"Allocation questionnaire dispensed with"

[oakway44]

I have received a notice of transfer of proceedings and the line asking me to complete the allocation questionnaire has been crossed out and attached is a letter stating

"The filing of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case unless the District Judge at the court of transfer orders otherwise"

What does this mean for me to do ?

Should I contact the court direct ?(they have transferred it to Ilford County Court)

Should I wait for the court to contact me?

If anyone has any advice it would be gratefully be received !!!!

Thank you

[livelylad]

just wait for the court to contact you, the AQ has been dispensed with to speed up the process its nothing to worry about.

[oakway44]

Thank you very much.

The 28 days would have been up on Monday and I would have been able to issue a judgement BUT HSBC got the defence in at the last minute!!

Here's hoping I don't actually have to attend and they pay up at the last minute also.

Thanks again.

I dont know what the relevence the above post is to your question oakway, I would just ignore it as it may confuse you.

 

 

 

As to HSBC actually attending court, well, its very unlikely. To my knowledge, no bank has sat before a judge in a straightforward claim, and I dont think any of them want to (after all the hve paid out over £10 million to member of this site alone, and they havn't defended in court yet). Its just a case of patience, the offer will come, just remember you want 100% (plus any costs you have incurred need to be negotiated, postage, stationary, etc....plus the courts allow £9.25/hour for a person in preperation for court. as this is small claims your not automatically entitled to it, but it can be negotiated with the bank as a pre-court settlement, about 20 hours is fair. Not gauranteed, but worth a go).

 

Well done for getting this far, and best of luck

The post that James made does have relevance as he has posted a link to the MCOL thread by Michael which in turn has a link to the new strategy regarding the AQ being dispensed with.

I stand corrected, and feel I must apologise.

 

After pointing out my mistake, I decided I had better read all of the threads in James’ post and do you know what, after about an hour I made it to the MCOL link.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/site-questions-suggestions/71369-getting-mcol-right.html#post614610

 

(You may be forgiven if you didn’t read this, after all it doesn’t specify that it relates to AQ’s, but more fool you if you didn’t read it:roll: )

 

What an excellent thread by Michael, I followed it through, reading all the new links, and then another hour later I found the link you refer to,

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/78873-new-after-28-days.html

 

Another excellent read.

 

So now I feel terrible, as the original poster has trawled through 2 hours (maybe more) of irrelevant info, to get to the one thing he needs, and then to make matters worse I post my comments to make him read even more (and I didn’t even provide the link)

 

So, another apology. Sorry, Oakway, for wasting your time with my post when James had already got in there first with his excellent network of links.

 

By the way, the A-Z link in James post is also excellent, and should enable you to complete your claim without asking any more questions. I will of course keep an eye on your thread, and will help if I can, but promise not to waste anymore of your time.

 

Hopefully you will get a few more templated answers in the future, as they are definitely relevant and it doesn’t take too long to find something that relates to everything you may ever need to know.

 

Sorry once again to everyone, and good luck Oakway, although I doubt if you need any now.

Just had a thought, wasn't it a shame that James didn't just put the

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/78873-new-after-28-days.html

 

in a short post, leading Oakway straight to the answer to his question.

 

Actually, the more I think about it the stranger it seems, after all, we have to assume James knew it was there, otherwise there would have been no point making the post would there. I dont think he would have posted a load of useless links for no reason, would he? No, surely not.

 

Anyway, I digress, and dont mean to hi-jack the thread, so on with my point.

 

Has any of the advice given to you, Oakway, helped you make a decision as to what to do next? Please keep us posted as to whats happening, because I for one, AM interested in your claim and would like to see it through to a succesful conclusion:)

 

Continued best wishes

 

Louis

 

 

ps, is anyone else impressed with lively's detective work, I would never have found that link from anything posted before on this thread:-)

[oakway44]

Thank you everyone. I have decided to wait for the court to contact me and will let you know how it goes from there.

I have sat and read all the threads and printed off loads of useful info (just in case I am the one that goes to court!)

p.s. just for the record - I am female

Not that that will make any difference to the outcome of the claim !!!

[oakway44]

It is now a month since I received "Notice of Transfer of Proceedings" form and as I had not been contacted by the court, I decided to ring them.

I was informed that the case has been logged onto their system but they have not received the file from Nottingham!! The local court will now contact Nottingham and request copies of the file (more waiting) and once they have received them, will contact me!!!

[oakway44]

Eventually got my court date through. And today I went to court - Ilford County Court. Saw solicitors representative who queried whether I was going to accept "stay" or not. Obviously I said I wasn't so we went in !! Had a deputy judge who doesn't usually sit at that court so said he would go by the "usual practice" of this court. He wasn't even going to hear my case as all he was there for was to let me know about the usual practice of the court!!! Consequently, after taking the afternoon off work, had all my papers prepared, got my questions, the deputy judge said that in this court, on this type of claim, the usual practice is to put this through to a "block list" where another judge, on another day (more time off work for me) would see about a dozen claimants for the same thing and all we could do was go home and wait for Ilford to contact us "sometime in the future". I actually rang the court this morning to see if it was worth attending with all the discussions regarding this "stay" that the banks are requesting and they said that yes the case was being heard ! What a waste of time. Has anyone else been through this nonsense ?

[livelylad]

I have moved this thread to the HSBC forum.

 

Do they mean that your case will proceed or the application for the stay?

[oakway44]

Thank you.

The answer is "I don't know". The solicitor said they had sent the court a letter for an application for the stay on 8th Aug (Sat - 2 days prior to my court date) but obviously it hadn't gone through the system on Monday. It sounded like the court will hear the case but in a block of several claimants, whether this is by bank or amount or what I don't know, but I am hoping it will proceed. Will keep you informed.
