Kat v HSBC ****WON****

[lateralus]

now it's back to waiting for a bit. follow the advice on that thread - first thing is when the deadline for the aq has passed - wait about a week then ring the court to see if dg has filed theirs. get back and we will see if it's time to do anything else -

but an offer could come at any time. let us know. don't panic if it says - we aren't giving you blah, blah because of blah, blah, just come back here with it.

[Katteh]

Thanks for the support. I've had a good read up on what the next steps are and I'm sure the time will pass very slowly! I'm going to be printing out some stuff to read in my spare time to make sure I know the in's and out's of what's happening, as I realised when I sent my AQ off that I'd be way too unorganised, as I didn't even know what the draft direction order was! (although a read-up at the last minute remedied that!)

 

Thanks again for the help here, it's much appreciated.

[lateralus]

none of us knew what it was until a few weeks ago - just keep following other threads - it's very informative.

[Whatawoman]

Im still watching your claim intently Kat - as my AQ is due in Monday 2nd April

Hope you get your offer this week

 

Helen

[Katteh]

Hi Helen, hope you get an offer through soon too! I won't hold my breath on getting an offer through anytime soon - I have had no correspondence from them so far. My AQ was due in 31st March but I decided to get it over and done with! Will you be filing a draft direction order with your AQ?

[Micheyboo]

My AQ is due on the 31st March too and I will be doing a Draft Order for Directions with it. I am going to hand it into the courts on Friday 30th with my £100. Haven't heard anything from DG either like you and I sent them a nudge letter saying lets settle before the AQ date.

[Katteh]

How much is your claim for Micheyboo? Hope you get an offer through soon.

[Micheyboo]

My Claim is for about £2440, but add £100 on top for AQ.....

[Katteh]

Left a message for Kate earlier and she called me back a minute ago, they have no record of receiving the copy of my AQ (Was signed for last Friday) but she said it might just be a case of it's not been filed yet and she will look through and call me tomorrow when she finds it. So at least that might have drawn my case to their attention! Kate was very polite too, which was nice.

[lateralus]

take a look at this thread i wrote for after the aq - it may help with some questions or whatever

When you have filed your AQ................ (1 2 3 4 5 ... Last Page)

[dickydido]

i wrote it all out in great detail for dickydido? yesterday - that may help.

 

just checked - that's great detail for the aq

 

as for filing - i say later but don't miss deadline as why spend another 100 you will need to add to the claim - when they may offer within this time frame.

 

wouldn't hurt to drop them a note - saying you will shortly be filing your aq and it will raise the cost of your claim - or call - but don't bug them. one call or e-mail or post is sufficient. if you call - you may actually get through as we are now advising not to bug them - they maybe put their phones back on the hook by now.

Just to say thanks for that info Lat, this claim is for my Son's girlfriend. DG havent filed their AQ, the Judge wrote and gave notice of judgement on the 16th of April if they havent filed by then, that was yesterday. Today came a letter from DG upping their offer but disputing the amount because of a couple of refunds they had made. I had already accounted for them so am going to reply that if they include those amounts she will accept which will be for the full amount plus costs.

To Katteh. If you look at my first posts you will see what a shivering wreck I was about all of this, now I've started another 6 claims for various people, it's amazing how many folk the banks are ripping off. Many many thanks to in particular Lat and Nettyg but also to anyone else who answered my threads. I couldn't have done it without you.

Dickydido (Jan)

[lateralus]

well done, jan. yes, it's amazing how far reaching this all is. and swings and roundabouts - now you'll be leading peeps along. only a few months ago - i was doing this for my son - but stuck around to help out and just keep picking up more and more info - so, keep passing on the info.

again, well done on yours and you are most welcome!

[Katteh]

Okay, I received my AQ documents on the 13th March (hope that's not a bad sign!! ) - is it 14 days from the 13th that they have to file their AQ by? If so, I'm assuming they had to have their AQ in by 27th? Which means it's late.

[Whatawoman]

I have filed my AQ with draft direction attachment today

 

- they will have had the same AG deadline as you - so ring the court today and see if they did send it in. They should give you a date they have to file by - for some reason they get an extension which they seem to be using a lot.

I was hoping you were posting to say you had an offer today - Helen

[Katteh]

Wishful thinking!

I can't remember when my AQ deadline was, I think it was the 31st, I may ring the court today and ask them. All my documentation is filed at home so can't check until I leave work!

[Whatawoman]

Well mine was today and I thought you were 1 day in front so either 31st March or 1st April - either way time to call the court and see if they filled.

[Katteh]

I called them and they haven't filed - forgot to mention the unless order though so will call them again in a minute to find out.

 

I have written a letter based on the template lateralus has given us. Would like some opinions as to whether this is okay to send out please:

 

It has come to my attention that as of 02/04/07, you have not filed the Allocation Questionnaire in this case which was due on 31/03/07. A copy my Allocation Questionnaire was sent to you using recorded delivery, which was signed for on 23/03/07.

 

I am mindful of the vast number of claims with which you are currently dealing. In order to more speedily resolve this matter, I am willing to accept the sum of £975.00. I do not agree to waive my rights in respect of any other actions, nor do I agree to a clause of confidentiality.

 

I hope to hear from you very soon so that a reasonable conclusion to this claim might be achieved. I am sure that the courts would approve of our settling this matter in a timely manner and without their intervention. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours Sincerely,

[Whatawoman]

Looks good to me

 

Good luck

Helen

[Katteh]

Thanks!

Just got a phonecall back from Rachel who I'd left a message for a couple of days ago, she was a lot friendlier than I thought she would be! She was very apologetic about the amount of time it took for her to come back to me and said they'd received and filed my AQ, and will be sending me out a letter ASAP. At least it might move me up a rung on their ladder of contacting! (Fingers crossed) Will still be sending out that letter this afternoon.

[lateralus]

oh, yes! that's the way to take the bull (dg) by the horns! a little proactivity - i think you will find that the letter rachel is sending will be an offer - hopefully a good one - they don't send letters just to say hi......

well done - let us know what's in the letter! if it's close - just hang tough - you're nearly there!

loved your letter! - lol

[Katteh]

Well.. The letter was 90% written by you lateralus.

 

Hoping it will give a nudge in the right direction, and really hope that the 'we'll be sending you a letter as soon as possible' wasn't just a 'go away please' line! I was surprised at how nice Rachel was actually, I expected her to be quite nasty due to the amount of claims they have at the moment - it'd definitely make me grumpy 24/7.

[Katteh]

Well I am now away from home (at the bf's parents and then mine) until a week on Monday!! So if anything comes through the post I won't see it. I think I may be getting one of my flat mates to have a look at the post to see if there's anything offer-like in there! Is there any way of identifying the envelope being from DG from the outside?

[lateralus]

can't recall - seems to me it was a plain white (maybe buff) envelope with no markings except i think it had edgbaston(or birmingham) post mark.

maybe somebody else will let you know for sure.

[givememymoney]

Pretty sure that DG letters have a red stamp on the envelop that helps to identify them I will check later!!!

[nettyg]

white banker window envelope - red stamp with birmingham post mark. letter inside on creamish paper lol

i need to get out more!
