Court date

[Yorkie41]

Hi All

 

My claim against HSBC was finally allocated to the Small Claims Track on 12 June. The hearing will take place on 25 September (York C.C.), 45 miutes allocated. 14 weeks seems a long time to me - is this normal? 45 mins also seems a long time for the hearing. Also, what can I do, if anything, to speed things up. I have sent a nudge letter to DG, but no response. Thanks,

Yorkie41.

Keep sending the nudges! 1 every 10 days. Other than that just keep reading. Did you have to fill an aq in? If not did you ring to court to see if the aq fee was still payable?

The time you have to wait is purely a result of the ammount of claims the courts ared ealing with at the moment.

Mate, I though I had a bum deal with over 10 weeks to wait! I've sent DG 5 nudges up to this point and not heard a thing, so don't think it's your fault, they are just not wanting to acknowledge things at the moment. I suspect it's due to the sheer muss of paperwork they are probably swamped in right now! Serves them right if you ask me!!

 

Unfortunately you are stuck in the same boat as me where you've just got to keep at them every couple of weeks or so and wait till your date in Court. If you've not heard anything by mid August I'd start to prepare your court bundle.

Hi Freaky Leaky

 

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. Did NOT have to complete an aq, but DID have to pay £100 fee.

 

Cheers,
