    quick question, using the 2nd letter template from the thread, where it says insert court name, I am assuming this will be the county court I lodge my proceedins with.

    Can anyone confirm this??

    YES THAT'S CORRECT.

    I understand the list of courts are on the site above

    do you have a link :beer:

    if you use MCOL to issue the claim, then it will probably be Northampton courts - i just issued 2 claims on the halifax on 2nd 4th, and they just settled both out of court - not before telling me they were due to defend my claim.

    7k claimed back in total.

    If you use MCOL to claim. Your claim starts in Northampton, but if the bank enters a defence, it will be transfered to your local county court. This is the court you put on the letter, not Northampton.

    Just had a phone call from halifax to make me an offer on my claim for £270. and he made me an offer of £175:rotfl: . Not a chance. told him i would accept no less than £250. now my letter is in the post and i will have my £250 in the bank very soon.:beer:
    now just waiting for Barclays court date for £3500 of charges.
    Not just a white vanman:cool:

    Hi all

    Date is up tomorrow for my 2nd letter, 3rd one will be actioning the court letter. Trying to claim back £1,674.00. Shall I call them with my reference number as I have heard nothing at all and see what the outcome is.??

    Getting quite scarry but determined to fight all the way.

    You don't need to contact the bank. Just send the next letter.

    Thanks for that. I understand it's the small claims note . Looking at this I will then input the charges and the spreadsheet works out the interest. Do I contact the courts first as I am unsure whether I have to pay the £120.00 as I am claiming JSA and WFTC/TC. Any help Rex would be fab.

    Thanks again
