C-M v Abbey

[c-m]

I read that. So as its a preliminary hearing I basically just need to take along all the material that I have used in my allocation questionnaire i.e all though cases about trying to have Abbey's defence thrown out? Plus my bank statements and schedule of charges.

For these occaisions, it's always worth having another refresher on these

It's also not unusual for Abbey not to turn up, so I can see either Abbey applying for a stay (as per this test case), or make you an offer, although it's always best to do the work just in case they call your bluff, and they do actually turn up sometimes.

Judge called about 16 people into the room and told us there is a stay on the cases.

 

All barclays claimants had to wait outside. Barclays had sent up a barrister for some reason.

Like everyone else my claim was stayed.

 

I recently applied to push it through due to hardship.

 

I have now received a letter from Abbey offering 65% £395 of my £600+ claim. It was higher but they previously paid £370 (of £900) as part settlement.

 

Like everyone I could really use the money should i reject this am i likey to have to wait another year to get this resolved?

I am going to write to Abbey tomorrow asking them for more details about the offer i.e is it completely separate and in addition to the previous £370 applied to my account, and how the sum would be paid e.g by cheque or transfer to an account of my choosing.

 

Does anyone have any advice?
