so desperate for some help and guidance!

[lateralus]

and if things go according to history - as with liz - you post your stuff and full offer came the next day - what i think we should do is you post on here when you've sent yours off - let's figure the due date: 2 april, right?

3-4 days after you send it off - you ring the court to see if they have sent theirs in. i believe that they won't have and at that point - if you haven't already heard from dg - i've got a letter already brewing in my brain to send to them along the lines of "i've sent mine in, you haven't, where's my offer" well, a bit more but that's the gist. i'm betting you are about 1 week away from all your money in an offer - anybody think we can add on prep time or whatever?

nearly, nearly there - glad everyone jumped in to help.

and sugarthief - you are a star!

 

 

just noticed sugarthief, at the end of post no.3 in the new strategy - GaryH has asked peeps who have had the draft order made a direction to let him know -it's at the very end of post 3.

take a look.

Excellent work all round.

There will have been a deadline set for the bundle...you can call the court on that day,although the court only asks that exchanges are for evidence that is to be relied on.

Barclays do not usually follow up on this......they simply say that they have already submitted everything in their original defence submissions.......but as Barclays claimants know.......they dont bother because they KNOW it will make little difference.

Well! A massive THANK YOU!!! To all of you that have guided me through this and encouraged me too! Everything was posted off this morning to the solicitors and the court and i am soooooo relieved its all over!!! I didn't realise how stressed i was until i walked out of the post office today and realised i have my time back to myself without having to have my brain fried with all this stuff!!!!

So THANKS again to all of you, and watch this space now.. i shall update as soon as i hear anything!! I hope its soon!!! lol

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!! :-D

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

you're welcome you're welcome you're welcome you're welcome

yes, let us know soon as you hear anything - check with the courts 3-4 days after the deadline to ask if they have submitted theirs - this does two things - lets you know you can start needling them and reminds the court that they haven't done their bit (which i don't think they will have done) and starts the process against them.

[sugarthief]

hello! Well I rang the court a day or 2 after the deadline for my paperwork to be in, and they had received it ok.. i know DG received theirs too as i tracked it on royal mail site.. at the time, DG had not sent anything in to the court but i noticed on my order from the court that i had 28 days to send in all what they asked - which i did, and DG had 28 THEREAFTER to send in theirs.. i am presuming they have got 28 days after my deadline which was 2nd April, so they still have a while yet if this is the case.

Does anyone recommend anything i should do now, or should i just sit and wait still? I am getting impatient now! lol not heard anything as yet from DG

[MCBIRNIE25]

Sugarthief. Just got my court date and stuff. So will be preparing soon.

Wanted to send you best wishes.

[sugarthief]

thank you very much mcbirnie! I wish you lots of luck too!

I am just sitting waiting.. i have a baby due in august and moving house around that time too.. so am really counting on getting my money!! fingers crossed for us all!

[sugarthief]

well still heard nothing with my claim since i sent all the court bundle etc to court and DG.. I really thought i would have heard from the DG by now with an offer/settlement...... is this normal? My deadline for having all the stuff into court was 2nd April.. my court date is in June.. I am getting really worried now

especially after hearing that someone here sent their court bundle off and got a full settlement within a few days.. i am off on holiday on monday for a week.. i am so hoping i have something by then, 30th april is DG's deadline to have all their stuff into the court.

anyone else got to this stage with HSBC an d have any advice to offer? thanks!

[lateralus]

it still will not go to court.

i'm uncertain why their date to submit the bundle was so much later than yours. probably they asked for a stay or extra time.

i think if you are off on monday for a week -- it's pretty well set for you what to do - leave it til then - when you return - ring the court and ask if they have submitted their paperwork or not - then (if they haven't and they won't have) ask the person at the court what happens next (they will probably tell you the judge will issue an unless order - unless they file it by xx/xx/xx, their defence will be struck out.

but regardless of what they say (and you very well may have an offer waiting when you return) if you haven't heard from dg - on the 30th or the 1st - write them a letter.

New---after 28 Days - Maybe No Aq!!!!!!! (1 2 3 4 5 ... Last Page) When you have filed your AQ................ (1 2 3 4 5 ... Last Page)

 

post 1 in both of those threads has a template nudge letter for you to use - just start it with what you know -

i understand from the courts that as of xx/xx/xx, you have (have not) filed your required information with the court. then go on to say how very disappointed you are not to have heard from them - how you require xxxx to halt your claim, how you are sure the courts will appreciate you two trying to resolve this without them, how you are just sitting here waiting for them to be in touch, etc. and then send it.

this ominous silence from you (and them) for the next week should prod them into action. if an offer comes while you are away - it will wait until you return - it's only a week.

i'm sure you'll be out buying baby stuff in a couple of weeks with your money. hang tough - have a nice holiday - forget about everything for a week.

[sugarthief]

hi! thanks for that! I am back from holiday now.. raring to go! lol I have just rang the court and they have informed me that the defendant has not submitted their papers.. I asked what this meant now and she said it means they have nothing to rely upon in court now, and that i just have to wait till my court date! So! I think I am going to write a letter to DG now and see what happens next!

thanks ever so much for your help, and if i should know anything beforehand, please let me know! lol thanks again! xx

[lateralus]

just take a look at post one on both those threads i put above - each has ideas for letters to dg. my best advice is a nudge letter every 10 days until they make an offer. use your own words and put in what the woman said - i.e. speaking to the court I have been told that while my information has been received - yours has not. I am sure you realise this leaves you in an untenable position regards any further court hearings. then the I would accept....... from the template letter.

just word it and reword it to suit. you'll do fine. i bet your offer isn't far away. send a breakdown with each nudge.
