Abbey - Court Date Set @ Guildford

[jellybabe1]

Abbey have defended my claim and I have received the Notice of Transfer of Proceedings along with the Allocation Questionnaire.

 

Any advice as to what I should put in section G of the form - Other Information - and what else should I provide with the form?

 

All help will be gratefully received!!

a complete guide to filling in the aq is available in the library on this site.

Hi jelly

 

Heres the guide on how to fill in the AQ:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/11644-allocation-questionnaires-guide-completion.html

 

And what dose the Notice of transfer say?

[jellybabe1]

Hey Welly,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

They are denying that these are penalty charges and state:

 

"The fees reflect and are proportionate to the Defendant's administrative expenses incurred due to the Claimant's breach of contract and are a genuine pre-estimate of the damage suffered by the Defendant."

 

Yeah, right!!

 

I shall get that questionnaire sent asap!

 

Cheers.

Hello,

 

Due to the number of cases filed, Guildford are trying a number of test cases or will have a hearing to include a number of cases.

 

Anyone else had this - and do you reckon this will be a case of strength in numbers??

 

[Lula]

I havnt heard of this, but I think that it is a case of strength in numbers, none of the people listed with get to court and I think that you will find all your cases settled about a week or so before hand

[jburchell]

I've had a couple of my cases transferred to Guildford from Epsom County Court. Not got a date for the hearing yet but it's very frustrating seeing as Epsom have had the claim for at least 2 months!

[jellybabe1]

I have a Court date set for 5th March @ Guildford. Is anyone else attending on the same date?

Looks like March is going to be Very busy month for ShAbbey as I`ve seen quite a few threads with March Court Dates (including my own:D )

I`m wondering if the judges within the court system have started to talk to each other?? and maybe this is the beginning of a concerted effort by the courts to try and sort Abbey out.

Or maybe its just so late at night, my minds playing tricks on me;)

[NickR]

I have a date set for 04/03/07 at Guildford.

 

I'm pretty concerned as I'm not sure what I need to prepare for the hearing.

 

How prepared are you for your date??

 

Have you been waiting for a responce from the District Judge??

 

I requested that the case be heard at Epsom originally, but was told it was being moved to Guildford where the district judge was going to make an order.

 

 

Sorry for all the questions but I had hoped that It wouldn't get to this stage.

Hey NickR,

 

I'm pretty much prepared for my court date, although I haven't sent off my papers yet.

 

My case got referred to Guildford as well, but mine was from Staines.

 

Have you had a look in the library for the Court Bundle? This will help you with what you need to prepare.

 

Let me know how you're getting on!

are all abbey claims going to court. i've just requested my statements and didn't really want it to go that far but i will if need be. but i've heard that abbey are the worst bank out of the lot of them. any way good luck for the court dates in march

[NickR]

Actually, just notliced that my hearing is also on 5th March at Guildford @ 10:30.

 

I have looked at links regarding court bundles and am now starting to get things in order.

 

It's a shame that Abbey are not settling earlier, but I suppose it makes the inevitable outcome all the more satisfying.

 

Good luck with your case and keep me up to date.

 

Nick

[jellybabe1]

caj123 - don't let the bank bully you and take it all the way! You may not get as far as the court stage, but what have you got to loose?!

 

And Nick - if it does get to that stage - I guess we'll be seeing each other as it looks as though they'll be hearing our case together, no doubt along with others!

[NickR]

Fingers crossed, I think we could be in the home straight.

 

I'm almost looking forward to going to court!!

[jellybabe1]

Likewise Nick!

 

I'm aiming to send off my bundle next week.

 

Keep me updated with how you're getting on.

[jellybabe1]

Do you think I should include the letters I have sent/received to the ICO and my MP in my court bundle or just the letters to/from the bank?

 

:idea:

Hi

 

If it relates to your claim regarding the charges and you feel it is relevent then include it. I will include my SAR request as they took 7 months to comply with it. The reason for the SAR request is directly related to my claim, so I will include it. It also shows how poorly they have behaved. They are now even using the very same statements to delay further.

 

Regards bish.

[jellybabe1]

Thanks for that bish!

[caj123]

i am now not so scared. it was just so intimidating that I cheryl of Darwen could be taking o BIG bAD BANK to court

but i suppose thats what they are hoping we will be feeling eh!!!!!

well not no more

Hello,

 

Has anyone from the forum actually gone to Court and if so what was the outcome?

 

I'm all set for my date - just curious to know if anyone had been to Court yet?

 

 

[GaryH]

None - although Abbey do run it pretty close these days. There's no indication that they do in fact actually intend to defend in court though, the game is to put as many obsticles in your way before paying out at the last minute. That said, nothing is certain and you should prepare for every eventuality.

[jellybabe1]

They do cut it fine don't they??!

 

Bank settled on Friday afternoon - Hearing was set for yesterday (Monday) morning!

 

Still, they settled and I'm happy!!!

 

Nick R - did you received settlement?

 

CAJ123 - Keep it up and Good Luck! :)

[sam78]

Congratulations.

I'm still waiting for the abbey to put in their defence so still a way to go for me yet.

[jellybabe1]

Stick with it Sam - it'll all be worth it in the end!
