Hello Everyone,

 

I am at the stage of filling in my Moneyclaim on line form and I have been looking at the templates for how to complete the particulars of claim section and I am a bit puzzled about the interest part.

 

The advice is as follows:-

 

1. The Claimant has an account 1234567 with the Defendant, opened May 2000

2. Since 01/02/03 the Defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract.

3. Defendant is aware of all details as a list of charges has already been supplied. Another copy will be sent.

4. Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the Defendant's losses caused by the breaches; (b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and at Common Law.

5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the amounts debited of £XXXX; (b) Interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £xxx [enter interest total at date of claim] continuing at 8% until judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.xx;

6. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

7. Costs allowed by the Court.

 

Finally, the section in blue [enter interest total at date of claim] is for guidance only and should NOT be included in the text of your claim

 

It is the final part that I do not understand, about the section in blue being for guidence only and not to be used in the text of my claim.

 

Could someone please tell me what to do here, do I leave this bit out and add it at some later date or do I include it in the particulars of claim after working it out using the spreadsheets provided.

 

Your help is much appreciated.

The blue letters tell you the sum that needs to be enterd were the xxx's are and you have to delete the blue discription.

 

hope that helps BL

Thanks for your reply, after reading it again I feel a bit silly now, I think I was reading too much into it, I didnt realise that it was actually telling me to remove the words in blue, I actually thought it meant do not add the interest calculation and the whole section about the interest in the particulars of claim.

 

Sometimes things that are right in front of you are the hardest things to see !!!

 

Thanks again, hopefully I wont ask any more silly questions
