Mr. K vs Lloyds TSB

[Mr. K]

I am claiming back just over a thousand pounds worth of unfair bank charges from Lloyds TSB and I have been following the steps in the FAQ's. I recently had a letter from Lloyds' solicitors stating that they wished to enter into settlement negotiations and requesting (another!) full list of charges.

 

I've received the following letter from the courts this week. I'm not sure what they're asking for - do they want yet another list of charges?

 

Thanks for your help!

4. If the Claimant fails to comply with paragraph 3 of this order, the claim will be struck out without further notice.

 

5. The claim shall be stayed between 5 September 2007 and 3 October 2007 to give the parties an opportunity to reach a settlement.

 

6. If no settlement is reached by 3 October 2007, the defendant shall by 17 October 2007, file and serve a schedule in response to the Claimant’s schedule, stating in respect of each item claimed:

 

(a) pursuant to which, if any, contractual provision such charge was made,

(b) if such charge is alleged to be lawful, the basis on which it is so alleged.

© if it is alleged that the charge is a genuine pre-estimate of the Defendant’s loss incurred as a result of the Claimant’s actions (wheter or not such action are in breach of contract), all facts and matters on which the Defendant relies as showing that the charges are a genuine pre-estimate of loss, including the Defendant’s positive case as to the actual cost of dealing with such actions; and

(d) draft directions for the further conduct of the case, to be agreed with the Claimant if possible.
