Raoul Duke V HSBC

[lateralus]

in a day or two you will receive from the court - a transfer to your local court, a copy of dg's defense and an allocation questionaire. look on the aq for the deadline - that's the important bit. you will fill it out and send it back in (with another 100 if the claim is over 1500)- (add it to your claim). don't be in a hurry to send it in - wait until it is almost due and in the meantime - ring dg and see if they received your breakdown, and then ring a couple of days later to see how it's going and then a couple of days later to see if they need any more info from you - get the idea? it's to keep your claim up near the top. they often make an offer just before the aq is due - and no sense paying the 100 only to have them offer and you have to say oh, yes, by the way that's another 100 because i sent off the aq. so hold on a bit.

 

as for the aq - start looking at this:Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion a step by step guide to filling it in.

and this:New strategy for Allocation Questionaires read other threads and we'll be along later to tell you how this applies - keep posts 2 and 3 handy.

[lateralus]

what's you due date ? - and i mean the aq - not the sprog. were you the one whose o/h is expecting - if not - ignore the above comment (lol).

[lateralus]

raoul, have you got that aq ready to go? need any help. don't let the impending birth make you forget the deadline.

let us know if you hear anything.

here's a thread i wrote to help with the next bit............

When you have filed your AQ................ (1 2 3 4)

[lateralus]

when you get your paperwork from the court - send them 2 copies of your schedule of charges - referencing your claim number.

the solicitors have 14 days from the issue date to file an acknowledgment - they will and that gives them another 14 days added to the first 14 in which to file a defense. at the acknol. page 2 is dg's address - so when you get the acknowledgment send them a breakdown as well and reference your claim number.

 

best to start your own thread in the hsbc forum - just look for the new thread tab - that way we can help you and find you much more easily.

keep track of everything - let us know how you are getting on.

[lateralus]

looks fine to me - might add in the third last line about it being just over the 5k mark. we found a good sentence that netty used - look back over her thread (if you can stand it!) to where she was filing - hers too was just over 5k and the n150. that's all i see at first read - i'll look again later.

[lateralus]

great! see post 31.

[lateralus]

thanks,

if they say they will be in contact shortly - expect an offer - they don't write for any other reason. fingers crossed for you!

[lateralus]

you are such a party poop!

[lateralus]

if the party hat fits............

[lateralus]

glad you've got it all in perspective!!!

[lateralus]

WHAT, PINKY AND PERKY RIGHT AGAIN.!...WE'LL I NEVER.........

 

 

did you get everything in it - aq fee, court fee, interest, everything.

if so, you can use this one:

 

Date

Dear Whoever

Ref: Your Offer of Settlement

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

Sort Code xx-xx-xx

Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX County Court

 

I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX

 

I accept your offer as full and final settlement only for this claim of bank charges made on my account between xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx(dates of first and last charge)

 

I accept this offer without prejudice and I reserve the right to make any further claims should you apply future charges that may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of my claim.

 

I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentially clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by myself.

 

I trust that you will find this arrangement acceptable.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

 

 

 

 

and if they are short on something - tweak this one:

 

Date

Dear Whoever

Ref: Your Offer of Settlement

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

Sort Code xx-xx-xx

Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX County Court

 

I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX

 

Unfortunately your offer has failed to include my allocation fee of £100 and therefore I am unable to accept your offer as full and final settlement until you agree to refund this amount. The total amount I wish to be refunded is £XXXXX

 

As soon as I receive confirmation from you that you agree to this increased figure I will accept the new offer without prejudice and I reserve the right to make any further claims should you apply future charges that may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of my claim of £XXX

 

I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentially clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by myself.

 

I look forward to receiving your revised offer

Yours Sincerely
