Find out here if your local court is staying claims

[Varangian3]

You still haven't explained what the hearing is for.

 

Is this a directions hearing, or to consider a stay?

[melanielouise24]

It was to claim my bank charges back. I think it's a directions hearing but i'm not too sure as new to all this.

[dibble39]

im in birkenhead next week and my claim has been allocated to the small claims track and mines still going ahead upto now.

[davyboy]

Quick question, hope im on the right thread?

my sons case v NatWest has been stayed, they (cleveland combined court) have since sent an allocation questionnaire, do i still complete and send it to the courts within 14 days of issue? should i also include the basic court bundle at this stage?

thanks

davyboy

please help!!!!!!!

It would be very useful if you could post what your local court has told you regarding stay on claims due to the OFT report. We dont need to know what the banks said, we all know they will just tell us that they have a stay and that is that.

Remember that if your claim is involving a credit card claim, then it should NOT be stayed, and if it is you should appeal this decision immediatly.

[Mistermind]

but when i contacted the court the lady said they failed to fax the fee as well .

 

Cobbets forgot to fax a photocopy of a £50 note...

I know all about this one.

 

Unfortunately I cannot post a link here as CAG will not permit reference to the site in question. However, the information is potentially helpful to members and should be shared.

 

If you PM me I can provide details.

Hi there, this is about the lifted stay at Torquay & Newton Abbot CC, have you got more details you can share, as this is the court I am going to file at against HSBC shortly (my local one issues blanket stays according to the list here)

Will also PM you, hopefully you have some info that may help me

Cheers

[The Phantom]

Varangian, tried to PM you, but your inbox is apparently full...

[sash050677]

My inbox believe it or not , its empty mate

[The Phantom]

If that's in reply to my post above to Varangian then I am not getting it;)

But then again I am not from England and sometimes struggle with this sense of humour.

[sash050677]

anything info will help,

 

sorry bout that, did nt receive any pm and my inbox is empty.

 

Do u know how long might the test cases last for

[The Phantom]

I PM'd member Varangian and not you, that's why your inbox is empty.

I think we are getting our wires crossed here:D unless you ARE Varangian under a different user name

[Varangian3]

The test case is scheduled for Jan and Feb 2008. After that it usually takes several months before the final judgement is delivered.

 

Then the fun really starts with appeals, and potentially these could drag on for years. All of the delays are stated to be till the conclusion of the test case, so all stayed cases will be held until all of this is completed, if it goes the way that the banks and the courts want it to.

[The Phantom]

By then the amount of backlogged, stayed claims must be enormous

It appears so wrong and un-economical:mad:

[Varangian3]

The situation in Wales is a good example of this.

 

There was a bulk hearing due in cardiff mid August, with 600 cases. All of these were stayed following the announcement of the test case.

 

Now, all cases in Wales are also being sent there (without any explanation why), so there must now be tens of thousands of cases all in sacks in Cardiff.

 

People who appeal stays are told that they will be looked at 'next week', which is the same story the court has ben saying since early August. Its a total shambles and an absolute disgrace when the court has been paid to provide a simple service that they are there to provide.

 

Its also becoming clear from various courts that the volume of cases is being processed by staff not by the judges who are supposed to do this. So far there is no proof of this but if anyone gets any please be sure to post it as it is a clear breach of the regulations.

[Mistermind]

Icy, have you formed any ballpark impression on what percentage of hearings previously set for the first two weeks of September have now been stayed?

 

If hearings are stopped and refunds stopped, drastically reduced contributions to CAG are probably already in force. Cannot afford for this site with 150,000 members to go off air following a six-month starvation of funds.

[johnnyroper]

my case at weston super mare county court was stayed,i applied for the stay to be lifted using n244 form and the letter off penaltycharges.co.uk i have now got a hearing on oct the 4th for my application to be lifted

and it did not cost me anything to do,i will post details of what happens on the day so the list can be updated

[maggiejtbg]

I have had my case stayed.

 

At Stoke-on-Trent Combined Court by Deputy District Judge Connolly.

 

Upon the Courts own motion. The court has made this order of its own initiative without a hearing.

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

 

as shown by other threads on this site. The courts must have a bundle of photocopied sheets to send out to people.

 

I cant believe that the court would apply for a stay after all the money we have lined the courts pockets with. I'm sure if it was the other way around i.e LLoydsTSB V ME the judge would not be so quick to grant a stay.

 

Has anybody actually won at this court since OFT test case came about, its just that in the list of courts it says this court is ordering stays on a case by case situation??????

I'm afraid that, yes all cases at Stoke on Trent Combined Courts have now been stayed.

 

I phoned on Friday to check the situation and was told that they were, haven't been able to post until today with an update.

 

Stafford though are still going on a case by case basis.

[aph101]

I have been notified today that BISHOP AUCKLAND county court are planning to stay my claim against Nat West without an application from the bank.

[Fluffy Viper]

Got a letter from ACCRINGTON County Court on Saturday saying that my case was being stayed on the Courts own motion, (the Judge is District Judge Geddes just for reference).
