stay cool...just try to follow the steps here and you will be absolutely fine. They are still settling..indeed it seems that Barclays have got their act together and are settling quite quickly once you have a court date even if it is quite a long way off. From what I understand they were taking it right up to the wire and not settling until days before court dates - good news for us though xx

Hi Katie When you did your Schedule of Charges did you use the XL spreadsheet in the templates section? If you did it will calculate interest for you, if you didn't go to the templates library, find the spreadsheet that deals with interest and fill all your figures in there - it will add interest to each charge for you automatically right up to todays date. Keep going hunni, I got my settlement offer today and I am smiling like a cheshire cat. I had a court date for 31 July so Barclays are look to settle early - don't panic xxx

Woooooohoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Phone them tomorrow EL - I win!!!!!! I WINNNNN!!! Letter received by email today which I have read, re-read and triple read!! Couple of minor changes that need to be made but essentially full settlement including interest and court fees how:cool: is that?? WOn't beleive it till I have the cheque in my hand tho!! GO FOR IT nothing to lose and everything to gain

Hi EL Phoned Kate yesterday and she is still waiting for response from her accounts department - so i am still waiting for a response from her. not going to chase every day as I don't want to appear too eager, however she said she should know something by the end of the week - zzzzzzzzzz!! On a not so pleasant note, received a Notice of Recovery Action from Equidebt regarding my overdraft which Woolwich now want paying back. Am I right in thinking that they cannot send to a DCA while the account is in dispute - any advice would be appreciated, including any letters that I can send to Wooly/Equidebt to put a stop on any action until matter resolved...Course when they give me my money I will give them theirs!!!! Thanks???

Hi Spongebob Unlke Caz i took the N1 route, this meant I could hand the papers in to my local court. The biggest downside with this is that you will have to keep phoning to find out progress if you are impatient like me Also my understanding is that MCOL is a bit quicker in terms of the papers being put under the judges nose - my case is a fine example - the paperwork having been overlooked for somerwhere close to three weeks!!!! Hope this helps Yogachick

Thanks Caz I will try Kate again tomorrow afternoon, and if I get no joy will ring Krysta - see what we can come up with:cool:

Thanks Caz - here's hoping...you don't happen to have Krystas' direct dial do you? just in case Kate is dragging her heels Is Krysta Kates boss?

Well done Caz You getting there makes me feel like I may be about to get an early success - still waiting on a call back from Kate Ashton, though I did get an email from her after we had spoken and I had emailed over a SOC - saying she would deal with it as soon as she heard from her accounts department ....waiting, waiting, waiting EL - you go girl, give it a try - lets hope we both have some good news real soon xx

Thanks for the heads up Thai, I will bear in mind that I am being recorded and not get doubletalked into anything - not now I have come this far

Hi EL OK I have just spoken to them, on the premise that i wanted to find out who was dealing with my case and who I should send the court bundle to. The nice lady who is dealing with my case asked if I had a court date yet and when I told her that I have she asked if I was looking to settle early??? I then called her back and asked what their current position is on that and she said that they were going to be very busy in June, could I send her a schedule of my claimed amount and she would talk to accounts...so I would call on that basis if I were you. Now sitting and waiting to see whether they come up with the full offer :o

Hi Electric Been following your claim as you were never far behind me...and now have moved ahead. I have a court date for 31 July and have been wondering the same as you, call now or wait ??? Good luck whichever you decide to do xx

Hi hunni Was his name Dino by any chance...I hope so, he's dealing with my case I have found out today, having received a court date for the 31st July. Unfortunately he's not in the office this afternoon (if he's dealing with 1000 cases on his own he's probably suffering from burnout poor love).

Thank you very much for the advice Benny - meditating and not calling, will bide my time x

Hi Benny Umm what I have received is titled as follows "Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing) says "District Judge Tetlow has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track. The hearing of the claim will take place at 10am on the 31 July 2007 at Milton Keynes County Court and should take no longer than 1 hour 0 minutes. The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date" Also says that several small claims are listed for 10.00 because many disputes are settled either before the hearing or very quickly on the day. The orders attached state basically that each party needs to deliver to every other party and the court offices copies of all documents on which he needs to rely at the hearing. No later than 14 days before the hearing Original documents to be brought to the hearing. Statements etc, etc, etc OK should just take deep breath and not rush in like a bull in a china shop at this stage then.... Wait till end of next week???
