1. It's not a requirement but recommended as a courtesy. If you do then tick the box

2.Charges + interest

3.No.

4.What documents have you attached? This doesn't include the proposed draft direction order.

Thanks for that Q4 was the "Proposed Directions" which i have now ticked No.

I think that is it now i will get theses back to the court and see what happens next. How many copies are required i am not sending any copies to Cobbetts they can squat, no doubt the court will do that if they want a copy as i wouldn't get a copy of Cobbetts AQ out of courtesy?

[Michael Browne]

i am not sending any copies to Cobbetts

Personally I would. The draft Direction will give them something to think about. At least make a copy of everything to keep yourself.

Ok i have finished it all now printed three copies off will send one to courts one to cobblers and one for myself. Will get it in early and sit and wait for a reply. Whats the next event i can expect?

Thanks for all your help thus far.

Hey Fireman...

 

I've just come back from a trip to find a registered letter from Cobbetts... and full settlement enclosed!! All penalties PLUS interest PLUS 8% cummulative interest!! £1620.

 

I called them to ask about the second account that I claimed for at the same time and they've confirmed that a cheque is on its way for that one too - again full settlement, in excess of £2500!

 

I didn't even have to return the Allocation Questionaire to the court as its all been done now!! Amazing!!

 

I've yet to update my own thread... I'll do it at the weekend when I have more time.

 

Good luck with your claim, hope they settle quickly!!

Hi Guys

 

Just received a copy of the defendants AQ through the post, a bog standard reply saying about the claimant failing to particularise the claim,

Case management directions cannot be proposed until the claimant fully particlarises his claim, in light of this , the defendaent may amend its defence or apply to strike out.

 

My gripe is this is all it says when you get a charge on your statement "Charges" it doesn't tell you what it was for!

 

Anyway is this the standard reply?

[Parkvale]

Completely stand drill from cobblers. No need to slip and pitch. Just follow the drill from the court. Pardon the poor fire service terminology.

[smirk]

Firemanssam, they're likely to settle very quickly now... that's about the same time as they did in my case.

[Firemansam]

Cheers All

 

Thats what i was hoping you would say, well here is hoping! 30 days and counting! then:p to Nat west!

[Firemansam]

Spoke to the court today to see what the next stage would be and whether i can expect anything through the door in the next couple of weeks, was told now that the judge will set a court hearing and could get a wait now of up to 8 weeks before having to go to court! Is this standard if so can i start preparing my court bundle once i get this date through the post?

[Deller]

The court date is usually a good sign as Cobbetts will be notified of this date too and this is usally the push they need to get that cheque written out for the full ammount.

[Parkvale]

Firemansam,

I t has been 5 weeks since the court received my AQ. I have phoned the court, and they tell me i shall hear shortly. Waiting game i am afraid . I think some courts are snowed under.

[Firemansam]

Parkvale

 

Well i see you are still waiting, i too phoned the courts today to see what the score was and was told it has now been transferred to another court as the one i sent it too was snowed under so hoping it will get sorted soonest. It worried me at first why it got transfererred but then the lady explained that they are trying to speed up the process, and that none of the cases have ever gone all the way. Did you in your claim put something in reference claiming interest on a daily basis, i was reading Fendy's claim and she is also claiming £3 odd on a daily basis as well which is great! When i claimed i used all the templates on this board but i didn't see anything with reference to the additional % on a daily basis until the claim is settled?

 

Good Luck and keep us posted we are nearly at the same level i think you are slightly in front!

[fendyweather]

Im nearly there too. Only a little behind. Fendy xxx. Im utterly addicted. I just love hearing what tactics Cobbets have employed thats new. Although reading most threads they seem to be desperately running out of new material to stump us all with. They seem to stick to trying to confuzzle us all with the super legal techno uppity bummy speak. Legals, crikey, wonder if they ever speak in plain English. Ha. Keep up the fight and the patience.

[Firemansam]

Spoke again to the courts to see what was happening and was told that the judge has put a 1month stay on the proceedings so that the two parties can reach an agreement. I will wait for the paperwork which should be in the post tomorrow and then ring Lynsey Burgoyne at Cobblers. I was told that the judges are getting really annoyed with the amount of bank charges going through and they ALWAYS get settled before the actual court date. So here is hoping!!

[Parkvale]

Firemansam,

Now in my 7th week of waiting for court directions since my AQ was received by the court. It looks like the long game i'm afraid.

[Firemansam]

Parkvale

 

Did you get a stay? That is what i have got the woman on the phone said that the judges are getting well annoyed with the banks and this is why they have ordered a stay. These just do not go all the way i was told. So hopefully not that long to go now! Good luck with yours though i am still watching. What has the courts said anything?

[Parkvale]

No stay. Just a " The judge is looking at it. " everytime i ring up. I feel that the courts are thinking that they will be settled before directions are given. So that is i presume why they are not rushing. The courts are having a game of poker with the banks. They know that their is interest accumulating on all these claims. So this might be the seige mentality by the courts to force the banks to pay up.

[Firemansam]

Parkvale,

 

Hi how are you getting on? Well i spoke to Cobblers last week to see if they got a copy of "The Stay" from the courts and was told that it is currently being deciding on which way this is going with the bank, so fingers are crossed at the moment and will give them another ring tomorrow to see if they have an update. Good Luck!

[Parkvale]

I'm fine thanks. Sounds quite promising with you, but don't take you eye off the ball. Because it has a nasty habit of hitting you on the back of the head.

They may well throw in the towel. Good luck.

[fendyweather]

Im sure they will. But stay focused.................. right to the end of the game. All the best............ Fendy xxxx
