See My thread Molly-in-the-trolly Vs First Direct for details

Recieved letter today from DG Solicitors as you predicted Monkey. Been bound to silence but put this way anyone claiming you will soon have FULL success!!!! Thanks to everyone for all their help and advice and for this website. Since claiming First direct have charged us another £300 so round 1 again....and again...and again... until they stop charging us so much money for nothing. Good luck to all.

Thanks both of you for that. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. One thing though, given the amount of my claim, how much do you think I should accept as an offer minimum????

Looked up claim on moneyclaim site tonight. First Direct have achnowledeged the claim. It says that they have 28 days to respond from this date (20th April 06).

Hi Dogberry, I have also filled claim with Fd, so I just wondered Have they offered full settlement then if you do not discuss it with anyone? How long since you filled the claim have they written to you? Thanks

Good luck

Hi, Look at my thread "Molly in the trolly Vs First Direct" It may help you with your question- there is lots of info from Bank Fodder on there about seperate claims.

Mjanet, they are already on the litigation in progress page- do you mean the detials of the notice of issue?

Recieved notice of issue today for the above claim against First Direct from Northampton County Court. First Direct have until 1st May 2006 to reply, so I wait with baited breath!!!

I emailed Stephen Hone about BF's reply and he advised me to do 1 big claim for all 3 accounts or 3 seperate claims for the 3 seperate accounts. He advised not to do 2 seperate claims for my account in 1 or 2 stages as the judge will not like the fact that I am clearly trying to play the system and will ask why am i sueing the same comapany for the same thing twice. I am going to do 1 big claim as this is cheaper in court fees. I am going through moneyclaim which will automatically allocate my claim to fast track. He thinks that even if they put in a defence they will start to make offers eventually. What ever happens at least there are people like BF and Stephen to advise people like me. I'll keep you all up dated, and thanks to everyone for all your help and advice with my queery.

When you say make the claim £4700 and then the rest what do you mean exactly? When would i then be ale to claim the balance for my account?

I emailed Stephen Hone as well and he gave me his phone number to ring him. For anyone else out there with the same problem as me, Stephen's advise is that to put in two seperate claims is illegal so to put in all claims as 1 big claim on fast track so you are capped on only paying up to a max of £750 court costs. If they put in a defence then you only pay £750 max costs. Hope this is helpful if you have the same problems as me. I'll keep you all posted.

Hi I am claiming on 3 accounts and therfore doing 3 seperate claims, I would advise you to do the same.
