Microdotster-vs-Abbey *IVE WON!, IVE WON!*

[Microdotster]

Ive just realised that Abbey still havent even acknowledged the claim that I have served on them. They only have 14 days to do this, which ends on 28/03/07. You never know, I might just catch them out eh?

 

Has anyone got an answer to the above posts BTW? Please?

[Microdotster]

Damn it! They acknowledged my claim today, theyve got 28 days now FFS!

[Microdotster]

Does anyone know which solicitor acts for Abbey, as they have acknowledged but I havent had the form through from the court yet. Also any contact details please? Also a question to those who have *WON* who does the final offer come from?

Microdotster, short answer - as far as I know there isn't one. Long answer - they outsourced all the legal until about Sep/Oct 06 when they obviously decided it was a waste of money and Master Arrandale ("Legal Officer" and friends started running it in-house from Try-It-On House. Don't know who the suits were ambushed GlennUK but his claim was trickier than most : >6yrs and default removal. Regards, Mad Nick

Thanks for your help Nick.

Just checked my MCOL, Abbey have entered a defence, also got a letter saying about their defence particulars. The MCOL says that i am being allocated a court etc now....

!!!!OH MY GOD!!!!

!!!IVE WON!!!

Heres the story:

I sent a letter to Abbey on 13/04/07 (Triton square) to tell them that i have noted that my claim has now been transferred from MCOL to my local county court. I told them that I was very dissapointed that they had failed to settle my claim. I reminded them of how my claim was broken down and that the courts were aware that they have failed to take a single case to court. I told them that there has been several similar cases where the judge has considered striking out the defence on the grounds of an abuse of process. I said that i felt that continuing this claim would be a waste of our time and their money. I put it to them that I would accept a slightly lower offer (£11.00 less!) than my claim total to bring the matter to an end. I also reminded them the if they wanted to continue the claim further costs would be incurred, including £100 allocation questionaire fee, interest which is accruing daily and that if they were to insist on taking it to the point where a court bundle would be required that i would be charging them £9.50/hr for the work involved.

 

Well I recieved a letter from them today stating:

Congratulations indeed, tell me, did you file for charges over 6 years in the end? and if not why not? they have no defence for this, so if you didnt this can form the basis of your second claim LOL

 

Enjoy and dont forget to pay your mum back first
