Court on 16th but no contact

[sammyjammy]

This is on behalf of my Sister in law, we've not posted a thread so far but her court date is set for next Tuesday and we've had no contact from the bank since they sent in their allocation questionnaire, she's not had a copy of their evidence, should she have? They've not tried to make a settlement with her since the start (claim is for just under £1000).

 

The problem is she is getting cold feet about court and I'm a bit concerned the whole thing will fall apart and she will cancel, is it worth sending Barclays an email? If so can anyone point me to a template which might help us word it?

 

Grateful for any advice, I'm really concerned they have forgotten about her.

Is this a full hearing ?

 

she's not had a copy of their evidence,

By this I assume you mean their court bundle. Yes, she should have had it, I think, 14 days before the court date.

 

Have you subnitted your court bundle both to Barclays and the court?

this is what I found out when I phoned them. Sounds like they're short staffed and snowed under.

 

Don't lose confidence now - there's nothing sinister waiting at court.

Hi guys, yes this is the full hearing. We've sent our court bundle to both Barclays and the court but haven't receive anything from them. I appreciate that there is nothing scary but the trouble is its not my fight and I can't help her as I live 300 miles away, I may still be able to talk her around and will get her to give them a call, thanks all

Get her to call saying this is just a courtesy asking where their bundle is and that she thought she'd better check with them before she informs the court that Barclays have failed to submit it in time.

 

The chances are they will say that they are settling in full. If not then write to the court re their failure to submit the bundle.

I'm really cross now, she has tried Barclays but they don't answer telephone and it goes to ansaphone so she has left a message, she then rang the court who were extremely rude and asked what she expected them to do about !! They told her she would have to attend court on Monday where the judge would decide if they had submitted evidence or not and was she pyschic saying that they hadn't!!

 

I've told her to ring again and politely request to speak to someone else, its no wonder the poor girl is reluctant to go to court on Monday if this is the way she will be treated. Sorry for the rant, any other suggestions? It seems like this visit to court on Monday will be a waste of time, she has three children and will have to make complex arrangements at work and for collecting children.

How did she get them to settle in full before vourt if you dont mind me asking? Did she eventually speak to someone at barclays?

Hi Miss Money Penny, we rang Barclays as they hadn't sent her a copy of their evidence, they settled on the spot without any prompting from us, with hindsight we shouldn't have left it so late to chase it up,
