lthomp192 Vs Barclays ***SETTLED IN FULL***

[lthomp192]

God they don't halve string it out don't they,i just hope you're right!!!

[madhouse5]

I know what you mean, I've settled 2 claims (1 with mbna, 1 with FD) in less time than it's taking with barclays.

[african_igbo]

Excellent News I hope this will be the same in my case LBA letter recorded delivery off this Monday.

[madhouse5]

Unfortunately barclays won't settle until a least a couple of weeks before court date.

[intercityman]

Its a shame the courts arent double or triple booking, as they know that the Judge time will be wsted on the day.

 

Total waste of the UK courts time really, I can see alot of judge have loads of spare time.

[lthomp192]

in my case it's only "4 days" away and they are still stalling, they seem to be getting harder and harder to break down knowing that they can play the system right to the very end,and there's nothing going to stop them. Paying out money for bailiffs etc seems to be part of the course, (after all it's only money!!!) the way i see it untill someone or something says that is it, no more, they are going to try every trick in the book and just keep on and on to see how far they can push it.

[dar£n]

Tell them that your settlement amount has just gone up £50 as you have had to book time off work for the court appearance

CPR 27.14

 

They did this to me, so I played it right back at em.

I didnt realise at the time though that I could have claimed back the money spent on posting the bundle and letters etc...Dohhhh.

 

This time next week you'll be celebrating....

[lthomp192]

I was just thinking of your thread when i put the phone down from the courts, i thought oh no, not another dar£n saga, but as you say it will end the right way, i might just do that and say time off work was booked in advance a couple of weeks back at least i'll get something back for there stupid behaviour.

Oh bye the way nice to see you back, i have'nt seen you on line the last few nights, or is it we have just logged on at different times.

[dar£n]

Too blooomin right, its just a pity you can only claim £50.

 

I think this amount seriously needs re assessing.

 

PART 27 - THE SMALL CLAIMS TRACK

[african_igbo]

Hi Can you clarify that when I eventually get a court date Have I also got to appear at Court if So I will need to sort out dates as I may be on support call .

If you are the claiment yes. they might take it all the way to the courts if that's the case you will need to attend. (they more than likely won't attend) you must have all docs ready just in case, you have to follow the procedure right down the line which means attending court if need be. you might not get that far of course, they might settle prior to court date, but you can gaurentee they will do everything in there power to make life as dififcult and be as awkward they can for you.

Igbo,

As ithompy says it IS a possibility.

 

By now, you should already have read the FAQ's and guidelines.

In particular, one of the first threads you should have read would be "THE GUIDE TO RECLAIMING THE CHARGES."

 

In there, there is a thread titled "IMPORTANT THINGS YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW"

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31575-important-things-you-really.html

 

A part of that thread reads

Do understand that your claim against your bank could end up in a Court!!

maybe you need to read this and the others before continuing.

[lthomp192]

Rang clerk of court this morning said following, Hearing is "Vocated" tomorrow and they will serve Bs with "Judgement Order" today.

 

ADVICE PLEASE, the Court is claiming for my initial claim (when fileing "Judgement) from the "NI Form" (filed on the 2/01/07) which is not inclusive of "Q/A" fees or "Daily Interest". is it therefore up to me to get these costs back when Bs come to settle claim, or do i need another form or something to claim this back??? Regards B.T.

[dar£n]

Usually they order the defendant to pay the claimant in full including costs,

They should be aware of the accruing interest as It was entered in your initial claim wasnt it?

You should also add in £50 for CPR 27.14, not a lot but youre entitled to it.

[lthomp192]

Yes dar£n mate, interest was entered in initial claim, thanks for getting back so quickly,that's set my mind at rest i can now relax and get back to the waiting game i beleive the courts will give them 14 days to sort it out so we will see?? thanks for that B.T.

[lthomp192]

Rang Court to confirm that "Judgement" has been served on Bs today,(didn't want not to turn up tomorrow and be struck off) so all is well.

[lthomp192]

Received copy of "Judgement" order Courts sent to Bs in post this morning, states Bs have to settle by 25/05 or else.

The sum qouted seems to be short of "Daily Interest" charges (approx £117), so i assume i have to claim this when they send the settlement letter through? am i right or do i have to take another tack. Regards B.T.

Lloyds TSB has become the first bank to win a court case after being sued by a customer for imposing supposedly unfair overdraft penalty charges.

I've just been on Lloyd's forum reading the thread, there's a lot of support there so hopefully it will be overuled on appeal.

[dar£n]

Ref the posting about Lloyds. there are a lot of people panicking now about banks going to win..

If the story is read in full, this guy tried to beat the system by using his own path of procedures, didnt follow as advised on here,

People who DO NOT take time to read these posts and advise FULLY ..WILL GET CAUGHT OUT.

These Banks are not stupid, they can tell if a claimaint is trying it on and is not fully competent. if they see weakness in a claim they will push it.

 

 

Igbo, please dont take this as an insult but please learn from this, I get the impression you are not fully aware of the consequences of not following the correct path.

[CAZKATJOE]

what a relief Daz, i noticed this on an earlier thread and was just about to start paniking, thanks again, you are like a guardian angel LOL LOL

Caz

[CAZKATJOE]

ps Daz what are the scales people keep on going on about, i would love to tinker with someones scales

[dar£n]

what did I do?

[CAZKATJOE]

told me all about the Lloyds case, and that he had made some errors, so again putting my mind at rest. As always, good advise at the right time, you are perfect in every way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dar£n]

awwwwww, will you marry me?
