Have I messed up?!?!!!!!!!!

[SL56]

Help pls - I'm in court with HSBC in 7days and I've not submitted my court bundle yet. Have I messed up big time or can I still send it???!? I just submitted the POC via MCOL and thats been it apart from sending them a nudge letter :o

[jowalshy]

What sort of hearing do you have? We need some more details. If you haven't been asked to present anything then I would do a strong nudge to DG reminding them of the hearing next week and would they be prepared to make an offer.

Phone the court first thing tomorrow morning to see if you can still submit your bundle (a nat west claimant managed to get a late submission today - not sure which court this was though).

 

Have you got your court bundle prepared?

When did you receive the directions from the court?

What do the directions say?

[SL56]

Hi thanks it says Notice of Hearing: Take notice that the hearing will take place on 1 August 2007 at 10:00am at xxxx County Court.

 

I havent got the bundle prep'd yet but was just about to do it

[jowalshy]

Did it say anywhere on it that you had to submit anything within a certain time? Also at the top, it should say what type of hearing you have been given.

[SL56]

Nope didnt give me any timeframes and it just says its the Hearing

[SL56]

It says I have 7 days from this notice to submit any electroni evidence such as video tape audio tape dvd or cd though

[jowalshy]

what was the date of the notice?

[SL56]

Its dated 17-07-2007

[SL56]

I'm looking at sending them this:

 

Further to my previous correspondence regarding an offer of settlement I refer to our hearing in this matter which is scheduled for 01-08-2007 at xxxxx County Court.

 

I have issued a court bundle via Royal Mail which contains all the information and evidence that I will be calling upon at this and any future hearing.

Due to the postal delays I have chosen to fax this correspondence to yourselves to make you aware of this information in view of the planned postal strike.

If you wish to discuss an offer of settlement please feel free to contact me on 07xxxxxxxxxxxxx

-------

Would that suffice or am I in the stuck?!?!??

[jowalshy]

Does the notice of your hearing say that DG /HSBC had to preapre anything. would it be possible for you to put up exaclty what it says on the notice.

That what is says word for word

[jowalshy]

The best person to advise on this (as I have never seen this direction before) is Pete (Castlebest) I will PM him and see if he can take a look and advise you.

[SL56]

thanks jo much appreciated

[lateralus]

i'm curious which court this is - i've not seen this hi-tech approach before - did you tick some box that said you'd have trouble with hearing or something - i really don't think those directions are mainstream - i'm waiting to see what pete says.

 

i see what you are doing - but you shouldn't try to bluff dg that you've sent a bundle if you haven't. it may mean an all nighter - but i think you should do the regular bundle and try to get it off tomorrow. tomorrow is still 7 days before the hearing so - i think your timing is ok - it says 7 days from the letter for instructing them on any electronic stuff -

 

this is do-able - if pete agrees - that the bundle should be done and sent off tomorrow - will just mean a lot of copying and a long night.

 

 

if it is a bundle and must be done quickly - look on here -Claiming for a third party (1 2 3) post 39 - i was helping someone get it together fast so it's pretty much all together. and jowalshy has some of it she could email you if you ask nicely!

Very odd they seen to have forgotten normal written evedence and therefore you dont have any time scales to submit it.

 

Phone the court and query this... what will they be expecting ?

 

Get a bundle (or statement of evedence may be ok at a block hearing again check with the court) done pronto and get it into the court and to DG

 

pete

[SL56]

thanks v much I'll keep you posted.

[SL56]

Well spoke to the court and he wasnt much help tbh. I said well what if I dont submit it and he said oh yes well you better send it in but beware theres a postal strike.

 

So I think I'll fax DG but then send through the post and then drop either the bundle or statement of evidence at the court.

 

Any suggestions whhat to do?

[Castlebest]

Get it done and in ASAP then blame the postal strike

 

pete
