thankyou again- i just needed reassurance!

just recieved a call from philip beswick at Salans. He is adamant that if GE dont have the statements it is the end of the matter. Advice?

thank you as always an excellent suggestion! will get back to my figures.

ok - i'm getting my stuff together for court. going to call kevin heath with my proposal for settlement. any idea what sort of figure i should ask for to compensate for the first years missing statements which they keep saying they cannot produce no matter what?

called court- they have backlog of 3 weeks but have received my request to restore this case.

no word - have emailed them regarding my claim against GE court 12th Sept http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/store-cards/29160-sarah-ge-money.html#post1117595

sent email to kevin heath- they are cutting it fine again, thats their favourite tactic - delay delay and delay some more then suggest an adjournment or stay to further delay things and not ever actually settle. hope i'm proved wrong!

12th September- looking forward it to.

very good to hear but i think they still like the delay tactic- i will keep on it

its been such a long time since the beginning of this claim and am aware of how the banks are exploiting the test cast to their own means- i mean delay delay delay. Will keep on - thanks steven

check out http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/store-cards/46773-sarah-time-retail-finance.html#post1101983 in a similar situation- no settlement offered - need to call court to check next move and find out why i have no hearing date

after emailing several times to p beswick and k heath with no reply i have got the message. they had no intention of settling, they were just stalling me from reinstating the case. They lost as i restored the case with plenty of time to spare. Waiting now to hear from the court regarding a new hearing date.

i sent the requested documents below and waited- they confirmed receipt but got no word at all from them yesterday. as i expected stall and more stalling on their behalf. Was the deadline for restoring the case and they promised faithfully that i wouldnt need to. luckily i restored it anyway. Word of advice to anyone currently dealing with Kevin Heath and his collegues- dont believe a word they say! Am happy to take all this back Kevin if you are reading you just need to offer full settlement!

havent updated this for a while as have lots of other things going on. Claim has been passed to Philip Beswick from Kevin Heathand then Daniel Geddes. Received this email dated 13th Aug ----------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sarah, As Kevin has previously advised I am now dealing with your claim and that of your husband's in place of Dan Geddes. I have reviewed the relevant correspondence and documentation in respect of this matter and very much hope that settlement can be reached during the course of this week, without you having to restore proceedings. At this end, I would be grateful if you could forward to me the letter from Court confirming that your husband's Administration Order has been satisfied. Please could you fax this to my direct fax number: 020 7429 6392. I have put together a settlement proposal and have relayed the same to my client and we are presently awaiting instructions which we hope to get shortly. Of course, as soon as I receive these I will contact you immediately. Please contact me if you have any questions at this stage. Otherwise, I look forward to receiving the letter from Court as described above. Regards. Philip Beswick Associate Litigation & Arbitration Millennium Bridge House 2 Lambeth Hill London EC4V 4AJ ==------------------------------------------ keep you all posted

none at all. Thats what i will do. Will send letter a s a p Thank you

think i talked this up. Disappointed to receive this today 'upon view of the court file and considering the test case brought to the high court by the OFT IT IS ORDERED THAT The claim be stayed pending final determination of the testc ase brought by the OFT, folio number 1186 of 2007 This order has been made by the court of its own intiative under the provisions of Rule 3.3(4) of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. You have a right to apply under Rule 3.3(5) to make an application to have it set aside, varied or stayed. Any application made under Rule 3.3(5) must be made not more than 7 days after the date on which the order was served on you. dated 01 August 2007 ' so sit back and wait some more ........................

thanks for replying. i'm not too bothered as i'm ready to go to court! Bring it on

have left voicemail for krysta- doesnt look hopeful for a call back from what i've read on the forum recently but worth a try.

well done jim - i got a similar refund on both my claims against GE but am still going for the interest. they are leading me up the garden path and back again. It will feel good when i am finally rid of them! well done again.

i dont quite follow- i have already paid the fee to file?

dont supose you know the recent news on claiming more than 6 years as the Limitations Act 1980 is mentioned? I have claimed more than 6 years, its their fault for sending me the statements!

thanks again welshcakes

in reflection i think i will attend Heres what my 'Notice of Allocation to the small claims track' says 'District Judge Hamilton has ordered that a preliminary hearing should take place:- to consider whether the claim can be disposed of because the defendant has no real success at a final hearing' very encouraging!!!

in your opinion- is it worthwhile attending or will sending the letters be as effective as this is only the prelim hearing with an estimate time of 5 mins. if it will improve my case i will go otherwise as all 3 kids are at home childcare is hard to find i will not. What do you think?

just to clarify- if i wish to attend then there is no need to send anything at all?
