Find out here if your local court is staying claims

[chezt]

Cant beleive what i've just read-i received acnowledgement of service and intention to defend the claim from Cap One on the 9th Aug. I filed at Leicester CC does this mean my claim will be stayed??? i thought credit card claims were still ok-i'm soooooo close!!!!!!

From what you have typed it just means you have received notification that the bank are going to defend your claim - they should send a copy of their defence too

 

Credit card claims should not be stayed but if they are yhou will receive notification of this. if this does happen you should write to the court & explain the waiver does not apply to c/cards.

 

hope this answers your Q?

Its going to chaos in january if the banks lose (which i think they will)Courts will be hammered.Banks will have to employ more staff to cope with the demand.So will the courts

With all these stays

[ICY]

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.

I am Hoping that this list will help in our argument to have stays set aside, by demonstrating to judges that (at the moment) the majority of courts are continuing with claims on a case by case basis, which is a fair and just way to continue.

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.

I also hope to raise the awareness a bit, it may give us all a bit of hope if anyone was fearing the banks letters were right saying all cases were stayed when in fact they werent.

IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR CASE STAYED CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT AND HOW TO APPLY TO HAVE STAY SET ASIDE

[invictus]

Spoke to a very nice lady at Keighley CC last Friday. She rang to tell me I'd not put the defendants full name on the N1 and would I like to drop in another corrected copy. She also mentioned all these cases were going before a DJ and would be stayed more or less automatically, however I haven't yet received any notice from the Court so I'll be chasing early next week.

[TANZARELLI]

Checked with Worcester County Court (Combined) and they say at present its business as usual.

[jjppcc_1]

District Judge Ashton at Preston County Court has ordered that my case be stayed until the end of the test case, this is his decision, without an application being submitted from the bank.

[yiddo]

From what you have typed it just means you have received notification that the bank are going to defend your claim - they should send a copy of their defence too

 

Credit card claims should not be stayed but if they are yhou will receive notification of this. if this does happen you should write to the court & explain the waiver does not apply to c/cards.

 

hope this answers your Q?

 

Yes thats right-i've received intention to defend.Dont know if you've ever dealt with Cap One before but apparently they acnowledge the claim,say they are going to defend,then pay up! So i should be payed back any day now really I wouldnt put it past them to try and get this stayed-just got a bit worried with it saying on here that ALL claims in Leics are being stayed !

Thanks for the help.

[ICY]

I will change the wording to read all current account claims are being stayed, sorry for the confusion

[chauvesouris]

I've just received notice of a stay from Habershon DJ at Wandsworth cc. It's upon the court's own motion and is "pending a decision in the test case".

[TANZARELLI]

From LTSB website: Lloyds TSB - Answers to questions on bank charges

 

Q: Does this test case and the suspension of unauthorised overdraft claims apply to my credit card complaint?

A: No this test case and the suspension applies only to complaints about unauthorised overdraft charges and the law which applies to them.

[monkey_uk]

[jackieandwayne]

I have just telephoned Poole Court and spoken to the Manager, Corey, a lovely lad. He says to still put the claim in as they are still accepting them, but he believes they will all be stayed.

[ICY]

List updated, we still have over 130 courts that we dont have a clue what they are doing

[sarah...]

[Belly]

Shrewsbury County Court informed me yesterday that all claims are being stayed pending the OFT test case.

 

[littleshrimp11]

Maidstone County Court has stayed all cases dated 21 August till after the test case

[redstef]

Our Winchester case has now been officially stayed.

[Kurt_Hamster]

Looks like Stockport County Court are issuing stays.

[jdaraf]

Rhyl County Court.

 

Due to submit my bundle next week so checked with Rhyl County Court if case still proceeding as listed.

 

Advised that all these cases have been transferred to Cardiff Civil Justice Court and are being stayed.

 

Have asked for confirmation in writing.

[divagirl]

Bad news for me, Oldham are staying all

 

Oldham is where my case is to be heard, however, i have already submitted an objection of a stay to them, cobbetts have while the 24th August to submit the documents the judge has ordered.

So im hoping I've got in there first, and the judge grants my objection:)

[ICY]

Hope so, got order today to say they are staying another of my claims

[LEECHTHEBREACH]

Judge Harris at Redditch County Court granted a stay for Halifax today who had not even submitted a court bundle and sent a barrister from London.He would not allow me to speak as a McKenzie friend ,even though I was submitted as one in a letter with the AQ (so my pal was totally flumuxed). I submitted a bosting 4 page letter against the guessed it would happen stay,it was as though he had never read it.He hates bank cases and this the second time I have unfortunately had the displeasure of meeting him. He is the most rude,arrogant,buffoon I have ever met,yet other judges there are very fair. Cased stayed to submission after 28th February 2008

[madoldbat]

My case was stayed yesterday and I wasn't happy. This afternoon I, too, faxed and emailed a four page letter to the judge requesting he/she deny the application for a stay and also that as the Defence have not submitted any evidence documentation whatsoever, then please consider striking out the case.

 

I am not too optimistic that this will have had any affect and I was told a response and further order from the court won't be sent out until Monday as there is no judge sitting tomorrow.

 

You never know.......................

[juicyd]

Gutted for you both, so sorry. leech, any point applying for the stay to be lifted so that you can transfer claim to another court rather than risk coming before crap judge like harris again....

 

Have been thinking about the merits of this for people...most claims are in claimants' home courts - defendants are not asking for transfer, although they are entitled to. those in courts which are staying - why not ask for stay to be lifted and an order for transfer to x court, whichever one is also convenient to you but IS hearing cases - asking for this in the interests of natural justice and in pursuit of the requirements of the overriding objective?

 

Judges might have a different take on it if their work is being taken away from them. So annoying:mad:

 

transfer doesn't cost anything btw
