[bennett01]

Right just been to court handed this in and again having shown my working tax credits no fee to pay this helps. also called this woman Christine at london to say I will turn down their offer of settlement of 50% and have faxed of the letter of rejection and have posted one off. Lets see what happens now.

 

 

Abbey £3137.18 offer of 50% turned down

[noobrider]

it can take a few weeks before the court write back regarding the allocation. If the court is busy it could be up to 4 weeks after the AQ date. Mine took at least 2 weeks.

[bennett01]

District judge Watkins has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to small claims track

I think he means your court bundle, in the stickies above there is loads of stuff on your court bundle. dont forget you can claim £9.25 per hour preparation plus expenses, paper, photocopying etc

[Kerrie78]

Hi Lula.

Where do you claim this. Do you just enclose a seperate piece of paper within the court bundle, or is it to be asked for when settlement has been offered?

I'm only asking as I did stipulate that I would be applying costs when I filed my POC but as I have just spent the last hour and half doing my own court bundle I just wondered where it went. I thought I'd better make a start, and I'm glad I have. My god there's hundreds of pages left to go!

[bennett01]

Hi Lula

thank you good job i checked my bundle i still have more to do but will have this finished and posted on Monday of next week.

Hello

A bit confused I thought we could only claim costs on fast track.

Sorry if I appear thick

Anney

[Lula]

Anney, if you have to do a court bundle you can claim costs when you win, but you need to have the calculations their in front of you

[bennett01]

please help with this thank you

[anney63]

Hi

I have not kept track of time taken to get court bundle together but have been doing over the last couple of week ends. What appears to be reasonable . I note somebody charged 49 hours and got paid but can't remember who it was. I still have to highlight paragraphs etc in case of hearing. Highlighting the microphiche copies took ages as there was so many charges and I didn' want to get them wrong:confused:

[bennett01]

Anney

took my court bundle in to court yesterday spent all weekend putting this together. abbeys sent on the same day. looking at the time spent on all copies i would tend to put at least 20 hours at £9.25. all i can do is wait for the court day which is the 26 march unless they settle before then. as to someone claiming the 40 hours not seen this myself.

[anney63]

Teebum's thread claimed 49 hours no problem:)

[bennett01]

Anney

in that case 2 days spent on court bundle would be 24 hours at £9.25 plus other costs many thanks
