what do you mean about entering today on the dates do you mean 09/09/2006 or the actual word today.Also i filed my claim yesterday does it matter that i just put down charges total and not interest or 8%

[MARTIN3030]

Well done you did right.

 

Expect a payment very soon.

[thewifeandI]

Where the dates should be, enter 08/08/06 for the Date of Service (as that is the date you filed your claim and now remains fixed). Enter '=TODAY()' exactly as shown, but without the quotes for the Date of Payment. This can be changed to the actual date that the claim is settled as and when that happens.

 

If you've filed your moneyclaim without showing the charges interest or s69 interest they are not part of your claim and this can only be changed now by paying a non-reclaimable £35 You might be OK for the 8% if you ticked the box for it - I'm not sure as I didn't file online. You will need to fix the spreadsheet as suggested earlier to get the right figures for charges interest and 8% interest before you try to amend the claim.

[joolywooly]

When I filed in my claim with moneyclaim I only put in my charges total not my 8% interest

[MARTIN3030]

Has the MC been submitted ?

 

There is only one course of action if you want to claim the interest.

You will need to do an ammendment of claim particulars to incluse interest.

There is a charge of 35 quid.

It involves downloading some forms and sending to the court.

They then issue an amended form which you send to the defendant with a response pack (also downloadable )

 

first port of call is to call the court and ask them to e mail you the info

they can talk you through it by phone/

 

The number is 0845 408 5302

You should do this asap

 

quote the claim number.

Explain whats happened

BTW did you tick the box that you were claiming interest on the form ?

[joolywooly]

yes I ticked the box for interest

[joolywooly]

I rang up the money claim helpline but they said as my charges £4555 + interest is more than £5 thousand that I'd have to pay £35 to amend it and pay more money for my claim as its over 5 thousand??????!I thought the charges had to be under the 5 thou mark.I ticked the box on my online claim for interest but am in a muddle please help:confused:

[thewifeandI]

Although they use the total including 8% to work out the fee, they don't take the 8% into account when working out the track.

[joolywooly]

thats not what they said on the phone ,they said i would have to pay an extra £120 for my claim if i amend it as it over £5 thou

[thewifeandI]

That's what I said - the extra 8% IS used to calculate how much the claim will cost, so adding it may take the claim over £5K, increasing the court fee. However, the 8% IS NOT taken into account when working out which track to put it in (small claims or fast track), so it will remain below £5K as far as that is concerned.

[joolywooly]

They say it will be put the claim into the next bracket and put the fee up to £250,I just rang up a minute ago to recheck but they are adamant

[thewifeandI]

Please stop and read through what I explained above. Your court fee WILL go up, but IT REMAINS BELOW £5K as far as the small claims limit is concerned, so doesn't open you up any risks of paying the other side's costs.

[joolywooly]

Sorry my mistake just got myself in a tizzy,is there any way I can charge them interest once my charges have been paid up?

[joolywooly]

I will leave the claim as it is as I cant afford the £165 to change it and will be pleased to get it back just annoyed at myself for getting it wrong ahhhhhhhhhh!!

The claimant claims interest under section

69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the

rate of 8% a year from 31/08/2000 to 08/08/2006 of (1)£5333.60 and also

interest at the same rate up to the date of

judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of (2)£1.17.

 

1.This figure should be just the 8% interest not, as I assume your charges + 8% interest

 

2. This figure should be your charges X 0.00022. The maximum daily rate is £1.09 which would be for a claim where your charges were £5000
