Halifax - Have acknowledged my claim

[ahares]

Hello

I have sent the court claim to the Halifax which they have now acknowledged. Has anyone else been in this position? Is there anything that I should be doing? They now have the 28 days to defend or make an offer. I really would appreciate any help

Hi, Halifax 'Acknowledge' all claims and say that they intend to defend all of the claim.

 

They will either make you an offer or just not respond for 28 days, at which point you can get a judgement by default.

 

I started the claim through MCOL and called them after a couple of weeks to make sure they had received the schedule of charges and to remind them that time was ticking. I spoke to legal services who had lost the details of my claim and had not matched it up with the court papers. They said they would write to me in a few days and 'would a cheque be ok?'

 

I didnt hear back so called again the following week and they apologised for forgetting to write to me. They again said that they would organise payment and write to me.

 

Still nothing after another week. The 28 days eventually run out so I went for judgement by default, which was granted. Halifax have no promised to pay into my bank within 3 days.

 

If they don't the bailiffs are going in soon!

 

I think they (like all the other banks) are flooded with claims and are struggling to keep track of them all so its probably worth a phone call to chase them up - phone customer relations on 01383 743354 and they should be able to put you through to whoever in legal svcs is dealing with your case once you give them the details and court reference number.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply.

 

I must say that I am getting worried. I have not heard anything from the Halifax at all since they acknowledged the claim.

 

The 28 days is up for them next week. I was going to call them but all of the numbers that are on the site just ring continuosly or are dead. I also tried emailing, no response to that either.

 

I read somewhere that Halifax only pay on a Monday? Do you know if this is true?

 

I hope there is an end to this soon. My brother has just had an offer from NAT WEST. He claimed £3,000 and they have offered £1,700 which I advised him to refuse.
