When you have filed your AQ................

[forever young]

AQ due date was 1st April. Have sent nudge letter and phoned court and nothing is happening. It is over 14 days now. Court said last week 7-10 for judge to look at it!.

[Castlebest]

Hiya FY, check with the court again but remember they are struggling with the volume of claims too, try not to upset them lol

what makes you say that - full offer yesterday to one of the first to get that dispensed aq - so he's 6 days in front of you. that's not a guarantee of anything - just a gut feeling. i'll be here to hold your hand - either way! keep a good thought!

 

 

I always try to think happy thoughts lattie! However, I lost my faith in the legal system and solicitors when one of my friends was run over and killed by a lawyer who was over the drink drive limit 15 years ago. Somehow he avoided a jail sentence. I'm not one to bear grudges but I make the odd exception for the lowest forms of life.

 

Anyway, sorry about the tangent, nothing through the letterbox as yet. Nothing planned for a good few weeks, so they can take their time! I'm confident I'll get my money eventually!

 

Thanks for holding my hand by the way!

[lateralus]

[rob-the-viking]

All the helpful advice you pass out to all and sundry I guess! Unless you're a double double agent from the future, sent back in time to bring the system down from within.........

 

Consider your cover blown!

[lateralus]

or a double double double agent from the past, sent to the future to bring chaos to the world of banking from within!

[nettyg]

mole/rats nooooooooo here we go again double oh seven lol

[rob-the-viking]

holy runaway train batman, I thought something sounded suspicious....

lattie, can you confirm/deny any of the following;

1. are you the terminaror?

2. did you shoot jfk?

3. this thread has gone way off topic!

4. HSBC are infact the anti-christ, sent here to destroy the planet?

Hope operation poo clean up wasn't too painless!!

[forever young]

Hi everyone, AQ was due 1ST April, submitted mine HSBC didn't/ then 2 weeks later 16th April they have submitted theirs. Have phoned court and have been told it is with Judge. So I guess I am now awaiting a court date?

[Castlebest]

Unfortunatly yes FY

[lateralus]

and send another letter - every 10 days - a letter to dg - they will have to keep getting up - getting you file - filing the letter and in the end they will say - oh, hell's bells - make them an offer - get them to stop!!!!!

[rob-the-viking]

well lattie you were right! however, instead of the offer you predicted, i've been sent an allocation questionnaire. so I guess my district judge has decided not to dispense with the AQ. bugger. this is going to mean a whole lot more waiting time.

[lateralus]

not necessarily - just fill it in - when's the deadline?

here's my standard aq stuff:

aq info:

Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion

this is your step by step completion guide -and here is:New strategy for Allocation Questionaires

and here is how to use it:

for section g of the n149 (section h on the n150), use the wording in blue on post #3 of new strategy link, and then attach draft order for directions - use wording on post #2 of new strategy link(the bit in blue) making sure to add your name and court claim number to all pages. simple as that. just follow the steps with these two minor additions. the draft order is just asking the judge to order both parties to lay out their wares within 14 days of him ordering it - so it shortens the length of the time to a court date - and as dg/hsbc/all banks don't want to do it - they will pay up by offer or just not file their aq in which case you also win.

 

on, the other front - of this two pronged thing - have you sent dg a breakdown of your charges - it is advisable to do that, as they always ask for one before they offer anything - so it saves a couple of days.

and unless your claim is for under 1500 and wouldn't incur the filing fee of 100, i suggest leaving it until the aq is nearly due before filing it - as dg have been coming in with offers just before the due date in several cases.

 

and now, i've got an idea for a letter - it's the same bog standard stuff - but start off with what we used to use when we used to call them before it was due - which is: I see we have been given an allocation questionaire to fill in. This seems like such a waste of time both for yourselves and for me - I am sure the courts would appreciate our settling this without their intervention and to that end, I would halt my claim as soon as I am offered and in receipt of £xxxx.xx. Obviously this will increase by £100 should I be forced to send in the Allocation Questionaire.

blah, blah, get the picture - same stuff as other letters - but press home that you are saving them further costs (assuming your claim is for more than £1500).

 

Sorry the mystic lat thing didn't work - really wanted you to get an offer - just remember - as always - you need to be pushing dg into an offer while waiting for court stuff to roll along. and as i've always said and it's in the stuff above - wait to file until the deadline is nearly upon you - i don't see the need to add 100 to the claim unless you have to.

ok?

[rob-the-viking]

thanks for the advice lattie, i'll copy this across to my thread, saves me hijacking one of yours!

[lateralus]

what's with the coloured envelope on some threads, anybody know?

[RGS1]

thanks Lateralus,

i sent my AQ about two weeks ago. in every case do DG have to fill out an AQ too?

if they dont fill it does it mean i automatically win?

[Castlebest]

The basis of the AQ is to give the District Judge enough information to allow him/her to allocate court time for your case. So they send out the AQ to both parties asking basic information about the case.

If you have received an AQ so will DG and you will both have had the same return date however DG have been commonly filing their AQ late. This would allow the District Judge to strike out their defence but more commonly the Judges are allowing them more time.

[lateralus]

but when you ring the court and ask if they have/have not filed their aq - it gives you something to say in the nudge letter - and also, looks better for you - if you have complied with the deadline and they haven't - although it won't go to court so no one will know - but you can use their not filing as a reason to write and encourage them to make a move.
