After successfully opposing a sist at Greenock court 2 weeks ago I returned yesterday and the Sheriff set a date for a hearing. Scheduled to go ahead on 29th January 2008. Its a bit of a wait and god knows what else will happen in this time period but at least I'm getting somewhere.

How did you get on at court? Any update? I'm at court for the same thing on Monday.

Blair Oliver Scott are the collection agency used by Halifax.

Hi Joice, Sorry i didnt reply earlier. At the original hearing on 24/9 the lawyer for the bank applied to sist the case......we were given a new date of 8/10 to reappear. NicolasMcN who posts on the forum went up to represent me at court and managed to successfully oppose the sist. The judge was quite clued up on the matter and more or less shot the solicitor down in flames. He gave us a new date of 22/10 to reappear for the hearing. I was ordered to 'ampify' the case at the request of the solicitor - in other words he wanted me to put in writing exactly why I deemed the charges to be unlawful. Nicolas has a 7 page template on this which he is handing in to the court at the end of the week.......I'm hoping that I either get an out of court settlement before the hearing or that the bank don't appear this time. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers

I havent received anything from the bank or court yet. The court is based in Greenock. Have there been any similar queries like this and if so what has been the outcome??

Hi there, I filed a summons to the local sheriff court a few weeks ago and was given a return date of 17/09 and a hearing date of 24/09. I called the court this morning for an update and was told that there was an 'Intention to Appear' listed against the case. Does anyone know if this is normal procedure for the banks or will they actually appear?:o
