich

[e28bigalbexley]

Well done dont forget to send more copies of you shedule (with your Claim number on them) to the court and to Barclays.

Then sit back and wait for their defence to arrive;)

14 days up today! Woolwich have not responded to the claim. I have tried to start judgement but keep getting a message stating defendent has 14 days to respond. I understand through reading a few threads on here they are sometimes given a few extra days on top of the 14 days. Do I just sit back for a couple more days or shall I ring the court? Any advice would much appreciated.

what a bummer. but typical of barclays/woolwich more often than not always defend on the last day

[marley2009]

awww hun thats so unfair of them, but at least u know that ur gonna get ur money and that these gits just like to waste courts time and ours by acknowledging claims when they know damn well they are gonna settle. just wish the courts would clamp down on it and tell them to stop wasting time, but i guess it is making them loads of money in court fees etc.

Hi all,

28 days was up today. Checked this morning and defence hadn't been submitted. I requested judgement 9am. At 4.30 I checked MCOL and Woolwich had submitted their defence. I have called MCOL and they advised all paper work was sent out today and transfered to my local court. Here goes to lots of reading tonight!

[e28bigalbexley]

Hi Tan

You wont need to do much reading of their defence , much of it will be posted on this forum so you have probably read it already.

Still at least you know they are dealing with your claim. But better than that, your closer to getting your money back.

Hi All, Received notice of transfer today. It has been ordered that - The filling of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case

I understand when claiming online this seems to be standard procedure now. So I am ok with that.

Not sure about defence though.

I have read a lot of threads and The Woolwich defence seems pretty standard.

Please can someone confirm no.1 and two of my defence is standard as when sending the first schedule I missed the dates of and didn't notice until after it was posted.

1.The particulars of claim do not provide details or particulars of the account in question or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful, or the dates thereof.

To the extent it is alleged that the claimant incurred bank charges on his account for unauthorised borrowings (whether unpaid fees for returned cheques, "paid referral fees" or any other such fees), the defendant puts the claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof.

2. This defence is summary in nature and the defendant puts the claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof.

Can anyone advise?

[marley2009]

sounds standard to me babe,

 

also the dates u missed when sending the first shedule, did u amend them when u resent them with previous letters and when u sent to the court coz if so then that should be fine and they are just trying it on, u have proof of each charge so dont worry.

Hi, Amanda

 

Yes I did ammend schedules + schedule sent to court. So seems all is fine, I thought as much but nice to have a second opinion. I have claimed against Halifax and Cap 1 and they were really quick to pay up. Woolwich are a complete pain to deal with. Everything is last minute.

 

Tan

[marley2009]

thats good then so dont panic, they are just trying to scare u hun, just sit back and wait now hun

 

yeh woolwich are the worst but i think its because they are now barclays and well need i say more lol

Still no news. Received an allocation questionnaire friday. Think this has been sent out by mistake as AQ was to be dispensed with. I will ring court tomorrow to check.

[e28bigalbexley]

Hi Tan

If the coyrt have sent an Allocation Questionaire then they want you to fill it in. You could ague with them but why bother.

[tan4874]

Just getting everything together and I have just noticed on my schedule of charges I have marked two dates incorrectly, they should state 2005 and I have put 2003. Interest total should have stated 1057.52 at date of claim and not 1067.13. What shall I do? Should I let court/The Woolwich know or just leave it as it is?

[tan4874]

Bump

[tan4874]

Allocation questionnaire handed in today (obtained a receipt) also sent a copy recorded to Barclays.

I have emailed the litagation dept and have just received this reply -

Thanks for your email, I’ll be dealing with your claim. I will look at your claim with a view to settlement out of court, however due to the high volume of claims I deal with I’ll be able to give you a more realistic time estimate when a hearing date is allocated. Your patience is much appreciated though in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Kind regards

Hi Tan,

 

Re post 40, I wouldn't worry about it. If busy Barclays notice it - I'm sure you wouldn't mind them altering the payment slightly to reflect your small error, as they will just want to pay. I personally would not feel the need to alert anyone to it.

 

I really haven't kept up to date, but the above just seems like Barclays standard, i.e 'get a court date and we'll settle'

 

JMHO

[tan4874]

Contacted court today - Judge has ordered Case to be heard in small claims court and is to last no more than 30 mins. No date as yet and receptionist has no idea how long it could take to get one. Carry on waiting I s'pose..............

[welshcakes]

Tan - what's the latest on your claims, have they been settled yet?

[tan4874]

Hi welshcakes, Unfortunately we are still waiting for a court day(our court is so slow) Just going to have a read of your thread now. Regards Tan.

[tan4874]

Got court date for 05/09. Going to give Robert a ring and will start getting bundle together..

[tan4874]

Just spoke to Robert Saunders and have been advised, they are very behind and have a huge backlog. I will not hear anything until august. Worth a try I s'pose!
