You would think so, but as "offers/gestures of goodwill" there was no admittance of liability and therefore no precedence could be set.No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.
Proud to be a Friend of Niddy.
no idea what my nerdnumber is - i am now officially nerd 229, no idea on my debt free date0 -
Thanks Oscar
So what about the people who did win in court?
Goodwill or not, I still think that by coughing up there was an acceptance of wrongdoing by the banks. This was a veil to their deceit.Karma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -

You are probably older then me, wiser than me, own your own house have a bigger car than me and have a much easier username to write, etc, etc,...to be honest, I wasn't really saying anything other than what I am prepared to do. I couldn't care less about your size or history.
It reminds me of the quote "life is not dictated by the number of breaths we take but on the moments that take our breath away".0 -
Similar to what happened with the Ian Hamilton QC v Royal Bank of Scotland in so much that it was pased to the High cvourt instead of being dealt with in Small Claims Court..........However you state Millions in the plural, while outwith the means of "most poor punters" the costs would not be in the millionsOthers sources suggest an individual may not only need significant legal help, but also a pot of gold as a claimant could face costs of millions as the banks will challenge and appeal any judgemet that goes against them, possibly all the way back up to the Supreme Court0 -

Yes, the comment he made came across like a child in the playground

I answered that question you asked of me. "Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
Don't waste money on court fees attempting to fight a lost battle
But I have not personally. I did not spend a penny except the £10 SAR fee which was refunded each time.
I don't recommend anyone starting a court reclaim at present.
In my 3 current account reclaims, I did not need to issue court papers. The power of the written word, persuasion and argument worked for me.
In 1 mortgage reclaim the exact same thing.
All came with interest.:T
On another site, thousands were helped to do the exact same thing.:cool: :T
