chesters going to court

[Welshman]

Hi.

 

For AQ Section G go to http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/31969-barclays-acknowledge-claim-so.html#post283299 and to posts #8 and more importantly #9.

[chesterb]

Welshman, thank you thank you thank you! Your an angel, with a halo and everything!!!!!!

[Welshman]

I know ha ha.

 

After you filed at MCOL, did you send the bank and MCOL a copy of your schedule which included the 8% interest?

 

If not, it may be prudent to send each of them a copy with a covering letter indicating that the other party have also been sent a copy. I would, especially in the case of Barclays send by £1 post so that a signature is required upon receipt.

 

If you decide to do so, at the top of the one to MCOL, add the claim reference number issued to you by them and ask them to add it to your file. In the case of Barclays, add the reference number from the letters they have been sending you in relation to the claim, again asking them to add it to the file they have for you.

 

Address the MCOL letter to:

 

The Court Manager,

Moneyclaim,

Northampton County Court,

21 - 27 St. Katherine's Street,

Northampton

NN1 2LH.

 

Address the Bank letter to:

 

Barclays Bank PLC

Litigation and Disputes Team,

Level 29,

1 Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

If you've already sent them, that's fine but at least others reading this thread can take the information on board.

I havent sent anything to either of them to be honest Welshman..... I will do tho. Do I send it to the court now tho, as its been transfered to my local court now, I assumed I would be asked for paper work when I got a court date? xx

[normanpj]

Hi!

 

Yes there would have been a date by which you should do this

 

PJN

[Welshman]

Hi. I posted a message somewhere suggesting that the schedule inc 8% interest could be included along with the AQ as they would be going to the same place.

 

Can a MOD comment on this please?

[normanpj]

Hi!

 

I thought I would just let everybody know that Barclays defence that I have is virtually the same as the one posted by ChesterB

 

PJN

[chesterb]

Ive just sent my AQ and my fee, thats it...... surely I would have to submit my other stuff when they request it?

[normanpj]

Hi!

 

Yes the court will give you a hearing date and a date by which you have to submit your court bundle and give a copy to the other side

 

PJN

[chesterb]

Thank you NormanPJ most appreciated..... I will awairt my court date then, thank you guys so much fror your help..... As I say our customers do not have to go through this palarva! xx

[chesterb]

Just a quick update, nothing too great.... My cheque has been cashed by the courts today, so Im just waiting for a court date.......!!!!!!

[chesterb]

Hi Everyone! Well I got my court hearing letter on Friday! Help please. What should I do???

 

TAKE NOTICE that the hearing will take place on 12 March at 10:45 AM PLEASE NOT this case may be released to another judge, possibly at a different court.

 

General form of Judgment or order.

 

It is Ordered that:

Allocation hearing required time estimate 30 minutes

Claimant in her allocation questionnaire refers to 'hundreds of other cases' can Claiment identify any that have gone to trial or are about to?

Is there merit in staying these proceedings to await the outcome?

 

What do I do here? if anything? Do these questions need answering now?

 

Or do I simply await the 12/03/07???

 

Any help is appreciated.

[Welshman]

I would reply stating that there are indeed hundreds of cases awaiting trial but that none have reached Court stage as yet because the Banks are settling with the claimants before the allocated Court dates and furthermore you respectfully request that your case is not stayed pending trial results for that very reason.

[chesterb]

Thank you Welshman! As always...... A great help! I will do just that!

[Mrs Charlton]

Just to say I completely agree with Welshman on this, no cases are getting as far as court so there is no point in staying the case to see what happens.... Your money is getting closer Chesterb.

[chesterb]

Not close enough, 12 March is ages away!!!!! Ive written to the court and spoken to them, so its in their hands again now! Thanks Mrs Charlton xxx

[Mrs Charlton]

If you read Zoeo's thread in the Barclays successes section, you'll see her hearing date was quite a way off too, so money may not be as far away as you think

[chesterb]

Ive read Zoeo's thread and I dont know what to do now? Should I call them, or should I just wait it out??? I have no idea who I should speak to or what I should say? Maybe I should just wait?

[chesterb]

Oh Everyone, Im so confused! Can a MOD or someone with more knowledge than me explain whats happening with my case? I have just contacted the court, as I have read a lot of the success stories, and they have all been asked for a 'court bundle' I havent? I received a general form of judgment or order.... I have answered the 2 questions on this via letter. Ive called them today to ask if they need my court bundle now. the lady I spoke to said its just an allocation hearing, not the actual date, I will receive instructions from the Judge when I turn up to the allocation hearing on 12/03/07 - So I presume, this allocation thingie is for my allocated time slot for the actual court date (Is this right?) Or is the 12/03/07 my actual court date, and I will have to send in my bundle on their instructions? - I have no idea what this means, or what I should be doing here? Please please can someone shed any light at all???? Thank you in advance, a very confused chester x

[Welshman]

OK. Stop panicing.

 

It appears that you have done things correctly. You have responded to them by letter, you have followed this up with a phone call in which the lady told you that it was an allocation hearing and that bundles are not needed just yet.

 

I don't really know what more you want to hear. It may be because other claimants are facing another bank or a number of other things.

 

Just chill and let it happen. You cannot hurry the courts.

[chesterb]

Hello Welshman! And thank you so much! I feel a little better now! - So the 12/03/07 isnt my actual court date then........ Brill

 

Welshman, you are a knight in shiny shiny spangly armour! xxxx

[chesterb]

Anyone please help, I know Im getting irritating, but I have searched the site and t'internet, and I still have no idea what an allocation hearing is? Are Barclays required to go to this? If so they are likely to pay up just before that date I presume? Could someone please tell me what an allocation hearing is? As its not my actual court date?

 

Sorry?!

[Mrs Charlton]

Allocation hearing from what I can gather is merely when the judge decides (after speaking to you both I think) how much time to 'allocate' to your real hearing. (Welshman / anyone else plz correct if I am wrong?).

 

I would personally get my bundle ready for that day, as it is best to be prepared in case the Judge asks you anything, have a folder with everything in, and then have plastic wallets behing every with 2 extra copies in (one for barclays solicitors and one for judge) so if you need to say 'I believe it will take X amount of time to hear the case as I have x and x and x I would like to discuss, and the documentation is here' then you can pass them a copy of whatever point you are referring to.

 

Have you tried typing 'Allocation Hearing' into the 'Search' box and see what comes up? I know you're certainly not the first person to be asked to attend one of these on here...Sorry I can't be more help as I didn't have one of these.

 

Now relax!

[chesterb]

Hi Mrs C! Ive searched, and I can only find every post with 'allocation (that includes everyones posts with Allocation questionnaire) Ive cried for about an hour!

 

I spoke to Rebecca Connely at Barclays, I was confident and basically said, OK thats your last chance, she wasnt interested. So She wont settle!

 

Looks like Im waiting until the 12/03/07 then?!

 

Thank you though! Your an angel x
