All,

 

So far I have attempted to get an offer (of anything at the moment), just so I know DG at least know I exist - Thus far, letter once a week, phonecalls (no answer obviously), emails and faxes - ALL of which do NOT get an answer.

 

I am going to start banging head against a wall soon as will no doubt get more response.

 

 

Why dont you go down there & bang their heads off wall, much less painful and a sight more fun.

Dont know if will help claim , but you will feel better for it !

 

If Any consolation my claim went in march 20th and only thing i had back is letter from court moving to local and request today for summary of charges which i sent a week ago, so rang them and they found it, wonder if that means a judge is going to look at it (IT did have a judges name on it so its allocated )

Going to send nudge over weekend and remind them they also owe me another £100 AQ fee.

Hi I'm in much the same position, I have wrote and emailed Kate Eaves of DG every 10 days and she completely ignores me, My claim has been moved from Newport to Cardiff County court and I'm now concidering asking the new district Judge to order directions as per some of the other threads

I've had a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings to Cardiff Civil Justice Centre - is this the same as county court?

[lateralus]

probably the same sort of thing - local and small stuff - is cardiff very far?

[dee1954]

About 20 mins by car - Pontypool Court is 2 mins walk! As I hopefully? won't end up in court shouldn't make a lot of difference.

[lateralus]

that's true - did you read this...BBC NEWS | Business | Judge attacks 'time-wasting' bank

[dee1954]

I know very tempting - did she make a separate claim for this? Have you got a link for her thread re this?

[lateralus]

actually there is one - but that wasn't my point - it was the number of cases scheduled and how many actually went to the court....

 

Wasted Costs order

[dee1954]

I know - I can undersand the rationale behind hoping some people won't be bothered to persue claims initially but once a claim has been submitted to court do they really think anyone will give up? Perhaps the courts should calculate how much it has costed them to deal with these claims knowing the banks have no intention to go all the way??

[lateralus]

agree absolutely

[querkyone]

ALL, Movement at long last!

Just had a call from wife at home and post arrived - with a lovely letter from the local court.

 

Request to have Stay set aside is granted and a court date of 5th June 2007 is set.

 

Using this as a big bat to hit DG with, I have immediately sent of a BIG nudge, to say give me an offer......... it reads:

 

"

Rachel,

As you are no doubt aware, Judge Singleton of Gloucester County Court has ordered the previously ordered Stay to be lifted and set a court date of 5th June 2007.

 

In a final attempt to resolve this matter prior to 'wasting' the court's time, I would ask that you give this matter your utmost attention and provide me with an offer of full and final settlement.

 

I am willing to accept an offer of £4754.00 in full and final settlement of the claim. Please respond with your willingness to offer me this amount. Only when cleared funds are in my account will I instruct the courts to cancel this claim.

 

Best Regards

Querky"

 

How long do you think before I have an offer?????

I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel now

 

Querky

[querkyone]

Anyone want to have a little flutter on how long it will take DG to make an offer.

 

Today is 14th May.

Court Date 5th June.

 

They have 22 days (Including today) until they have to turn up in court (which they will not) or make me an offer and me to accept with cleared funds........

 

I'm gonna have a punt on 10 days from today! Go on, have a go..........

[Celicaman]

Ok, my bet is its 21.5 days

What odds you giving, im putting £5 on seeing a flying pig before id put it on 10 days LOL

CM

[querkyone]

Fair point.

 

I think it may be a bit earlier - more in hope I should add.

Odds of 21.5 days? I'll give you 50/1 on! So on £5, you'll get

10p back - is it worth it?

 

Querky

[lateralus]

querky - you have done well !!!! not quite there but getting the stay set aside is a triumph for common sense - and you did it!!!!

 

you dog - you've got the 24th and i'd have taken the 25th as i like fridays for dg and this friday is pushing it but i don't want to be one day off yours - so, i'll throw caution to the wind and pick the 22nd! what you giving for then?

[querkyone]

Now there's a question for a young red-blooded male Lats......

 

Well maybe not quite so young as I used to be, but hey, it all works ;-)

 

Querky

[Celicaman]

Fair point.

 

I think it may be a bit earlier - more in hope I should add.

Odds of 21.5 days? I'll give you 50/1 on! So on £5, you'll get

10p back - is it worth it?

 

Querky

 

 

Every Penny ;-)

 

It'll be the best lose ive had if you get it earlier

[Castlebest]

Hmm flying pigs eh ? (looks at lattie) well done Querky, I love it when a plan comes together YEAH !!!!

 

Ill go for the 21st, gives you a week to accept their offer and them 10 days to get the money into your account... we will see

[querkyone]

OFFER Received.........

 

Not quite what I had in mind either - it is approx £550 short.....

As they say due to Statue of Limitations blah blah blah.

 

I am rejecting and going after full amount.

If they had given it when I first asked, the limitations wouldn't come into it so I feel they can whistle for me accepting their offer.

 

QUESTION: Does anyone know a number for DG which WILL be answered?

All numbers I have go to voicemail and I have yet to get a response from any means........... other than this offer after approx 5 months!

 

Querky

[jowalshy]

Hi Querky. I e-mailed Kate Eaves and someone at DG replied that day.

[querkyone]

Response to offer sent:

 

"

ALL,

Further to my recent email/letter/phonecalls, which I am still awaiting comment on,

I wish to inform you of my intention of REJECTING your offer received this morning.

You offer of £xxxx.xx makes absolutely no sense. Could you please provide me with

information on how you have reached this amount???

Further to your claim of certain charges being outside the Statue of Limitations, which I

deny. I feel your client has been both secretive and dishonest in the manner in which these

charges have been applied to my account and I could not have known their unlawfulness

until the reports and subsequent media coverage over the past year.

I feel I have a strong case and indeed feel a Judge will agree with all my arguments.

As I have stated numerous times, I will accept a FULL offer in this case only, which as

of today, this amounts to an offer from yourselves of £xxxx. I do NOT agree to your

clauses of confidentiality, nor do I agree to any such terms or conditions you may place

on any such offer.

If you wish me to agree to such conditions, please make me an offer so I may feel obliged

to agree to such terms.

I would appreciate a call today on either of the two numbers below to confirm receipt

of this email and also discuss how you intend to resolve this matter.

Best Regards.........."

Good luck Querky

[querkyone]

Absolutely diddly squat from calls/emails/faxes today - what a surprise

 

Roll on 5th June

[maangov]

Good luck querky,

 

I followed the advice on this thread when i recieved the exact same from gloucester county court. I too have heard nothing from DG despite emails/faxes/calls daily. I went to the court to submit my application to have stay set aside. They want £85! The confusion was over i was asking for it to be set aside, or wether i was objecting to the judges order.

 

In the end i agreed it was an objection to the order, not a request to have it set aside.

 

Here's hoping its granted, whatever its called!

 

Good luck

 

MA
