Need help with AQ form please!!

[davesherman]

Heeeelp!!

 

I just received the AQ form today and I'm hoping to fill it in and send it off as quick as possible.

 

I've done all the first questions but I'm stuck at the 'other information' bit - what should I put in here? My claim is for just over £1000 so it's small track and I did find the paragraphs below in the FAQ but they don't seem to fit to my claim as it's only for £1000?? I would like to put something in there though as I feel like if it's left empty it won;t look as serious.

 

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. I believe this would bring a rapid end to this litigation.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

I'm sorry I don't understand the £1000 relevance to putting that paragraph in the AQ?

[davesherman]

sorry - I was just saying that as my claim's only £1000 it should definitly be a small claim. I was just asking, how should I adapt that paragraph as my claim is only for that amount and not for over £5000 as I think that paragraph is suited to.

The first paragraph you are writing starts

 

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

Trust this clarifys for you

[davesherman]

So this bit would be suitable then? I think I might've just been reading it wrong?!?

 

I got the impression from the wording that it was for a claim not in the small claims track that you were asking to be considered for the small claims track.
