Hi guys

 

Received a new letter from cobbetts with Natwest's Allocation questionaire. In the Other information it says this statement :-

 

Case managment directions cannot be proposed until the Claimant serves a Reply to the Request for Further Information which was due on 28 February 2007. In light of this, the Defendant may amend its Defence or apply to strike it out.

 

What do I need to do next ladies and gentlemen? I am very concerned, I do have proof of postage for the reply to the CPR 13.

 

Also, I received an offer that I declined from the bank directly for 2110 total claim 2560 atm.

 

Any advice and suggestions.. I hope this is just usual delaying tactics

Spoke to the court directly they are saying it is essential to fill in the allocation questionaire and that I would have to pay 100 quid god i am so fricking lost its untrue

[mattpj]

Ok got my head around all the section of the questionaire. But need help with section G will this do from another thread?

 

The Claimant proposes the attached draft order for directions, for the courts due consideration. If ordered, the Claimant believes these directions will allow the overriding objectives to be furthered in that they will fully identify the most fundamental issues in dispute (as detailed below), and allow them to be assessed so that this claim may proceed justly and expeditiously.

 

- The crux upon which this claim rests is the true cost incurred by the Defendant as a result of the contractual breach from which its charges arise. If the Defendant cannot substantiate the cost of each charge as proportionate to its loss incurred, it has charged contractual penalties contrary to the UTCCR 1999 and common law principles established since the early 1900's.

 

- In the event that the Defendant's charges were accepted as being a fee for a service (which is denied), examination of its true costs is required to determine whether the price is reasonable as required by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

 

As the law relating to contractual penalties is long established, the Claimant believes the outstanding issues to be of fact. Accordingly, the Claimant respectfully requests that the claim be allocated to the small claims track, and estimates that the hearing of the claim should last no longer than one hour.

Thanks alot guys!

This should help you with your AQ

You could also propose a Draft Directions Order:

Other Information - Section G:

 

I

am respectfully requesting that my claim be allocated to the small claims track.

 

This issue is not a complicated one; it is an issue of fact and not of law. The issue is only whether the money levied by the Defendant in respect of its customer’s contractual breaches exceed their actual costs incurred. I am happy to pay their actual costs and I am surprised the Defendant did not counterclaim for these, because I would have paid them without argument.

 

However, the continuing problem is, (in common with the 100s of other cases currently being brought by other bank customers), that the banks refuse to reveal the details of their penalty-charging regime. As the banks have a fiduciary duty towards their customers, they have a duty to deal straightforwardly and in utmost good faith.

 

Accordingly, I would respectfully ask that the court in this case, not withstanding allocation to the small claims track, order standard disclosure. I understand that it is in the courts discretion to do so. This would bring a rapid end, not only to this litigation, but would also likely bring an end to much of the litigation in progress against other high-street banks.

 

It's a bit of squeeze, but very important you enter all the details.
