Response to I have just recieved the summons for the shortfall claim

I understand that your mortgage must go back some years as these people stopped lending in the early 90's. You do not say when the repo took place or what has gone on since then? However, the phrasing of the summons suggests a certain anticipation of problems for Eagle Star and foil an attempt by you to get it struck due to time limitation. You will need to look elsewhere on this site for examples of where their case may be flawed. You would also be best to get some (proper) legal advice. It occurs to me though that your case could be a precedent setting example that we have all been waiting for; after the failure of the Holmans case to get to appeal. Interestingly, Abbey National were involved in that case, and they are involved in yours. I wonder if you should approach the solicitor who acted for the Holmans, to help you. This could also be a good time to get media inolvement; particularly if MAES/Eagle Star/Abbey National/CIBC are in breach of the CML guidelines. I am sure Eleanor can help with names of journalists. (I anticate taking my own case with Royal and Sun Alliance to the media in about a month - so if yours is still ongoing at that time, it could bolster the press invlovement). I hope also that other contributors to this site will respond to John on the site. This could be groundbreaking stuff. Good luck with this John, and please keep us all informed of your progress.
