Hi Caro,

I tried to enter the Mercantile link, but was refused access. I'm due to go tomorrow, and could do with the help.

Thanks, regards,

Dan

The link leads to the litigation section which is being updated so that's probably why. I'll find your thread and try to help. I didn't know there was a Mercantile Hearing tomorrow.

caro · 13th May 2007, 12:51

I can only seem to find a thread showing a settled claim Dan. All I can suggest is that you have a good look round the Mercantile forum for information and start a thread. It's a bit late to do much now.

Me too, I'm off to Leeds on 28th June against First Direct.

I haven't submitted any aq autolinker.com autolinking image

DenverKirrane · 29th May 2007, 14:49

I have a court date for 15th Jun, there has been no request for an allocation questionnaire autolinker.com autolinking image

and I never even received the defence.

Everything seems a bit sparse

What should I do, it says I can submit via post by the 12th

Anyone have any suggestions

Thanks

Which Mercantile Court are you at? There are about 8 such courts locasted around the country and they do differ in the way they handle these bank charge claims. There are plenty of threads in this forum showing what has happened at previous Mercantile hearings.
Is yours a group hearing? Also see the sticky thread 'Mercantile Court Guide'.

Often when a claim is transferred to the Mercantile Court an aq autolinker.com autolinking image

is not needed nor is the defendant's defence sent to the claimant. These are by-passed and it is straight to a directions hearing as the first stage and hopefully the only stage, the case getting settled either before or at that hearing.

hi mothership im at Leeds county court autolinker.com autolinking image

on that date too i got my list through of how many cases it was 5 pages long!! at least 150 people on that date will be there

I'm at Leeds on the 28th June against Abbey.

Paperwork came through today so I'm off to do the CMI sheet and get that back, then I won't have to worry about getting the thing done in time.

My list says 147 cases but they expect many to have been settled prior to the hearing so they've allocated half a day. If we get through the court days it looks like we've got about 30 seconds to make our case. Should be a challenge trying to do that.
