Timings for MCOL/court
Comments
-
I applied to MCOS to claim my bank charges back. The bank acknowledged within 14 days. I understand that then gives them another 28 days to file a defence. The acknowledgment was dated 10th Sept and I received a letter saying they would apply for a stay but MCOS shows nothing more and I make it that their time is almost up.
If nothing changes can I then apply for judgment by default or have they done all they need to?
Thanks.0 -
You won't be allowed to tick the judgement box until the correct time and if this falls over a weekend the bank will be allowed an extra day to enter a defence.
If they do enter a defence then its likely that MCOL will automatically apply a stay on your case.0 -

Just a quick question, but just want a bit of advice/re-assurance...
Going through an m-col against Barclaycard, it showed up (ONLINE) as "defence" on the 11th SEPTEMBER....but i have recieved nothing from the courts apart from the standard letter that the claim has been acknowledged.
Is this correct? and if so, what should i be expecting and when?......
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Vicky,
I think Im right behind you because I should be able to apply for 'judgement by default' tomorrow assuming the bank dont put in their defence today so Id be interested to hear how yours goes.
I assume yours is for bank charges not credit card?
Thanks

Vicky,
Doing it myself with help from this site. Actually I miscalculated and cant issue the judgement notice til thursday so I guess theyve still got til then to enter something so we'll see what happens.
Keep in touch,
