rob-the-viking has a punt

[lateralus]

well, you saw nooey's yesterday - hopefully you'll come away from the hearing with a judgment because they won't show.

[pinkduchess]

(SIGH) a big one for both of us - know how youre feeling.

 

you'll be sorted by the summer. surely it wont drag onto the new year?

[Castlebest]

Rob you could try writing very very politly to your judge and explain...

 

you are going to be working abroad in a war zone from xx/xx/xx and it will not be possible to get back to the UK. You belive DG Solicitors will make an offer before any court date so in order to settle this matter and make the courts burden one case less before you go away would it be at all possible to bring your court date forward....

 

Dont know if it would work but might be worth a try... give you something to do anyway

I think it must be your bedtime!!

[Castlebest]

Prefered the opening sequence to Barbarella myself.... although Jane Fonda must be in her 70's now if shes still alive

[lateralus]

alive!!!! haven't you seen her doing her l'oreal skin care adverts saying how youthful her skin is for the "over 60's" not mentioning the several hundred hours of nip and tuck she's had on her face - what utter rubbish!

 

i'm just jealous!

[freakyleaky]

Meeeaaaawwww!

[Castlebest]

i'm just jealous!

 

nothing to be jealous of

[lateralus]

rob - any news? don't be a stranger!

[rob-the-viking]

Apologies one and all, I've been away with work. Nothing has changed. I did phone the Courts last week to find out if the Jokers at DG had submitted their AQ, but they've not bothered. The rather useless woman (not being sexist, she was just rubbish!) on the end of the phone told me that the hearing for directions would be where my case was decided. I asked her to put this in writing as I though a directions hearing did what it said on the tin, low and behold..... Nothing has arrived through the post. I'm taking it upon myself to treat this date in August as my day in Court. I intent to submit a court bundle around the start of the month, and turn up with everything I've got ready to give the losers from DG (who won't show I bet) hell for leather! (it's all I know how to do!) If I just turned up expecting a directions hearing and it turned out to be the real thing, I'd be up the proverbial creek with out a paddle.

 

Still heard nothing from DG, despite no less than 5 nudge letters to date. They really are about as much use as a kid with no arms in a bubble wrap factory. To be frank I'm getting tired of sending the same "why haven't you got in touch..." letter out, I am working on a new angle. I'll post more when I get it right in my head.

 

Keep fighting people!

 

A glad to be back in the UK

how about another letter to the court manager this time asking that their defence be thrown out as it has been xx weeks since their aq was due and they haven't filed one.

 

and this letter to dg (probably already sent it) and add a line that you are asking for their defence to be thrown out because they haven't file their aq.

Re: XXXXX - v - HSBC

account no,

claim no and filing date.

 

I see that as of xx/xx/07,(date you last spoke with the court) you still have not filed your Allocation Questionaire. I cannot understand why you have not contacted me out of courtesy to acknowledge the receipt of my courtesy copy along with my other information. Perhaps you would like to discuss this with me.

 

If you intending to file an Allocation Questionaire, please do soon as the judge will be reviewing this matter again within the near future.

 

Should this case proceed to court - I will be more than happy to show the judge my attempts at resolving this matter. I have yet to hear anything from your office. I do realise that due to the heavy volume of cases with which you are dealing I have to wait until you can get to my case but I think this has gone on way longer than is proper in dealing with cases in a timely manner.

 

I repeat my suggestion that in order to more speedily resolve this matter, I am willing to accept the sum of £xxxx.(keep this at your full amount: charges,interest,court fee and aq fee) Upon receipt of this amount, I will halt my claim against HSBC. I do not agree to waive my rights in respect of any other actions, nor do I agree to a clause of confidentiality.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely

[rob-the-viking]

lattie, i've already written to the courts asking for the defence to be struck out, but i'll send a letter to DG telling them of this. maybe that'll gee them up a bit. Although I totally expect them to ignore my letter yet again! I don't know how those losers sleep at night!!!

[Castlebest]

hiya rob, some of the stuff they are doing recently is particularly shakey... I think they are reaching the point where they are loosing track of what they are doing through sheer volume of their work load, and leaving the offer untill later so people are producing court bundles must be filling their office with paper... just watch and wait.. and jump on them when they fall on their arses...

[rob-the-viking]

Pete, unfortunatey all I can do is wait! DG ignore all my efforts to contact them. It just frustrates me that they can get away with ignoring the rules we have to abide by so religiously. I would like to think that the courts would come down on them like a ton of bricks, but they don't seem to care for the blatant disregard of the court process by these companies.

If I chose to flaunt the rules in my line of work, i'd probably get locked up, could even be put to death for treason. It'd sure be interesting to take these losers to sunnier climes to show then what doing a job that makes a difference is all about. Not sure I could trust them with weapons though....

i totaly agree, its ridiculous how they can get away with doing (or not doing) what they want. i can understand they are rushed off their feet but im sure if it was that much of an issue HSBC have the funds to split the cases over a few different firms. they just want to make it as difficult as possible and if we did that to them im sure we would be strung up.

i am slowly losing faith in the court process for allowing this to go on

[pinkduchess]

hi rob - head sorted yet on the new angle yet?

[rob-the-viking]

PD, not sorted yet. I've got a mate who's Grandfather is a Lawyer with over 60 years experience, therefore a Legal genius in my eyes, he was going to have a look at my claim and see if he could compose something the frighten the living you know what out of DG. He's in his 80' sbut his mind is as sharp as a cut throat razor! Unfortunately he's not been too well recently, therefore I find it rather harsh to ask about it! Hopefully he'll bounce back soon. I'll let you know PD.

 

As an aside, apart from practicing law for twice as long as I've been alive, he also found the time to raise countless money for charity, travel most of the world, and become a decorated RAF bomber pilot in the back end of World War II. I've never met a man with more courage in my entire life. He has stories that would make a best selling book, but he's still the most humble man I have ever had the honour to meet.
