Laffar v's Natwest

[bs0lth]

Hi Laffar,

 

same message to you as to tim... wondering if you have heard anything from Corbetts or how things are going.... Ive been unable to get on here for over a week... more pressing things happened at home... stress is unbelievable but had hoped that this would be over and done with before now...

 

can you let me know how things are going

 

well i hope

 

Lynne

Hi Lynne,

 

Not a lot of action here, sent a copy of my response to their part 18 request thingy to the courts just to keep them informed. Other than that absolutly nothing, they're still yet to reply to their AQ, i reckon they'll draw that out until deadline day, then who knows what they have up their sleeve.

Hi Laffar,

 

thanks... Ive been sitting chewing my nails thinking... "is it me?" do I smell and other nasty things. Im in the same boat Ill let you know if I hear anything

I'm watching this with interest now. I sent my first letter to Natwest 9 days ago claiming £8795 plus interest over 4 years.

 

As of yet I haven't heard a thing from them, not even a standard rejection so does this mean I can expect the same messing about before they even think about settling?

[laffar]

£8795 ???? What a whopper!!!! Your track through the process will be a bit different to mine once you get to the court stage, anything over £5k won't go through small claims.

 

They may actually be looking at yours with it being so large, maybe it won't be a standard letter .... what am i saying, of course it will.

 

If they haven't got back to you in 14 days then it's the letter before action. Might be worth giving them a call to confirm they've recieved your prelim letter. Don't tell them what it is regarding unless they ask. Just say "I'm just calling to confirm you've recieved my letter dated ..... ". They may try to lure you into a dialogue and pass you between people to discuss its content so be aware.

Hi again laffar.... Ive had an offer for 50% from Corbetts... are you having any kind of luck from them.

 

And we know where we are going to tell them where to stick it...

 

Lynne

[laffar]

Not heard a thing. Have you received their allocation questionnaire yet?

[bs0lth]

Hi Laffar

 

I got their allocation questionarre in with all the bumf... their defence and a cpr part 18 request... I sent them the nasty letter saying didnt have to reply... but then the day I handed the stuff into the court I decided to change my mind, I answered their cpr request and wrote one of my own asking for full break down of charges etc... sent them a copy of this and handed one into the court....

 

However... I bet you get it in the post tomorrow... since it seems that Ive been a day behind getting stuff ... I dont know why the difference... and looking at all our dates... ronnie corbetts are sending out stock replys to our claims... weve all had the same letters dated the same... the defences were filed on the same day etc...

 

I reckon you will have yours tomorrow....

 

keep me posted... I want this to work for you as much as it is for me

Hi Lynne

 

I haven't even had their AQ yet, they reckon they can't complete it until i've answered their CPR. They have until 23rd July to submit their AQ, then i don't know what happens. Might call the courts to see if they've received it.

 

Do you have any idea of what happens if they don't submit their AQ??

Hi Laffar

 

I got that letter from them, then I relented and decided to reply to their CPR part 18... if you want a copy of what I sent and the my very own CPR request pm me with your email address and i will send you a copy of both of them. I dont know if I did the right thing or not, however, I decided that because the amount I was claiming was just under the 5K I would reply to it. I sent a copy with my AQ when I dropped it off at the County Court in sunderland, and then sent them a copy of it directly. I dont know if this differs from what you did.

 

However, in the template library, Im sure there is a link to the AQ and pdf versions for you to download.

 

I am supprised at all of this, I thought at one stage they were just sending the letters out as standard.

 

let me know if I can be of any help at all...

 

one question, have you sent your AQ back to the court? and paid your fee? you know thinking about it, it may have taken your court longer if they have a lot to deal with... I asked about this in Sunderland, if they had been busier because of all of this ... the reply... no not really this is one of the first to come through...

 

but then again... I live in a strange place

 

Lynne

[laffar]

They've finally returned their AQ - on the last possible day unsurprisingly. More sitting tight for me

[timinio]

Hi mate,I had their AQ on the last day too!they love dragging things out..this is to make others think twice before they make a claim...dont know what happens next?

I guess a court date!!

Hi Guys

 

I'm new to consumeractiongroup but in the same boat. Buzzing (like a fridge) that i've picked up this thread.

 

Got a letter from Ronnie Cobbetts yesterday quoting CPR 18 and 16 PD paragraphs 7.3 - 7.5 blah blah blah. Awaiting the AQ.

 

Will be eagerly waiting and checking here daily for progress. Can anyone send me a standard reply to this - I wouldn't like to send them anything too personal based on the fact that I have now found out that this a standard response.

23/6/06 - Claim against NatWest £1008 + interest. defence and request for more info received 27/7/06

seanf,

 

Hi! Don't have a standard reply to hand I'm afraid. However, if you use the search tool - you'll find it located towards the top of the page - and key in a couple of pertinent words then you'll have no trouble locating one in seconds.

 

It's worth checking out as it will enable you to find the answer to pretty near any question you have without scrolling through absolutely everything on here.

 

Hope that helps?! ;-)

Has anyone put in a complaint, to date, for the shabby posting of our statements from NW? Confidentiality of our personal details and encouraging potential fraud etc. I am keen to know - is there a thread for this issue?

[laffar]

some encouraging news today ... got a letter from cobbetts offering half of what i'm after. obviously not good enough but at least they haven't forgotten about me! Now to write a polite "thanks but no thanks" letter ... the net is closing!

[Kate252]

Hi Laffar,

 

Thats good.... but not great..!!! Ive also had a letter from Cobbetts today offering me approx half.... NOT GREAT EITHER

I was wondering whether to accept, but the feedback I have gotton has said to tell them to sod off!!! Politely of course.

[laffar]

Definately in agreement there, sod off it is! it's not great but at least encouraging, it just kind of draws a line under all the delaying tactics and the fat cheque a step closer ... i hope!!

[bs0lth]

Hi Laffar...

 

Wondering whats happening with you... corbetts sent me a cheque today for the full amount.... yup... Ive won... no confidentiallity clause or anything....

 

Im still in shock....

 

have you got yours yet?

 

Its coming have faith....

 

Lynne

[Kate252]

Hi Laffar

 

Just wondering if you have heard anything from Cobbetts.... I know we both had an offer of about half and now im still waiting for something else ..... two weeks later.

 

It seems to be dragging on abit, doesnt it?

 

Cheers:)

[laffar]

Cathie,

 

I'm still waiting, getting a little worried .. although it's encouraging that someones in the same boat, at least they're not picking on me!!

 

I'm going away until monday so hopefully there'll be a nice (full) offer waiting for me when i get back, and news that you've had your claim settled too. Not holding my breath though

[Kate252]

HI Laffar

 

Have a great time..... I hope we both get it by the time you are back.

 

Cheers

[laffar]

It won't be that great, just going home for the weekend (fairly near you actually). But after a crap weekend (probably) what better way to cheer myself up than to cash my big fat cheque!?

[laffar]

Ooooo yes, i'm psychic, got a cheque for the full amount when i got back from my weekend away!! it's a big relief i can tell you, just hope it doesn't burn a hole in my pocket.

 

thanks for everyones support and advice.

[strongdumplin]
