i've handed in the keys, now they want to take me to court!

from Pendle (denise@amun-ra.demon.co.uk)
I handed in my keys and voluntary surrender form to the Halifax on 8th February.

On 15th February I received a summons for possession from the Court (dated 12th) from Halifax solicitors Walker Morris with a court date 0f 26th April.

I rang the Halifax and asked them why this was being done when they already had possession of the property and it was in the process of being marketed. Halifax told me that this had been done in error and they would speak to Walker Morris. I spoke to Walker Morris again last week and they won't discuss the issue. They say they have asked for an adjournment until June. I've kept on asking them why they are asking for possession of a property when their client already has possession - they won't give me a straight answer.

I've checked with the court and as far as they are aware, there is a hearing on 26th April, there is no adjournment.

Should I go to the hearing anyway? Its in the town where my house is and not where I live now, and its quite a long journey which I'd like to avoid. I haven't filled out the reply sheet that came with the summons either.

Also, I've now just received a letter from the Halifax saying that the solicitors costs are #336!!!

Any advice gratefully appreciated.
