Diary of an impatient woman!

[lateralus]

phil - how about a cute little note with flowers on the front saying - please could you honour your offer and my acceptance by sending me the money so that I can halt the claim.

 

it wouldn't hurt and you'd feel better - you know what you send it - you'll get your money on friday - you don't send it - it will come in four days!!!! mystic lats strikes again!

[Philomena100]

i received an call today from the bromley county court asking if i had received my acceptance letter for a ''listening hearing'' on the 18th of this week! ergh what the hell is this you guys they said they will send another letter out to me with all the details and the man said he couldnt give me all the details over the phone? how the guy was talking over the phone it sounded like some sort of ''mediation'' thing

 

im confused yet again

[lateralus]

did you tell him that you have accepted an offer from them?

i'd def ring them back and tell them that an offer was issued and accepted by you and you are awaiting your money - and that you will write to them to halt the claim just as soon as the money arrives - that should be enough for them to delay that hearing. they may want it in writing.

 

and you know what, phil - if it was me - i would copy the acceptance letter and send it to DG -(although it is just 9 working days since you accepted - so it may come very soon - have you checked your balance?)

 

ring the court with that above tomorrow

[Philomena100]

yeah i told them that i had accepted an offer on the 2nd they then told me well shouldnt they have paid up if they were going to give you the money!yes you heard right and that it doesnt seem likely that the bank will pay up without this hearing?

 

they said they can halt the hearing if thats what i want to do but geting another hearing will not be available until after the summer the guy really seemed to be pushing me into doing this hearing thing like it is the only real option i have?

 

i have already my sent my second copy of my acceptance leter last week and and have called them to see if they have recived either letter but i havent had a response

[freakyleaky]

I would ring dg again in the morning. As you have had an offer and you have accepted it, I would have thought they have to pay you. The guy at the court is just following orders by the sound of it. As lat says, it has not been 10 days yet so check the post and check your account in the morning.

[Philomena100]

all this drama i just either want the money or for them to set a court date all this back and forth stuff doing my head in, i doubt i will recive anything tommorow just a gut feeling if i was dg would have responded to my letters and phone call and said yes they have got it etc

i will check in the moring as i normally do but if i dont receive anything then im just going to wait for the letter from the court and just through with the ''listening hearing''

[freakyleaky]

Now just hold on there just a godam minute!

You have done all the hard work and received an offer. You have accepted the offer. They now owe you that money. If they don't pay you, send in the baliffs. I am sure there are threads somewhere on this subject that someone will point you to if you need it.

Why would you want to go through with this listening thing when oyu already have your offer?

Ring the court and ask to halt the hearing until after the summer. So what. You will have your money by then either through normal process or the baliffs. I am not sure how long it would take using baliffs but I would have thought it would be fairly quick.

Now calm down dear and have a large sambuka, kick back and chill for a few hours1

Think positive:D

[Philomena100]

Now just hold on there just a godam minute!

You have done all the hard work and received an offer.

:o:o

 

jeeze! i know what you saying but the fact is yes i have accepted there offer but as of now i have got the money so what do i really have to lose by going to the hearing?

as you and laterauls said the money might well come b4 friday but what if it doesnt maybe the hearing might speed things along dont you think?

[freakyleaky]

No i don't think it will speed things up. Lets say you hadn't had the offer or accepted and it went to hearing and was judged in your favour. They would then be liable from the date of that judgement to pay you. You would then have to wait another 10 days oor so. But you also might still not receive it then and have to send in the baliffs.

As I see it they are now obligated by law to pay you what they offered, so just chase it up and put the brakes on the court stuff.

[freakyleaky]

Other people please jump in with any thoughts!!!

[Philomena100]

i thought as it was a ''listening hearing'' and not the full cort thing that it would speed things up to come to an easier end thats what i thought mediation rubbish was all about (assuming it is mediation)

[freakyleaky]

Ypu have reached the end! You just want the money now! Chase that up and forget the court side!

This is only my oppinion based on the information I have learned from other threads. I am sure others will either back me up or not very soon.

Please stop worrying so much. I am feeling stressed for you. It will all come right very soon.

[Philomena100]

oh lord! dont get stressed for me please! i wont say another word about it!

[freakyleaky]

Keep talking if yo need to. Just be slightly more positive.

This time next week you'll be laughing about all the panic:p

[Castlebest]

Ask the court what the hearing is about and what you need to take, I suspect it will be just a chat with the District Judge to see if he can force the solicitors hand.

 

Phone DG and tell them as they havent deposited the money you consider this to be a breach in the terms of the settlement and you will see them in court.

 

Dont worry all the district judges I have met are very nice people and he wont be angry with you. I bet ya get ya money damn quick then

 

pete

[lateralus]

agree with pete and if you don't get them on the phone - could you fax them - they don't ignore faxes - and just say i am just waiting for the money but if it isn't here by friday i'll see you in court and i will take all my copies of my letters to you to show the court how i've done all the chasing. and i don't think the judge will be pleased with you wasting their time.

[Philomena100]

thankyou guys for your opinion they have managed to ignore both my faxes so im not sure sending them another one will benefit,but i guess i havent got anything else to lose

 

but i will write out my letter to dg today then send them the fax tommorow morning after i check my balance if i receive my money up till thursday then i will cancel the hearing thing if not i will just go to the hearing and see what they have to say

i think thats fair?

[Castlebest]

Phill just phone the court too to make sure what is on the judges mind, think they will tell you what he wants you to do.

 

pete

[Philomena100]

sweet jesus! i have my money i just checked my account on the off chance im at work now i cant belive it

[Philomena100]

maybe i shouldnt have said anything i can feel a told you so i told you so from you guys coming very soon:rolleyes:

[Castlebest]

Saying Nawt here well done Phil !!!

 

Now write to the court manager and cancel your claim lol

 

pete

[Pliny the Penuriosus]

Surley their delay has added further interest has it not!

 

If you decide not to claim additional interest I would certainly apply in writing to the court for wasted costs on the grounds that their behaviour has been unreasonable & an abuse of process

[lateralus]

i'll say it -

 

TOLD YOU SO..............

 

well done, i'm very pleased that you got it before the hearing - yes, be sure to cancel the hearing and write to the court to halt the claim..

yippee!!!

[freakyleaky]

I'll say it too -

TOLD YOU SO............

 

congratulations, well done, happy spending!!!!!

I am absolutely made up for you. I can relax on my hols now!!! :-) :-) 8-)

[Philomena100]

oh dear i was afraid to come back on this post to see all the told you so and shaking of heads!:o:o

i will write my letter today to the court to cancel that hearing thing thankyou all guys pliny,laterauls,castlebest,freaky and co

 

i wonder how long this site will be around for do you think these refunds of bank charges will ever come to and end? or will people keep claiming for years to come?

 

earlier on i had aproblem getting on this site so i just googled bank charges and i was sooo shocked to see that there are now soooo many websites dedicated to filling your claim for you etc when i first started they wasnt that many now there are tons of them popping up

 

god if i can mange to do it then i really dont see why the average joe at home cant do it alone
