New Test Case Hearing held in Cardiff

[Welshman]

In my letter, it does not compell me to attend. I can if I wish, or send written representations.

 

Furthermore it does not ask for my Court Bundle. Mine is ready, bar indexing and inserting an up-to-date schedule.

 

To start compiling your bundle, go here to download the zip file.

 

Hope that helps you daf

Welshman, Thats what is says in my letter...my problem is im due to go on holiday that morning so do i have to attend or can i just send the court bundle and forget it or what?? eek!

 

Allyxia, did you put your statements in your court bundle as I dont have mine anymore and am worried that I will have to re-order them to include them? or would my list of charges suffice?

 

thanks to you all!

[Welshman]

No. You do not send your court bundle. The courts are not asking for them at this stage. All the Judge is going to decide in the Hearing is which Direction our cases are going to proceed from then on. You can just drop the Court a polite letter asking that you believe that your case is siutable for the Small Claims Track. You can also maybe mention any inconvenient dates for you in early 2007.

 

Daf, you will need your statement copies. Three of them one for the Court, one for the bank (even though they've got them already) and one for your own bundle. If you havn't got them, re-order. Maybe it's worth you going direct to your own branch as it seems people are getting them quicker that way. May cost you a tenner though!

So all I need to do is write a letter stating that and wait and hear what happened at the hearing? even though i stated it in the AQ?

Ill get my statements again, but I dont need a bundle for the upcoming hearing?

[Allyxia]

Daf - it looks like your query has already been anwered also I have replied to your PM as well.

I was just searching for what a directions hearing was all about and found this thread... I too have a directions hearing with Judge Hickenbottom but in the Bradford court for a claim against Abbey national.. I did read the notes that said there was a possibility that this may be transfered to another court and that it would also be possible to do it by telephone...my date is the 9th Jan.

[Allyxia]

My letter of transferred stated it was for Review and CMC!!

 

So Im confused now!!!

[ianbrown]

Not sure if its all Banks but Lloyds Tsb customers might well not need to attend, and keep an eye on your post box over the next few days.

My letter and attachment arrived Friday and was marked Private and Confidential by SC&M so I'm being cautious for the moment! :) :)

[Allyxia]

Ive heard on the grapevine other banks are settling as well

 

Buttthats for others to disclose

 

Shame I have nothing to disclose myself esp as i have two claims in on that day!

[daf1999]

Any updates on this court date yet?

 

I posted my court letter on here

im due to go on holiday that morning and not sure whether i need to turn up at court or what!?

 

also if i do need to attend, what i need to take/prepare?

 

Allyxia, you around?? :-|

[stadium_arcadium]

I have had my settlement today guys:D Am awaiting letter through the post, I feel positive for those who have yet to hear something before the 21st;)

Will still attend for moral support for anyone who will be still going next week.

[daf1999]

Well done stadium, nice to see a chilli's fan win through!

what bank were you up against?

Not heard anything from cobblers(natwest) yet, but sent my written representations through as i cant make the hearing...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/48854-advice-needed.html

 

Anyone else not heard anything ??

[stadium_arcadium]

Thanks Daf I was up against Lloyds, it has taken 6 months but well worth the wait!

That's a good letter to send, hopefully you will get your money before you go away though;) Good luck!

[mcuth]

Nice one s_a - someone else I know (*cough*) got something nice in the post today from Brighton

 

Cheers

Not heard anything yet which is a bit worrying as I am claiming against Lloyds Bank as well. Any advice on the court case?

[natwesttookmymoney]

Hi, DC

 

Bring us up to speed - has there been a dfence filed, have you had your AQ and filled it in? Is yours one of the cases scheduled for hearing on the 21st?

 

If so, it probably won't come to it but it will be best to write to the Court (unless you want to attend) along the lines of others in this thread. It's a directions hearing, not a full hearing but you never know if something may be lurking. Send the letter SPECIAL DELIVERY - not Recorded, because Recorded has no guarantee and we're into Christmas post period.

 

Prepare your Court bundle, just in case. Is there anything you can think of that the bank may try to kick off about? Apart from giving you your money back, obviously?

Yes my case against Lloyds is on the 21st December. I didnt fill in a AQ as I won the case by default but due to not knowing what to do Lloyds had the case set aside (5th September). I will prob phone SCM again on Monday to see if they will be representing Lloyds. As I live in Cardiff I will be going to the hearing on the 21st. The only thing I can think of that the bank will kick off about is the interest on the overdraft charges.

[natwesttookmymoney]

OK

First, were you asked to fill out another AQ? It's the court that asks for that and you mjst comply.

second, do a search for 'haydn', who found him(or her)self the only one at a directions hearing, and Natwest tried to get the case thrown out, on the grounds that interest wasn't calculated properly. Read his (or her) experience - it will help you to be prepared if it comes to it, and not be thrown by anything they bring up

.

Best wishes

Anyone still going for the Hearing in Cardiff on Thursday?

[Allyxia]

Allyxia X 3 No

[dcvinners]

I won't be full settlement recieved in the bank today. Just need to tell the court now.

[stadium_arcadium]

I do not need to go but I will still be there tommorrow for support. Is there actually anyone left to attend or have we all been settled? I suppose I will find out in the morning!

[Allyxia]

Are you going to go just to find out if anyone esle (Evan if they are from the other site) is attening?

 

Oh please you must report back!

[Welshman]

The reason I posted #44 was because it looks like I will be able to attend (unless something crops up in the mean time) but there's no point if there's no-one there from the Claimant side. I don't want to do a 120 mile round trip to attend a hearing that I'm not involved in and that I'm not supporting anyone!

[Allyxia]

You could try pm those who have previously posted up here?
