got my court date, what next?

[splcrazy]

Hi..

ive been searching the forums for ages and cant find the information i need to complete the claim form. First off what address do i put down for Barclays? It is saying the original postcode i used (LE8 72BB) for my letters is invalid.

Is there a link to the rest of the information i need, like what to enter in the "particulars of claim" section etc?

I issued my claims against my local branch where my account is.

 

Some people use the registered office.

 

Also the post code you have is an incorrect format so that is why it wont work,

 

What address do you have that you need the post code for

well all my letters so far have been addressed to :

 

Customer Service,

Barclays PLC,

Leicester,

LE8 72BB

So i assumed this would also be the address which i used to make my court claim?

ok thanks

what should i be entering under "particulars of claim"? and when i click i would like to claim interest it says i have to enter the date the amount was taken. But of course this isnt just one amount so how should i word it?

[splcrazy]

do i have to send a new list of charges including 8% interest to my bank when i make my claim?

[oneofakind]

Sorry, I gave you the wrong link; didn't realise you were doing this online.

You want http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/34887-5-money-claim-line.html

 

I've never used MCOL..... but I'd assume you would enter the date of the first charge. But don't quote me on that!

 

Yes, you need to send your list of charges, showing interest, to MCOL. 2 copies, one for court, one to be forwarded to bank. Maybe send one to the bank direct as well, just to rub it in...

 

[splcrazy]

cool, thanks again, is it ok to stick my court fees in like so:

 

Claimant claims: return of the amounts debited of £1,343.66; Interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £181.92 continuing at 8% until

judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.33; The court fee of £120.00; Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must...........

[splcrazy]

bump.

im trying to sort out getting both mine and my mums money back. Applied for both court dates seperately and receive a "notice of issue" saying

 

"your claim was issued on the 25th may 2007, the court sent it to the defendant by first class post on the 25th may 2007, and it will be deemed to be served on the 30th may 2007, the defendant has until the 13th june 2007 to reply".

 

At the bottom of the letter it says "the claim form must be served on the defendant within the 4 months of the date of issue"

What claim form is it talking about?

Also am i not meant to send off two lists of all the charges that have been made against me by barclays to the court?

also do i have to prepare a court bundle and what is this?

ALSO my mums claim was £6500, i heard that i should have kept it below £5000 as above this she will not go to a small claims court?

 

as you can probably tell im in a little over my head PLEASE can someone give me some help as to what ive got to do next as this is really stressing me out

thanks alot

Okay you havent got a court date yet, nothing will be done until they defend or not.

 

Now you have filed with court send in to both parties an updated copy of your SOC's including interest.[by recorded delivery]

[splcrazy]

ok thanks, so what should i write to accompany my list of charges? just write a letter giving my claim number and a short letter saying "please find enclosed my list of charges" or something like that?

[saintly_1]

Send this to the court ...

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

 

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

And this to the bank

 

Dear Sir,

 

(Your Name) -v- (Bank)

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a copy of my schedule of charges relating to the above claim.

im claiming for both me and my mum, my mums claim was acknowledged today, is there anything i need to do? or just wait to hear more?

what does the judgment column mean on mcol?

[saintly_1]

Judgement is when the banks fail to acknowledge/defend by the correct date

[dar£n]

Your claim has been acknowledged, this means that B's have picked up the served papers and looking at them...they now have to enter THEIR defence...they are allowed 28 days from the date of being served.

[dar£n]

and dont be surprised if they enter the defence late, this is a common trick with them sometimes 30 - 33 days after

[Tipsy0nBacardi]

and when barclays defend splcrazy dont forget it may not show up straight away on the mcol site it took mine a couple of days after to change to defended

[splcrazy]

barclays have two days left to acknowledge my claim. What happens if they dont acknowledge it? do i win automatically?

[saintly_1]

B's will acknowledge ... they like to take it to the last min ... mcol can sometimes take a couple of days to update so they might of acknowledged and it not been updated

[splcrazy]

ah rite ok, its just i did mine and my mums at the same time and my mums was acknowledged within the first couple of days.

[saintly_1]

B's are a law unto themselves i sometimes think they have 30 hour days ... which accounts for them being late with acknowledgements/ defences Unfortunatly the courts allow it

[splcrazy]

received an offer of £900 for my £1600 claim, do i have to notify the court of this offer even though its being rejected?

[saintly_1]

Has the offer come from the bank or the litigations team ?
