Thanks for that will do:T

8 weeks are their complaints procedure. You only have to wait that long if you are thinking of using the Financial Ombudsman. If you want to file a court claim, YOUR timescale is 2 letters x 14 days each and then file the claim.

i was getting all the letters stating " it will take 4 weeks , blah , blah. but just do as martin says and you will win...:j :money:

Hi. just wondering if you went as far as going to court before you got your settlement.They have paid £285 into my account as a goodwill gesture but my claim is for over £5,000 i also got the 4 weeks letters,I sent my first letter on 1st march and am now wondering whether to go to court or FO.

Also meant to ask were Abbey aware that you had moved address? If so i wouldnt be too happy about them sending financial info to another address. If any problems refer to the Information Commissioner.

I had abbey call me this morning as i had nothing going into my bank account when i started my charges claim and when the lady was speaking to me she said oh its ok sir, theres just been a credit of £400.00. just waiting for the letter to come to confirm it and i can then send my refusal.

Hi All,
Served Abbey with MCoL on 2nd July, they have filed a defence on the 4th of July, do they usually defend so quickly, or is it because I'm trying to get back over £2500. From reading the other threads, they normally wait until the last day to file a defence, any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sparky,
I am also claiming from abbey, MCOL "issued" my claim on 02/07/07 so I am assuming it was "served" yesterday. I have checked on line and it still says issued, can I just ask how do you know when they have filed a defence?

GOOD LUCK!
