Is anyone up in court with A&L soon?

[seboyle]

Hi was just wondering if there are any impending courts hearings with A&l within the next couple of weeks? there seems to be an awful lot of people 'waiting' after having received a defence.

Hi Sarah, I was thinking that as well - my partner had a defence letter form the sols (busy busy busy Wragge & Co!!) on the 25th April & had it confirmed from the court on about the 4th May - but nothing else since - no dates etc.... if they do try to defend all these they will be shattered!!

[MimiJane]

Same here:rolleyes: Awaiting a court date, which should be organised by the court next week (or so they told me when I rang).

 

Will keep you informed.

wragge sent me a copy of there AQ they askd for a months delay i think they had more than enough time.... i started back in feb, but due to illness there is a loaddd of gaps in when things should have been sent and were sent... so in my mind they have had all the time they are getting to settle... hope the court agrees tho

[jayco]

just gone past 14 days after issuing claim myself, got acknowledgement, and defence, but defence has not been filed with court.

 

with so many people at this stage, what can we do to speed the process up ?

Hi Jess

I took on A&L and won. They filed a defence but backed down and paid the full amount. However they closed my account.

hiya drama queen

 

How long did it take for them to settle, did you file AQ? did they make offer? I am like all the others waiting for a court date.

 

thanks

[dizzykate]

oops sorry drama queen

 

well done!!!

[seboyle]

When i posted this question my court was upposed to be this coming Thurs, until the head judge in Northern ireland decided he wnated ot wait for a test case in England to be heard and all our cases have now been put back until the end of June.

 

I am so angry!! I thought i would be quids in this week!!

Hi dizzykate, have you sent a draft order for directions yet? Not sure when this should be sent ... I'm still awaiting a court date.

hiya mimijane

 

I attached the draft order to the AQ and I sent a copy of this to Wraggys with letter refusing their kind offer - have had no response to letter.. had a letter from court, they are v behind and it could be weeks before it even goes into the DJ box. thought this would be nearly over now... hopefully your court will be not too busy and you might get a date in not too distant future . Wish at least one of us at the same stage would get something different than the silly offer (they must know we are not going to accept) cant believe some of the offers!! not even half in some cases.

 

take care...

Thanks Kate Not sure what to do about the draft directions as AQ may be dispensed with, though may be required by local judge. Do you think I should wait to hear from the court about a hearing date and if one is needed before I send?

 

Many thanks for any help.

hiya

 

sorry logged off last night, I think that maybe you could file one with the court cos do you still have to pay the £100 fee even if the AQ may be dispensed with. Think that I would give the court a ring and ask them what they think they are really helpful here with regards to things like that.

 

take care

[MimiJane]

Thanks Kate

[dizzykate]

no probs

[nadirish]

I have received the defence from wragge and co and notification that it has been transferred to my local court, so just sitting tight at the mo and waiting for the next stalling tactic, seems to be going on for ages x

[dizzykate]

hiya nadirish,

 

you might get a cheque for difference between £12.00 charge and one of their generous offers to keep your bank account open. That's what seems to happen in most cases with Wragges

Hi all

My case has been sent to local court but looks as though theres no AQ, Should I wait to heasr from local court or send my draft directions NOW. OOeer.

[nadirish]

Hi Kate, i did get an offer for the £12, i sent it back to them with a lovely letter. Really hope things speed up with them, the whole thing seems to be taking ages. xx

[MimiJane]

There are so many of us now at the same stage ... I'm expecting a court date at any time (unless there are more stalling tactics from A&L:rolleyes:). It'll be very interesting to see when they start to pay up and who is first

 

One thing's for sure, they won't turn up in court ... unless they're prepared to pay wragge to fly up and down the country defending every case.

[nadirish]

Cazawilson, i'm the same as you, got notification a few wks ago that the case had been transferred to my local court but i have not heard anything else since. From reading on here i believe that not all courts are sending these out as they believe the banks to be wasting time.................lets hope so xx

[Jess68]

Im going to ring the court and see what they say, i hope they aren;t letting them have the extra month

[dizzykate]

hiya

 

we are all waiting, its like nothing has happened since April, no successful claims reported well on here at least. They can't possibly defend all of these in person. Up and down the country I dont know what my court are doing with the claims, they said they were innundated with bank charge claims and they are behind processing them. Maybe one of us will get a cheque then we will all get them. or is that just wishful thinking tell you if my sister says one more time "you should of taken that offer" I will explode.

 

Kate

[nadirish]

Keep us posted with what the court says Jess68.

 

Kate i also wonder what is happening but i'm glad i didn't accept their cheque, i thought it was some kind of joke, the amount was pitance compared to what i'm claiming back. I'm going to keep fighting, they have given £1000's back in charges so i don't see how my claim differs from any other, get real strength from this site knowing that i'm not alone and others are at the same stage etc xx
