Hi ford . Thanks for that . Have sent off CPR 18 . I will have a look at s140 . Would you read anything into them getting rid of Fairfax solicitors and handling it theirselves ?

hi... i manged to sort that out ! ... but am a bit confused ... have recieved arrows aq copy in the post and they have ditched their solicitor ( fairfax ) and stated they will be dealing it themselves ... is there anything to be read from this ?? good news or bad news ??

Hi .. after some more help if possible ..... need to send allocation questionnaire off soon and am not sure exactly how to do it and also can someone advise which CPR letter to use to get info for an overdraft and who should i send it to ??

its from bradford .. so i didnt need to file a defence ?

where is red triangle ... can only find one to report post !!

I think i have made a boo boo ... i sent the acknowledgement back stating we would be defending and it got sent back to us today saying we hadnt entered a defence .. i thought if we acknowldgd then we didint have to put defence in until later ??

Good morning all .. Mrs Lafey has received a CCJ with arrow global as the claimant. IT is for an old TSB overdraft of circa 8K . We intend to defend it all as it was a complete hash on lloyds part to start with ( thought we had got rid of it to be honest .. it will be 6 years in may !! ). We have dealt with a CCJ before but that was for a credit card so i know things will be slightly different. so i was wondering the following points : 1) We will be sending claim back tomorrow defending all ... do i need to put anything in defence box at this point to say i will be putting full defence in later ? 2) Which CPR rules should we use to try and get docs from Arrow Global ( Is this even the right way for and O/D rather than credit card? ) 3) is there anything else i need to be doing at this point ? Thanks for your help

thanks very much for that info B3rty .. it does say full and final in the terms ... i will maybe try and get the amount down a bit ... but was sure i had heard some horror story where someone has entered into a tomlin agreement and the claimant then applied for a charging order to securitise the debt !!

thankyou for that ... might have a go at chipping at the offer they have made ... but just to be sure ..... if payments under the order are kept up then they cant go for charging order ???

without adding this to my other long thread we have been offered a settlment by a bank who was taking us to court ( trial due in march) .. The terms of the settlement do seem fair and it would save my wife a lot of stress by avoiding the court case ( even though i am sure our defence is good) . However they want us oi sign a tomlin order to agree to the terms . My obvious worry is that if we agree to this then they will go straight for charging order ! . Does anyone know if this is usual practice as if this is the case it is not worth accepting . Thanks for any comments

remember to check if there are any trade agreements between the exporting country and the uk .. this can sometimes lower the duty on certain if they provide you with a certificate of origin

best thing to do would be to use a customs clearance agent .... they charge a fee but will work out everything for you and deal with customs ... how will goods be arriveing in uk ??

they have already admitted they dont have dn but most of the stuff they have sent me is in their witness statements so have made sure i have added all their exhibits to my list

Sorry if that seems vague but after going through all my documents to do a disclosure list i have come across the following anomoly .. They say a formal demand was issued on 17/9/08 and the account then closed on 10/10/08 ..... then on 3/11/08 an arrears letter was sent inviting us to pay two missed payments .. This obviously does not seem the right thing to do if the account was indeed closed .... Anyway i can use this to my advantage ??

their list will be empty then !! lol .. each time they send me something it helps my case ... still .. cheaper than a solictor !!
