If anyone could give me some insight into this letter I have received from my local court it would be appreciated

The court has made this order of its own initiative without a hearing. if you object to the order you must make an application to have it set aside, varied or stayed within 7 days of receiving it upon reviewing the court file and considering the letter dated 1st April 2009 from the claimant

    need more detail, do you have a complaint/claim pending against Abbey, or are they chasing you for something?

    In simple terms the judge has put your case on hold pending the outcome of the Bank Charges case in the Lords.

    Interestingly I got a press release yesterday (I am a part-time journalist) from a firm called Black Knight Associates who are giving away a piece of software that allows you to reclaim Bank Charges so plainly some people are being successful

    Not from Lloyds they are not.
