Caz V Barclays / Woolwich **WON**

[CAZKATJOE]

Hi all, today I received a letter from the courts, with a copy of the acknowledgment of service from an Adrian St John, Legal clerk at Barclays.

 

So its official, just 24 days left for them to file a defence.

 

Boring bit now, just sit back and relax.

[torigirl_uk]

No, its 14 days from Acknowledgement for them to defend:) So sooner than you thought!!!!

Tori

Hi Tori, i am confused, the letter i got from the court said they had 28 days from being deemed served. That happened on the 15th April and they acknowledged on the 17th April, so i thought they had 28 days from the 15th April, which gives them another 24 days,

I am going to read the FAQ section again.

 

 

I hope you are correct, that would be cool if they had 14 days from acknowledgement, as that would mean only 12 days to go.

 

Lets hope you are right.

 

Thanks

Caz:confused:

Caz,

you file with MCOL

allow 5 days for it to be served.

They then have 14 days to acknowledge it.

THEN

They have 14 days to submit a defence.

 

so if you go by 33 days from the date you filed on MCOL you wont be far out.

[dar£n]

sorry caz mis read your posting,

because they have entered their defence BEFORE the 14 day deadline this moves things forward, they then have, as Tori says 14 days to defend. [17/04/07 +14 days]

 

sorry if i confused you even more ....i'm a turd!

[torigirl_uk]

Hi Caz sorry to confuse you, hope what dar3n said makes a bit more sense!!! They have 14days to submitt a defence after they 'Acknowledge' the claim.

So its 28 days from when the claim was 'Issued' (which should be on a letter you recieved from the courts) to when they enter a 'defence', But they Acknowledged your claim in record time!!!

Good luck

Tori:-)

[torigirl_uk]

Sorry Caz again!!! I think I've just confuesed the issue, just wait 14 days from when they 'acknowledged' your claim for them to denfend!!

There thats a bit easier!!!!

Tori

Pmsl

[CAZKATJOE]

Oh my goodness, that was all very confusing and very entertaining to read, lol. I think we all went around in circles for a while there.

 

So as they acknowledged as you say in record time, being only 2 days, they now have 14 days to defend.

 

Right, i have a copy of the letter i received from the Northampton court.

 

It says that

 

An acknowledgment of service to your claim has been filed today, a copy of which is attached.

The defendant now has 28 days from the date of service of the claim form to file a defence.

 

 

The date on the acknowledgment of service is the 16th April.

It was deemed served to them on the 15th April.

 

This is all moving very quickly.

I understood they had 14 days from the deemed served date to acknowledge and that Barclays normally take the full 14 days. Well they didnt so that is what has confused the issue, they litterally did it in one day.

 

Help Please, we are all still going around in circles here.

 

Help me Help me., Not that i am begging or anything

 

Very confused:confused:

[dar£n]

From the date they acknowledged, they have 14 days

[CAZKATJOE]

i think i may phone the courts and see what they say

will let you know

[dar£n]

[CAZKATJOE]

goodmorning Dar3n ,

 

I just telephoned mcol and they said that they have until the the 14th May to file a defence, and i should look on the web site at my claim on the 15th and see if they have filled a defence.

 

[torigirl_uk]

This started so simply and now I'm mega confused!! Have I been giving the wrong advise?! Dar3n I'm gonna stay and watch for this excellent advise!!!

A very confused Tori:confused:

[CAZKATJOE]

look forward to the excellent advice, going out for 10 minutes in a second to take my foster child to contact with her mum, but will be back by 10.10 am.

[dar£n]

So, what the ruling is.

Is ACTUALLY 28 days to defend regardless on whether they acknowledge early or not.?

Is it just me or the law still seems to lean towards favouring them???

.

 

sorry for misguiding you bab. XXX

[dar£n]

AND THEN>>>>>>>

 

They will be late defending..... :mad::mad::mad:

[CAZKATJOE]

I think we are all confused, trust me to cause this confusion.

 

Typical of me, really. Lets hope none of us will be confused by the end of all this.

An also very confused Caz:confused:

[CAZKATJOE]

ok cool, dont worry at least we all know what is going on and where we are now. So still 24 days to go...........

 

And yes it all seems to be in their favour, after all they seem to be allowed to defend late, but i bet we wouldn't if it was the other way round.

 

Thanks for the entertainment everyone, you all cheered my morning up.

pmsl.............................

caz i am just adding you to my watch list so that when i get to this stage i hopefully will be able to look back and see how you WON thanks linda x

[CAZKATJOE]

Hi Linda,

Cool, hope you are right and i do eventually win.

I could really do with the money, i have to say, I will also keep an eye on you and see how its going, what stage are you at.? caz

[carter56]

hi caz just waiting 7 more days then going to file on mcol you answered my thread this morning " carters56 vs barclays. " so fingers crossed for both of us love linda

[CAZKATJOE]

Just checked my mcol on line and no defence yet, so only 19days to go,and then the fun really begins.

19 days seems like an eternity.

I am not good at waiting, but i guess i have no choice, so i will keep you all informed.

[kippy2]

knowing good old barclays they will defend at the last hour. just the way they work. (seen it loads of times on here! and with my own claims)

 

just play the system you will get your money back but not until you receive your court date, but having said that a nice bunch of people in litigation so the end bit will be easy.

 

patience etc

 

just to add they paid out on a similar site to this a whopping £29,000! claim! (and this was a normal account not a business one!) :D
