London Hearing 24 Jan 2007

bitingback · 7th January 2007, 21:01

Hi One and all!

I am in the process against the Abbey and:-

Got letter from London Mercantile Court, have a folio number and been advised that:-

"There will be a Small Claims Hearing in this case and in several others which raise the same or similar issues at 10:00am on 24th Jamuary 2007. The hearing is intended to give directions for the hearing of some or all these casesin a way which saves time and expense. It is hope that all parties will attend but if this is not practicable the Court will be pleased to consider the written views of any party provided that these reach the Court by no later than 22nd January 2007.

Although some of these cases have been allocated to the Multi Track, it is the provisional view of the Judge that the costs rules for the Small Claims Track should apply to all of them."

I am wading through Merc bits on General Forum, and am wondering if anyone else's cases are on the 24th.

That's interesting....

I have a case in London against Abbey on the 23rd! Mercantile Court. Set for 30 minutes.

Any advice?!

bitingback · 9th January 2007, 18:48

Sorry Sbb, no advise yet, will post as soon as I can get some info ar idea of whats in store.

marcopolo · 14th January 2007, 14:48

I have been to a CMC at the London Mercantile. if you want some advice PM me and I can fill you in. Do you know which judge is hearing your case?

Coombep · 17th January 2007, 21:10

Any news from Abbey? I just received notification that my case V Barclays has just been transferred to the Mercantile so interested to see how the banks play it...

Seems like more and more are being transferred at lower and lower value.

bitingback · 18th January 2007, 14:09

Nothing from Abbey, but phoned the court today and was told the hearing will be with Judge Mackey, any body know anything about his.

As for Abbey i am phoning them today to stir things up a bit.

nat · 19th January 2007, 23:52

I emailed abbey after getting the letter informing me of the transfer to try and reach a settlement, and today I received a letter offering me the full amount as full and final autolinker.com autolinking image

, so I am one who won't be going to court on the 24th

Hopefully there will be more of us before then

JonCris · 21st January 2007, 13:37

nat make sure that Abbye know that if the money is NOT in your account BEFORE the hearing you will continue with your claim

,hills · 23rd January 2007, 11:57

I received a General Form of Judgement or Order letter from my local county court autolinker.com autolinking image

dated 12th January 2007 saying the claim is transferred to the London Mercantile Court.

Do I just sit here and wait for Mercantile to contact me or do i need to call them ?

Thanks

bitingback · 23rd January 2007, 12:15

,hills

Hi to you, the Merc Court will write you a letter shortly giving you a date for a directions hearing.

They seem to be having directions hearings in Bulk as there were a number of us due in the hearing tomorrow, from what i can gather they are being settled just before.

You can phone them but will still have to wait for the letter. You don't have long to wait now

,hills · 23rd January 2007, 12:18

Thank you for that.

Coombep · 23rd January 2007, 19:34

I too am waiting for a Case number and date etc from the London Mercantile. My transfer was ordered on 28th Dec 06. When i get the details i'll write again to barclays to see if they want to continue their charade.

treewilko · 31st January 2007, 12:29

Has anything happened with regard to the London Hearings on 23/24 Jan ???

Am not sure i am following these threads properly

I am interested to find out what is happening with the Abbey Cases and as this was going to be a test case autolinker.com autolinking image

i am very curious as to what the decisions were as all cases were to be treated the same as those on the fast track!

Has there been any outcome from this ? What is a directions hearing ? What happened to all the cases that were to be decided on the 23/24th?

Can anybody help me as i seem to be a little confused and i am not the most pc literate and so think i must be following the threads incorrectly.

Help Please!

Hi there I have pm'd you with my situation.

Good luck

Coombep · 31st January 2007, 13:11

Does that mean you got a positive result??

bitingback · 31st January 2007, 13:22

Yes Coombep,

Full settlement charges court costs and 8%

Coombep · 31st January 2007, 13:32

Congratulations....I'm waiting for the Mercantile to allocate their case number vs Barclays etc, so it is reassuring to know that settlement is a just a matter of time. Did you have to go to the CMC in the end or did they settle first?

bitingback · 31st January 2007, 13:42

Coombep,

Didn't have to attend, the full story is here
