Hi Foo

 

Hope you didnt get up to anything you shouldnt have on your b/day. .

Very belated wishes BTW.:o

Hope everything went well for you at the benefits office, and they sorted it out for you.

Got my papers back from the courts yesterday and i assume Halifax received theres also.

 

Do i hear again from the courts regarding a date for the hearing? or do i wait for Halifax reply to the courts? or do i wait another 14 days for a reply of some sort?

 

had a good browse through various threads but cant see which one of these options is correct. i dont want to sit here waiting for a reply from halifax/courts if i shouldnt be.

 

I assume i wait for second contact from the courts but just to confirm please, thanks.

p.s. Got a freebie off Tesco express saturday night. was out for my Bday heading up north for a night out. put £12 petrol in and bought a cpl of sandwiches on offer at 40p each and some crisp. total was £13.54, so gave the cashier 2 x £10 notes. Cashier gave me a £10 and a £5 and some change with the receipt. so i got out of the shop as quick as i could and left their property. On inspecting the receipt the cashier had rang in a £10 and a £20 note giving me £16.46 change.

 

:roll::D

 

oh how i laughed up the motorway. Cheered me right up.

 

Did they have one of those signs "PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHANGE AS MISTAKES CANNOT BE RECTIFIED LATER"

 

Payback time. they prob made it back off the next customer.

They have 14 days to reply from date "deemed served" on letter from court, check with court then to see if they have acknowledged service. if they have they have a further 14 days from date deemed served to file defence. If they have not acknowledged you can file for judgement. Use bottom half of letter from court.

Hi Foo

 

If the Notice of Issue stated the 13/8 then they have till the 10th Sep to reply. This is the full 28 days.

 

That is they have 14 days to Acknowledge --27/8

(They usually do)

 

Then from 27/8 another 14 days---10/9 to file Defence

 

If you dont hear anything after this date then you can File for Judgement by Default.

 

Try to get this in as soon as you can , dont give the banks anymore time than is neseccery.

 

Hope this helps, Good Luck

Hi all

 

Having returned from my family holiday, on my doorstep were 2 letters.

 

1 from Optima legal services & 1 from the courts confirming the Halifax defence.

 

Having a read in the forum the Optima is the standard letter, nothing more, nothing less.

 

ok, that said and done im awaiting the courts for a date of hearing, correct?

 

in the mean time, since i submitted my claim in the courts i now realise it was important to point out that i was on benefits at the time. Only finding out after ive submitted my claim, how do i go about submitting this 'further information' ?

 

i still havnt got round to getting a letter from social security but will do this coming week if they agree to do it for me.

 

im now going to have a good read of the past week or 2 threads as ive been away.

cheers

Hi Foo, hope you enjoyed hols. have you rang court to see if they have filed defence there, if they have not you can immeadiatly file for judgment. They do make mistakes sometimes, so it prob worth a phone call. If case is stayed by bank or court you can use fact that charges are from benefits to have stay set aside. I am not sure how you submit "further Info" but I am sure some one here will advise on that, you can also ask court when you phone them. I would hazzard a guess that you have to use N244 application form, but this is only my opinion, which is prob wrong.

HI Foo

 

Hope your hols went ok and now your ready to come back fighting fit.

 

I think if Im not mistaken that you can amend your POC by paying a further £35 but Im not too sure but could be worth you ringin the Court to find out as Im sure it will be worth it in the end.

 

Good Luck,
