Hi kelbly
Just wanted to wish you good luck for your day tomorrow, I went last Monday and was really nervous but it is alot less informal then I thought it would be and all the people I met at the court were really nice.
If you are claiming your £150 court costs back I'd take your last 3 months bank statments with you to be on the safe side, I didn't so had to pay on the day and then send them off to claim the money back.

kelbly

I'm not going to reclaim the costs as I kinda shredded most of statements, so dont have many to take although i know i need to get some for thr OR

Good Luck today and we look forward to hearing from you on here later.

kelbly

thanks,

I was wondering why i need 3 copies of the papers? I have to go to the library before I go, to do this.

k2nga

The courts require 3 copies. You get 1 back with your BR order. I believe that 1 is then kept by the court and the other is sent to the OR. So unfortunatly you will have to pop to the library on the way to the court. Some people have called the court and they have done it there for them but like i say i would call ahead and ask

kelbly

Thanks for that, i'll give them a call, before i go to the library.

my forms are double sided, and the library hasnt got one of those good photocopiers, so will take a while!

god i feel sick!!

I know that feeling. Dont know if it helps but if you want to know what its like have a read of my story: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1012833

Hopefully it will take a few mins to read and your mind off it and this was only a few weeks ago.

I would say its a really interesting day but the weight off your shoulders tonight will be unreal.

Hi,

that did sound rather painless, but alot of waiting around! My dad reckons he waited about 1/2 hour and it was all over and done with, I guess it depends how much is going on in court today

k2nga

Yeah i agree. I think mine took longer because it was a drop in. I got there at 8am as i was told they could only handle 6 a day so best get there early but you could turn up for the drop in up until 10:30 so i guess they booked the judge everyday at 11am for BR's. It was quite relaxing as i went to the nearby Tesco and have a breakfast which was super cheap and bought a paper to read sat in the carpark so fair stress free.
