It is advisable at this stage to copy everything to the court. I didn't know Tom was on GMTV this morning - have you looked on the web?

Hi Steven, I just caught the end of the interview when they were thanking him for appearing on GMTV, how frustrating was that:mad: Went straight on GMTV website, I couldn't find anything about the interview, I hope they put it on soon, I'm bursting! Thanks again for advice. Potty

[steven4064]

I looked on the GMTV website too. Couldn't find that but found an interview about the Birmingham case. Talk about getting your facts wrong!!!! Turned it off in disgust.

Good morning all, I just received a letter from Courts, I have got a prelim hearing on 6 July, they have only allowed 5 mins. This will be brief, good morning and good bye. Letter reads:

 

Please Note: This case may be released to another Judge, possibly at a different Court.

Cases are listed in accordance with local hearing arrangements determined by the judiciary and carried out by Court staff.

In some instances a case may be released to another Judge possibly at a different Court. If your case is to be heard at a different Court you will be notified accordingly. Therefore please ensure that the court has a telephone number on which you may be contacted during Court office hours.

 

This is just my luck, I was the only person not complaining about the delays, well here we are! Does this mean that the Judge has ruled out the Draft Order for Directions? Help, I'm not even a lay rep yet, just got the leaflet. Priorities, I did buy lots of wine, I think I'm going to need it. Potty.

[Parkvale]

No need to worry. They are just inundated with claims and are informing you of their option to move you case if they so desire. Don't be surprised if they don't use the draft directions and use their own. The courts are a law to themselves . You will here in due course their next move. You are getting nearer and nearer to pay day. So relax and have a little read up to be prepared. Good luck.http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/guidance-notes/64911-got-court-date-guide.html#post553523

[pot plant]

Thanks Parkvale, I will be reading all I can, I have got a ton of notes already, must put them in some sort of order. Can the Judge deny a lay rep if he chooses? Potty.

[Parkvale]

I am not sure, but i doubt it. When you go to court inform the court clerk of your intentions straight away. Or even better give the court a ring and ask them the procedure for a lay rep Good luck.

Good morning all, I have been very busy gathering all the info preparing for the prelim hearing on 6 July. I wrote to Cobbetts and Nasty West on 5th June requesting the T & Cs for both the Advantage Gold and Current Account Plus giving them 14 days to reply. Its now been 17 days and no reply. Can I apply to the courts to have the case struck out as they have not replied within a reasonable time limit? I also sent the court a copy of both letters so they are aware of my request. Can anyone help with the legal jargon I should use when writing to the court to have the case struck out if that is possible? Thanks Potty.

[pot plant]

Good afternoon all, can anyone advise about whether or not I can apply to have the case struck out because cobbetts did not reply within 14 days as requested. Thanks Potty.

[Michael Browne]

.

 

If they had been directed by the court to supply the informatiom, then yes.

 

But you can't have their defence struck out simply because they didn't reply to a letter

[pot plant]

Michael thanks for reply but what a shame. When Cobbetts wrote to me they gave me 14 days to reply or they would apply to have the case struck out, so I thought it should be the same if they do not reply to my letter. My request was for the T & C's, can you advise what I should do now? Thanks Potty.

[steven4064]

Write to Cobbetts, telling them that you made the request under CPR PRe-ACtion Protocol 4.6©, copied to the court. You will probably find they reply by retuen of post

Thanks Michael for the reply. When Cobbetts wrote to me they gave me 14 days to reply or they would apply to court to have the case struck out, not fair I can't do the same. What can I do now as my request was for T & Cs? Thanks Potty.

[pot plant]

Sorry about posting twice. MISTAKE!

[Michael Browne]

Have a look through this thread:

[pot plant]

Thanks Steven will do for the second time.

[steven4064]

The trouble with that thread Michael is that there are ohnly three lots of T&Cs on it - 2001 buisiness, 2002 and 2006 personal.

Thanks Michael, I have printed these but I thought they had been updated and the contents had changed since 2000. I do not have the originals as the account was closed in 2005 and all paperwork burned.

Good Morning Caggers, I have turned into a serial Postman Stalker hoping and waiting for my big fat cheque. Great news to see all the settled cases, can't wait to join the list but sadly for me the battle continues. I have got the Prelim hearing on Friday and would be grateful of some advice. Firstly my son has to take the day off work and we all know that Cobblers won't turn up, can I mention to the judge about abuse of the court process? Also what can I do about claiming wasted costs, I know I can't claim this until after the case but can I threaten them beforehand about my intention? Does anyone know how the judge is likely to react to the defence not attending? When will the court be notified about Cobblers absence in court? Any ammunition welcome. Thanks Potty.

Hi potty, have a look through this thread here as it explains the various court hearings and everything you'll need to take with you (including the prelim) GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages. With the wasted costs, you need to have a look here Wasted costs order

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/85726-wasted-costs-order.html?highlight=wasted+costs+order+template I imagine the court won't realistically even expect cobbetts to turn up - you won't actually know this though until the day.

 

Have a really good read through the first thread that I've given you above as this has some great tips on what to expect at the hearing.

 

Good luck x:)

Hi Hedgey, Thanks for the reply and congratulations on your promotion. VIP now. My request for T & C's was ignored by Cobblers but Nat West sent a letter to say they dealing with my request! How should I notify the courts of this deliberate delaying tactic so close to Prelim day. I am the type of person that will chew the judges ear off and I know I have to show restraint BUT IT IS SOOOOO difficult. I don't want the judge to miss out on any important information, my son will be taking the muzzle! Should I type a letter or just mention it during my allocated 5 mins. Ha ha, I bet we overrun. I just hope for everyone's sake they make me an offer before friday. Thanks Potty.

[hedgey06]

Hi potty, take your T&C request letter plus the letter you received from nat west that says they're dealing with it. Read the thread I linked for you really carefully as well - this will help you to prepare. And don't worry!!!

 

And thanks................ but I'm definitely no VIP......... still just hedgey! xx

[pot plant]

Hedgey, thanks for the reply. I have read the thread GOT A COURT DATE, and printed off the information I need. Allocation hearing witness statement, Draft order for Directions, reasons why they should be ordered but the statement of evidence is causing some concern. At the end of the statement where it says documents attatched in support of this statement - where do I get this info from? The OFT report for April 2006, House of Commons early day motion etc Is all this required for a 5 min hearing? Do I have to take 3 copies with me? Thanks Potty

[pot plant]

Hi all, not in my wildest dreams did I think I would win, I know lots of you have but I am not the type of person that has any luck or ever wins anything. But guess what I WON, WON, WON, ME I WON. I WON I WON I WON I WON. Just getting rid of some excitement. I haven't even read the full letter yet, just the bid about gesture of goodwill and the cheque is enclosed. I want to thank everyone for their support, without you I would never have got this far. Hedgey, Steven, Parkvale, Michael and Fendy(where ever you are?) and everyone else for their useful threads. Donation will be on its way. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
