Santander withholding my money - suspected fraud - **SETTLED full amount+Court Fee+Compo**

[AndyOrch]

We have already covered that extensively...the court the defendant have accepted your particulars...you didn't tick (opt) to serve separate particulars.

 

You will expand at the next stage of the process when you submit your statement of case.

 

So what grounds did they rely on for preventing you access to your 4 K ...simply they weren't happy with your explanation of the money trail...so they will hold on to it ?

[AndyOrch]

Well the whole purpose of entering into mediation was to get information not mentioned in their defence...it was never to settle the claim.

It appears that you really don't have much to add...apart from no Police or CIfas action taken.....so we are really no further on.

 

Any way lets await he Notice of Allocation N157 with the courts directions and dates and then you can start to prepare your statement of claim.....bear in mind its not for you to justify...but for them to prove their actions and what evidence its based on.

[AndyOrch]

As a side note the Order states that along with your amended particulars you must also provide the legal basis on which you the claimant contend you are entitled to be paid the sums claimed. ?

 

Its almost as if you are on trial with your particulars and the court has already accepted he defendant's defence and gone along with suggestion that your claim should be struck out. Now the court are entitled to make an order of its own initiative without the defendant having to make an application with fee...but this just smacks of this is going to be an up hill fight.

 

You submitted your initial particulars...the defendant submitted a substantial defence...the claim proceeded to Directions Questionnaire for allocation.

 

The claim was then transferred to Edmonton and then transferred to Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court and now the court suddenly decides that your Particulars are insufficient ?  

 

Strange.

Standard procedure...have you not read any other threads issuing a court claim and the procedure ? the claim has now been allocated (N157 Notice of Allocation)

 

Follow the directions and comply by the dates states...you must pay the hearing fee by the date (14th Dec 2021) stated otherwise the claim will be struck out.

 

 

[AndyOrch]

Yes you have to pay a hearing fee as claimant or complete an exemption notice if you qualify for exemption.

 

Disregard the offer of mediation.....the Directions are the most important part of the notice and what you must prepare next in preparation for the court hearing.( Preparing a witness statement and evidence in support of your claim).

[AndyOrch]

May be of interest to you......

 

 

[AndyOrch]

This is standard mediation after allocation....they are responding to the N157 Directions (your upload post#153 paragraph 4/5) Its your choice if you wish to participate...but if you dont the court will take it into consideration should you lose the claim and when/if awarding costs to the defendant.
