Letter from bank/solicitor during Moneyclaim online process...

As you can see from the above posts its not unusual and as this list forms your defence that will be why they require it, even as you can see from above they already have this information from you.

Basically just send off what they ask for and if you have probems with the AQ have a read of the thread linked above.

I got a letter off Cobbetts after I started sueing the Natwest.

They ask me to provide many things, the first three are;

1. This request is served pursuant to CPR Part 18 alternatively with regard to CPR rule 27.2(3)

3. You are asked to provide a response to this request in accordance with CPR Part 18 by **March.


I have only heard from them but not the court.

Can anyone help & tell me what I do next please.

Thanks a million.

Its quite standard for cobbets to do this so don't worry.

Firstly how much s your claim for ? PART 18 isn't applicable preallocation or for small claims. It would be applicable in fast track.

CAG has some good info about this request I'll nip and get you a couple linkies to read.

At the defence stage it appears that the NatWest solicitors are asking claimants to complete a Cpr part 18.
They claim they have insufficient POC and request the claimant to send this to them.There is no requirement to do this and the letter below can be sent in response.
Dear Sir or Madam:
Claim No:

I Acknowledge the receipt of the defence posted on behalf of National Westminster Bank plc.
I am not prepared at this stage to answer the CPR Part 18 Request. I anticipate that the claim will be allocated to the small claims track and would not then expect to have to deal with a Part 18 request since these are specifically excluded under Part 27 unless the court specifically orders me to do so of its own initiative
Furthermore I consider that the CPR part 18 request is intimidatory and I intend to bring the intimidation to the notice of the court. However, for clarity, I confirm the charges I am claiming were applied to the following account:
Account Name:
Account number:
Sort Code:

Please also find enclosed a breakdown of all charges I am claiming.
Yours Faithfully

Hi everyone! Can anyone help me please. I recived the Allocation form today. HSBC is defending my claim in full( I closed the account a year ago because of their charges). In the same post is a letter from their solicitor stating in order for them to investigate my claim they require me to provide a fully itemised breakdown of the amount claimed.They want a list of the dates,description and value of the charges. They say they are unable to address the claim without the information sought and which will serve to delay any potential resolution. Do I need to supply the info to them? I would have thought they already know the details of the charges as I sent a list to the bank. I dont know what to do. Will it put my claim in jeopardy if I supply what they want. Has anyone else had one of these requests from their bank's solicitor at this stage.
Cheers!

Yes lots of people have. It is a common tactic to attempt to scare you somehow. Dont be too worried by this, the wording is meant to scare you and means little in effect. I personally think its highly unlikely the bank havent already given them this information. I'd not hire a solicitor and only give them half of what they need. :rolleyes:

Shrug your shoulders and send them a copy of the list of charges that you sent to the bank. A very good suggestion I saw is to fax them the details. Ring them for the fax number if this is on the letter (it should be). Your local post office can fax documents for a small charge, probably not much more than first class recorded post anyway. Fax = instant receipt, minimal delay of your claim

Good luck

ThanksTwinkley, this is very reassuring and helpful. I am off to send a fax.

Hi folks

I am in the middle of taking my bank to court. Im up to the stage in the process where Ive submitted my claim, theyve acknowledged, and submitted their defence. I thought now we just waited for the courts to set a date?!

But I've recieved a letter today saying the following:

"Me v HSBC Bank

Our client has passed to use the Claim Form which you have issued, detailed above. In order that we may investigate your claim with our client we shall be pleased if you will provide use with a fully itemised breakdown of the amount claimed within your Claim Form. In this respect, and by way of example of the information we are seeking, we require an itemised list of the date of the charge, description of the charge and the value of the charge tofater with a note of the interest, if any, you have claimed.
At this juncture we are unable to address your claim without the informatino sought and which will serve to delay any potential resolution to the matter."

Okkkk - why would I provide their defence with this information???? Should I give them it? Can anyone advise please?

Thanks
Si

As the above posts, send them the list again if it keeps them happy even although you have already provided this.

I proceeded with court action against hsbc on the 21/02/2007, havent heard anything until this morning and that was a letter from their solicitor requesting a break down sheet of all charges i am claiming. they now have until the 27/03/07 to make their defence. How long do i legally have to forward this requested information to their solicitor? should i send it today or wait till the 26th to give them the smallest time possible to prepare their so-called defence?
