Quick question - Desperate for help!!!!***WON!!!***

[Molly Brown]

Hi Guys,

 

Well just to update I am now in the process of completing my AQ and am happy with what I am doing. (I am using the Draft order for directions).

 

However, I am thinking ahead to the court bundles and just want to be absolutley clear on what will happen and what I need to do.

 

Presumably if/when a court date is made I will be sent a form listing details required for my 'bundles'.

 

I have looked through loads of threads regarding the bundles, including the actual links provided. I have to be honest, I really confused!!

On the form that the court will send me are there sections a, b, c and d, d being the actual bundles - is this correct??

 

Looking through all the court bundles that are on this site, do you just amend any info where neccessary and print off? It's all a different language and i'm totally lost!

 

Please help, I'm getting really worried now and just want to be sure of what I am doing.

 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

 

EDIT

Just read some more info, on my draft actually and have worked out points A, B, C AND D.

 

Is A all my bank statements that the bank originally sent me or is that B??

What should I put in for C?

I am still a bit confused by D - court bundles (as above).

 

Also, where do I put in all my letters to and from the bank?

 

Really sorry for all the questions, want to be sure on what im doing.

d being the actual bundles - is this correct??

 

Correct

 

do you just amend any info where neccessary and print off?

 

Yes, don't worry, as yet nobody has actually had to use this in court

[MollyBrown]

Thanks Michael, thats great.

Bring it on!!

[MollyBrown]

I am just about to send my AQ to the courts and a copy to Barclays, does anyone know which Barclays address I should send it to?

 

Really desperate as want to post this afternoon!

 

Thank you!!

[Bookworm]

[MollyBrown]

Excellent - thank you!

Hello,

 

I have just received a letter from the court with a court date for 12th June 2007.

It desnt actually state the details I need to supply as I had read would happen (e.g. point A-D), it simply says;

 

District Judge Rutherford has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

 

The hearing of the claim will take place at 14.00 on the 12 june 2007 at Bath County Court, (address then given....) and should take no longer than 15 minutes.

 

The court must be informed immediatley if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

 

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all the documents (including any experts' report) on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than 29th May 2007.

 

The original documents shall be brought to the hearing.

 

Defendent do by 4.00pm on 22 May 2007 file and serve:

1. an itemised statement showing how each and every item charged is calculated

2. a copy of the contract with the customer

3. skeleton legal arguements if points of law are to be argued relating to punitive damages and/or unfair contract terms.

Date: 10 May 2007

 

End.

 

Is this normal? Do I still to send in the court bundles in full or just the correspondence and statements as requested??

 

Also, is it worth me calling Barclays tomorrow to see if they are willing to settle?

 

Thanks so much for any help, desperate to get this sorted tonight as away all week form tomorrow and want it out the way.

Defendent do by 4.00pm on 22 May 2007 file and serve:

1. an itemised statement showing how each and every item charged is calculated

2. a copy of the contract with the customer

I rather think they will want to settle before 22 May, which will save you having to submit a court bundle by 29 May.

The court must be informed immediatley if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

This is a good example of the judges becoming aware that they have absolutely no intention of showing.

 

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all the documents (including any experts' report) on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than 29th May 2007.

we all know B's will miss this deadline as they have no bundle to submit.

 

The original documents shall be brought to the hearing.

 

Defendent do by 4.00pm on 22 May 2007 file and serve:

1. an itemised statement showing how each and every item charged is calculated

2. a copy of the contract with the customer

3. skeleton legal arguements if points of law are to be argued relating to punitive damages and/or unfair contract terms.

basic court bundle + your documents.

 

Is this normal?

Yes perfectly almost to the letter.

Do I still to send in the court bundles in full or just the correspondence and statements as requested??

completed bundle, if posting send via recorded delivery...if by hand get a signed receipt showing it was the court bundle that was accepted.. also send a copy to Barclays

 

Also, is it worth me calling Barclays tomorrow to see if they are willing to settle?

in these circumstances the way things are with so many people claiming these charges, B's are so overrun they prob ask you to call back nearer the date...... I would wait until 29th May [pm], ask to be put through to who ever is dealing with your claim and calmy mention that "the deadline for submitting the court bundles has expired and you havent received yours from them"..."why?"....."do you want to settle out of court to save further embarassment"...THEY WILL!!!!

[Molly Brown]

Thanks guys for your replies, thats really helpful, will crack on with my bundles tomorrow, just as well get them done and sent off.

 

Will call Barclays on the 29th as you advised, will keep you posted!!

 

Thanks again

[Michael Browne]

You don't need to do the court bundle yet.

 

Defendent (ie The Bank) do by 4.00pm on 22 May 2007 file and serve:

1. an itemised statement showing how each and every item charged is calculated

2. a copy of the contract with the customer

3. skeleton legal arguements if points of law are to be argued relating to punitive damages and/or unfair contract terms.

Wait till the 23rd, they won't have submitted the above. Then ring the bank, they will settle and you won't need to submit a bundle at all.It'll save you alot of work.

[saintly_1]

In otherwords Michael (correct me if im wrong ) the court is asking B's to provide full disclosure of the actual cost of the bank charges ?

[Molly Brown]

Thanks Michael - I will do just that, thank you.

[MollyBrown]

Thanks

Thanks

 

Look at the bottom of Dar£ns post #34

That is Krystas number, Just ask to speak to whoever is dealing with your claim

 

Paul

[MollyBrown]

Hi Paul - thanks for that, sorry didnt see it on the above post.

 

Will let you know how i get on, fingers crossed!

[frog]

Would love to know how you get on. I submitted my bundle a few weeks ago and have yet to see anything from barclays.

My court date is 29th June so I will probably need to call them in two/three weeks time too

[MollyBrown]

Good luck with yours Frog - will defo let you know how it goes

[MollyBrown]

Hello - Right, slightly nervous, i'm about to call barclays to see if they will settle out of court, they had until yesterday to get their documents to the court, any advice???

 

Shall I just ask if they are willing to do an out of court settlement??

 

Any advice very grateful received!!!

[dar£n]

Okay, if it helps write down what you are going to say.

 

get an updated copy of your SOC's and make sure all costs are added.

 

when you are ready, give Krysta a call at the Litigation Team, she and her team are brilliant, not intimidating in anyway... they are very polite.

 

Ask krysta who is dealing with your claim.

She will either connect you there and then, give you details or get them to call you.

 

If you are really not keen to phone send an email to her ....not forgetting to include your claim number, court date etc.

 

I know this stage is very daunting, but truly it is a piece of cake, you will come away with a big smile on your face thinking 'Hey, easy peasy'

 

Go on Molly today is your day to shine!!!!

[PKea]

As Dar£ns says they are very helpful and polite.

 

If you dont want to talk and discuss, just ask for the person who is dealing with your claim and ask for their email address.

 

I know there are people who have done this via email and sometimes it might be easier, cos at times its hard to get hold of people.

 

Also if you have incurred charges since your claim as them to add these onto the settlement, they did in my case

 

PAul

[MollyBrown]

Thank you soooo much thats fab, have just tried but going to voicemail so will keep trying!!

 

Arghhhhh!!!!

[Number23]

Hi all, sorry to just barge in! but wanted to get some advice from people who have been through the stage I'm currently at. I calculated my charges and sent my letter requesting them back and have recieved a response today saying...

 

"sorry you are unhappy with the charges you have incurred....whilst we will endeavor to respond to you within the timescale outlined in your letter, we will not gaurantee that we will do so....we do aim to find a solution within four weeks. If we are not able to do so, we will always write to you explaining what is happening. A full report or update on our progress will be sent to you within eight weeks."

 

Was just wondering what I should do next, just sit back and wait or send another letter and if so what should I say? any advice given would be much appreciated, thanks!

[dar£n]

Hi No.23

First you will need to start your own thread so we can devote our answers to your claim alone.

In ref to your 'quick question' This is std Barclays reply.

Once YOUR deadline has expired move on to the next stage.
