I have now recieved notice of my Hearing for my wasted costs against Barclays and guess what Same Day and Time

Identical to my Halifax notice

[StoneLaughter]

LOL kool. So you get all out of the way in one hearing... it would be funny to see reps from both Barclays and Hellifax in there together!

[Paule]

I am going to contact both today, Gunita from Halifax & Kate from Barclays, and find out if there will be a representitive from their banks attending or if they just want to settle.

Once ive worded my email, ile post it on here

Ok this is my email

Dear Kate

RE: Application of Costs Hearing : Tuesday 10th July 2007 -
Case 7TSxxxx PKea v BARCLAYS

As you may be aware there is a hearing for the application of my costs involved in the claim that you settled before the court date.

Can you please confirm that a representative of Barclays will be present at the hearing.

I have attached a copy of the hearing notice as well as a breakdown of my charges. I will also be adding another £50 to the costs shown if I have to attend this hearing.
If you wish any further details or to discuss the matter, please contact me by email.

Kind Regards,
PKea

Also if anyone has the email format for Halifax as well that would be great

Thanks, Paul

Ok got a reply from Kate, as follows

Thank you for your email, we were not aware that we had a hearing so I have contacted the court to get them to send us over a copy of the order as we have not received it. We will be sending a barrister to defend this hearing on behalf of the court.
Thanks

Looks like Barclays are coming to play then

[Paule]

I have also now sent the same email to Rachel Hincliffe @ halifax to see what there response is.

If its not financially viable for them to defend a £2000 claim, surely they arent going to send someone to defend £300 are they....but if they do, it shows that their settlement excuse was a crock of crap doesn't it....

[StoneLaughter]

That's a good line. One you could probably use against both "defendants".

[Paule]

Ok, well no response to my email toi Halifax so I thought i woudl give them a call.
For Info Gunita Benjamin no longer works in customer relations.

Any way spoke to girl there who said that i would need to speak to someone form their legal department, nad she took my number and now I am wiating for the call back

Court Tomorrow

Well its court tomorrow.
So today i'll be getting all my bits of evidence together.
Just wondering whether I will have to go through it twice or whether both banks can sit there at the same time..lol
The eveidence is pretty mich the same except Halifax stated it would cost them too much to defend my original claim, so if they turn up to defend £300, that argument doesn't work
With Barclays I have an email stating that a barrister will attend on their behalf, which again has the same argument, except that if no one shows for them, I have it in writing that someone was atttending.
Anyway better start getting my bits sorted

Good luck for tomorrow

[Paule]

I have received the cost schedule from Barclays, but still nothing from Halifax

[iancognito]

Good luck tomorrow, let us know as soon as......

[Paule]

Anyone any experience of 'Hearing of Application'??

[Paule]

Ok, Well todays the Day
Up late last night trying to sort everything
Its bad enough sorting docs out for One case, by Two at the same time strated to get confusing.
But basically the same info for both cases.
Still not sure whether i will be against them together or seperatly.
Otherwise I will be repeating excatly the same information again to the same Judge.

I think I have got everything that I need, if not well I will found out later at court.
