jailbird -v- HSBC

[nettyg]

it's quite a long wait now until they defend so start reading up on the next phase, and other people's threads so you get an idea of what may/may not happen.

[jailbird]

Hi, me again.

 

DG filed notice of acknowledgement on 30th April indicating that they are going to defend. Do I count the 28days from then or from notice of issue when it was demed served on 26th april ? So will the time be up on 24th or 28th ?

 

Also do I ring the court then and find out what is happening?

 

Sorry to be thick.........its my turn again !

 

Chris

[pinkduchess]

28 days from 26 April - so its 24th May

 

no point in ringing the court - defence will be filed most likely very near the end of the 28 days then its up to the judge to give directions.

 

this is the waiting bit & a trifle boring but the clocks ticking. hang in there

[jailbird]

Thanks so much PD. So I just sit still and wait eh ?

 

Never mind keep looking at other threads to keep me going.

 

Many thanks

 

Chris

Hello everyone, I'm back again.

 

Got Defence from Court this morning, It was filed on 21st May and I have to complete the allocation question and return it before 11th June. This is Preston County Court.

 

Going to look at A & Q threads.

 

Is it time to send nudge letter ?

 

Chris

[jowalshy]

Yep.. nudge away. Just send a nudge every 10 days or so.

[lateralus]

chris, you've got me baffled calling it a 152 - i only know of a 149 and 150 - but let's assume it's the 150 - here's the old aq info:

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.

 

i've written 2 threads to do with this time after the defence is filed - so look at both - post 1 of each gives ideas for nudge letters to dg.

 

did you send them (dg) a copy of your breakdown and the court one too - if not - do that now as well.

 

the aq thread links are in my signature -

get back if you don't understand anything.

[jailbird]

Thanks latty. Told you my head had gone........ it is a N150.

 

Think I will put it away tonight and try again tomorrow. Perhaps head will be better then !

 

Hugs

[jailbird]

Hi Latty

 

Feeling better now and hopefully got my head round the allocation questionnaire. Its is not due back to court until 11/6/07 so when do you think I should take it and send details to DG ?

 

Thanks

 

Chris

[lateralus]

to me it serves no purpose to do it too early - but on the other hand that was my advice when they were making offers about the same time as it was due - which is old hat now - with most courts dispensing with the aq - it's questionable whether they will do that now -

so, my best advice - send dg a letter tomorrow - there's one nearly like what you want in the nudges - that's post 1 of both my aq threads in my signature - you want one to say hi guys, i'm about to send off my aq as directed by the court - but if i do - it's gonna cost you an extra £100 to settle this claim so how's about making me an offer before it's due to save costs and time - i'm sure there's one nearly like that - just tweak it a bit

tell them what day it is due (theirs is due the same day - no good hoping they will miss it as the judge gives them extra time - this is just a ploy to see if they will make an offer early) and send a breakdown (if your claim is for less than 1500 then you don't have to pay so just don't refer to the fee).

then, who knows you might hear from them - if not - take the aq in about 7-8 june.

 

and then write to dg again with a courtesy copy of your aq - well or wait until the 12thto write, - ring the court to see if they've put one in and then write another nudge to them with a breakdown and aq.

[jailbird]

Thanks latty. I sent a nudge letter (one of yours) today recorded delivery. You never know.

 

Will do as you advise and take papers into court next week.

 

Many thanks again for all your help.......you really are a saint.

[Russjo]

Wow, there is so much information on this thread! Keep going jailbird, you're nearly there. I'm watching with baited breath as I'll be following you shortly

[jailbird]

Hi Russjo, Thanks for your vote of confidence....there are times when it is needed. I would not have got this far without Latty, Pete, Netty ect. They have given me the balls to carry on. Hope all goes well for you. Where are you up to ? If I can help in any way just let me know.

 

On a lighter note .....booked a flight to Corfu on sunday so off on 15th for a week. Will b able to switch off for a week.

 

Chris

fight the good fight

[jailbird]

Hi Jamesrap,

 

Thanks for the link but I am just about to return the allocation questionnaire. Have I missed something or do I need the link for another part of this claim ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chris

[lateralus]

no, you're ok - i do the same - read quickly and get wrong end of stick.

[Russjo]

Hiya Jailbird,

I'm still waiting for bank statements from one, Letter before action on others. Playing the waiting game at the moment. Enjoy your trip to Corfu and make sure you do switch off. You never know I might have a stack of questions waiting for you when you get back ha ha

Jo

[jailbird]

Hi Russjo

 

Dont go till the 15th so I am hoping I will have heard something by then.......if its only sod off !

 

Joking apart, I will send my allocation questionnaire back 7/8th like latty said and wait so see what happens.

 

Latty......thanks for that I was beginning to think ' oh s...' what have I missed. I told my head has been everywhere this last week. Spent 31/2 hours with the ombudsman last friday:-o :?

 

Chris

[lateralus]

you need that break!

[jailbird]

Latty your right I do but if the last week is anything to go by I will sit there on the beach crying !!

 

Well at least I'll look good.....the gucci glasses will hide the red eyes !

Think a couple of large glasses of village wine will be in order

 

chris

[lateralus]

like doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc. you do a hard job and i'm sure that was a terrible experience for you - just have to try to get passed it - some sun and sand and tropical drinks will help!

[jailbird]

[freakyleaky]

Sorry I can't help with your question JB but I'd just like to wish you good luck at the same time as bumping your question back to the top. I am off to my local court today to deliver the dreaded bundle!

[jailbird]

Thanks freaky. Just need to know that I have enclosd everything I need. Don't want to **** up at this stage ! Hope all goes well with you. Really thought you would have heard by now but never mind ..........go get em.

[jailbird]

Hi

 

Just wondered if I could run this past someone...........

 

As you know I am just about to put my defence in (when someone helps me check it -see earlier post) but been reading some links on benefits being taken from accounts that make people over drawn. So ..........

 

Could I add S. 187 of Social Security Act 1992 (c.5) to my defence ?

 

Thoughts anyone ??
