Hi all well at last things seem to be moving a little bit anyway, an allocations questionaire came through my door this morning and has got to be back in by 17th july. Ive been really good and read up on how to fill it in etc just wondered what tends to happen now is it a waiting game again????

Nicky:?

[j.barton1]

Hi all ive been eagerly reading all the threads and the news as to whats been happening with those who have had their court date and it seems that at least things are moving again! Seems so long since any one has won a case or even got further than just a court date:) Well done all of you!!!!

I telephoned my local court today (Leicester) as i have heard nothing and was told that an allocation questionaire would most likely be sent out to me within the next week or so! so i guess not every court has got rid of them.

So i ll carry on twiddling my thumbs i guess and reading threads.

My claim has also been transfered to Leicester, but on the Notice of Transfer it stated that the AQ had been dispensed with. Though it did say that the DJ at Leics may still request one.

 

Oh no, thught we had ot away with filling one in!

 

Will be calling the court tomorrow to see if I need to pay the AQ fee. Have done Draft Order for Directions & covering letter to Leics CC and also nudge letter to Wragge & Co, for all the good it may do!

 

We must be at about the same stage?

 

Keep in touch and we'll hold each other up!

Hi jmn

My notice of transfer said the same thing but when i spoke to a gentleman at the court he asked how much my claim was for and when i told him £5000+ he said the judge would more than likely request one! so if your claim is for less you may not have to fill one in:)

I spoke to them yesterday too and they told me that there is a good couple of weeks back log, so even when i send this questionaire back ive still got to wait a few weeks til i receive a court date.

Any one know if i need to get any paper work ready to send with it, ive sent copies of my charges to both the court and to wraggs but unsure if i need to send anything else with the questionaire??

 

Good luck jmn keep me posted:D

It used to the case that, if your claim was over £1,500, you had to fill in an AQ, if below, you did not. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but always wise to ring the court and ask out of courtesy, plus you normally have only 14 days to pay it. It's also a good idea to make contact with the court, as you'll probably have to ring them again a number of times.

[allen0601]

:| seem to be having bother filling out this allocations questionaire, in section f do i just send a copy of my charges? if so should i include what there for i.e failed direct debit?

Thanks minijane was folowing that link just got myself a little mixed up but all sorted now. I handed in my AQ at the court today and when i got home i found i had been sent a copy of A&L's AQ bloody hell they were quick i only recieved mine the other day! one good thing though i found out i dont have to pay the fee as im a student and recieve certain benefits. The nice clerk did tell me there was a back log so would most likely be early august til i hear back from them. Does anyone think i should start getting my court bundle together now (not even sure how to do that but he) or hold off??

In reply to my 1st nudge letter I posted Tues, I rec'd a offer yesterday(3rd one!). How quick was that?? though not accepting, mind you it was £300 more than the last one, so they are going in the right direction.

My claim is for £2222.12 inc interest so there's no telling if I will rec' AQ, probably!

I ought to advise them of my holidays in Sept as it looks as though it will be around that time when I can expect a court date.

 

How are you doing.............emotionally & mentally??

[allen0601]

Hi Jmn yes think we will both be lucky if we get a court date before sept! lol. Both mentally and emotionally im shattered thanks how about you? between studying for my course and studying for this bloody claim my brain is shot! But no matter what im not giving in!!!!

[allen0601]

Hi all just thought i would update everyone,

both mine and wragges AQ have been sent in and i guess its just a waiting game now for the judge to make a decision on a date.

When would you suggest would be a good time to send a nudge letter to wragges? Ive looked at some of them and thought that if i just altered them slightly as in pointing out that the actual amount of charges within the last six years is over £5500.00 not the £5000.00 that im claiming and that im also not claiming interest and would accept £5000.00 and let them off the court fees!

What does everyone think???????8-)

[j.barton1]

Hi Nicky, Hope you're okay. Its totally up to you, £5000 is real money but at the end of the day they are being ar**s lately and will they pay the lower figure anyway? All the money is rightfully yours and you dont want to lose out.

Jenny xxx

[jansus]

I agree - I had a few wobbles - but have just done one nudge letter for very slightly less - and thats it

 

I have seen Wragges take everyone nearly to the time limit when other banks are paying up earlier - so untill they actually defend a full case or something else happens I am sticking to my guns

 

Jan:)

[MimiJane]

Yep, agree with everyone. My "final" nudge letter was still asking for the full amount, but I'm holding out for "judgement by default" for Wragges not submitting their papers in time, so being brave (not stupidly I hope:rolleyes:).

 

Good luck

[allen0601]

Thanks mimijane, janus and jenny i will take your advice and stand my ground! all be it a little wobberly:|

Thanks for everyone s help and advice without it im sure i would have buckled by now

 

Nicky:)

[j.barton1]

Youre selling yourself short, you've got yourself this far...we've only helped a little. Well done you xx

[allen0601]

Hi everyone ive just rang the court to see if anything was happening with my claim to be told that ALL cases were now stayed until the result of the big case at court! came as a bit of a blow really as was hoping the a&l cases would still go ahead.

Any one know when this big case is supposed to be looked at again??

[allen0601]

Is this the same case for everyone? i was just waiting for a court date feels like ive just had it snatched away from me. Great more waiting!!

[MimiJane]

See "Burtonaction's" thread ... similar happened.

 

Mimi

[allen0601]

Morning all

Just wondered does any one think that i could contest the stay using the template? even though i was awaiting a court date.

As a student and mother of a teenager i could really do with the money!

[j.barton1]

Hiya nicky, You can contest the stay using the amended template. There is also a link...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/108220-fsa-review-waiver.html

....Which we are using to lobby complaints with our MP, OFT, FSA & anyone else you can think of??

[allen0601]

Thanks for that ive sent a few letters off!!

Seems strange how some courts are carrying on as normal yet some of us are stuck dangling:mad:

[jansus]

was your advice of stay just verbal?

 

It will be interesting to see the wording when you get the official stay.

 

Hope you appeal and win

 

Jan

[allen0601]

Hi janus yes it was verbal, i rang and asked if there was any news of a date and was told that my case along with everyone elses had been stayed due to the test case.

Think im losing the plot cus i cannot find the template letters to appeal against the stay can anyone help????
