Just spoke to the court admin and although I am only catching the drift of what the judge has said it has been allocated to the small claims track and she thinks the earliest court date they can give me is OCTOBER !!! she was lovely and said she would try to fit me in before then if poss but I cannot believe it is going to be stretched out that far!!!!!! feel like crying to be honest, I started this in November so it is going to be a year in total if not more and when I have looked all over this site at success stories I cannot find any that have gone that long:(

 

I have just tried to log onto the CAG chat but the link is not there o cannot even get advice there, anyone help, I know I shouldn't be relying on getting this back to pay off bills etc to make life a little easier but I have to say I was thinking it would be 2 months at the most, very most, anyone offer any advice!!!????!!!!

 

PLEASE!!!!

Chat is currently suspended at the moment due to a security breach

 

There are so many people claiming back charges that courts are becoming clogged up with small claims. Fingers crossed that hopefully you won't have to wait that long.

Regrettably this bank do seem to take longer than most, so don't rely on it. You will get your money back, but it will take time. Luckily you seem to have found a sympathetic court official, so I suggest that you phone every few weeks to see if they have a cancellation. I wouldn't do it more often or they may get fed up of you and not co-operate.

Thanks for the help an advice as always XXX

 

Is the chat room likely to be reopened? what a shame if not its really really helpful and a mind full of information!

Hi all!!!

 

Got notice of Allocation to the small claims track (hearing).

 

The hearing of the claim will take place at 10.00 on the 7 August 2007.

 

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court offices copies of all documents (including any experts' report) on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than 14 days before the hearing. Such documents shall include copies of any statutory provisions and reported cases relied upon.

 

The agreed documents shall be brought to the hearing.

 

I am assuming this is the court bundle, can anyone clarify what that includes so I am clear, also can I ask to include the peter mcnamara comments and also the Cynthesis info, (where can I find these)??

 

Am I better doing this sooner rather than later I know it says no later than 14 days before however I was hoping as the other side have to agree (I think) to what I am submitting to the hearing that hearing I am bringing this kind of damning evidence just might spurr them on to settle sooner, Or would the court not forward this information to them until 14 days before anyway???

 

Any advice would be much appreciated dont want to get it wrong at this stage.

 

Really missing the chat room, been trying to look for the thread from Bankfodder about it but cannot find it, anyone else managed it???

Yes they are talking about the court bundle. I'm sending mine in before the 14 day deadline. You have to send YB a copy of the court bundle yourself. I've included a transcript of the Peter Mcnamara interview which can be found in the Cuttings and Soundfiles Library. I've not included anything to do with the CyntheSis info as that came to light after I had started my case.

 

The announcement from BF can be found on the start page of every forum... It's highlighted in pink writing.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

Looked in the court bundle today, oh my god it looks daunting!

 

Just for clarity anyone, the link the court bundle takes you to is 40 pages long is that the one I have to print and there is a link off that relating to charges for credit cards do I add that???? and also should I include the cynthesis stuff is that relevant to me as I started the case before it came to light????

 

Any ideas on the personnal stuff I need to add also would be much appreciated

Wondering if someone could help

 

My dad died last week and I just do not have the heart or the head to carry on with this, I have got in touch with the bank and asked them to resend the last offer they made me full amount without interest, they have sent and I am going to sign the offer letter but they also want me to sign a notice of discontinuence, I dobnt think from what I have read on here I should do they, any advice about how I should handle this would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

As long as you are happy with the offer then it is fine to sign the Notice. The Notice is a form that is sent to the court which formally ends the litigation.

[bankchargesnotus]

Thanks again

So sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure no words will make you feel better, but my thoughts are with you, as I'm sure are those of many other CAGgers.

 

It is entirely your choice if you want to settle now, and I understand you have enough to deal with now, but might I suggest that you leave the decision for a little while until your loss is a little less new and raw.

 

Could I also point out that even once you agree to settle, YB are slow sending cheques in settlement so tell them you'll send the discontinuance notice to the court yourself when you have the money, and don't send it to them as they usually ask.
