Stop Press - View On Oft/bank Announcement

Thanks for all the good advice.

We filed with MCOL against Abbey on 16th July for approx £2300. They have until 4th August to reply...does this mean that if we don't hear anything from the Court or Abbey between now and the 4th we can enter a judgement by default?

Glad to hear that Credit Cards are unaffected by the Test Case...watch out MBNA here I come!!!

Yes but as the 4th is a Saturday, they will be given the Monday as well to respond - and they might well use it.

I'm with the natwest and started my claim on 10th June threatened court action 2 weeks ago was due to file this week. Does anyone know if a court date has been set for them and how long the process could take? Also being with NATWEST and this wasn't included in the list of banks going to court will it still be put on hold??

PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD TO SUGGESTED QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER.

E.g. (more for my own notes than any other)

i. Will court fees be refunded via MCOL if cases won't be heard.
ii. Will cases currently scheduled still be heard
iii. Will cases that haven't been acknolodges via MCOL still go through
iv. What will happen to cases that have already been put to the FOS.

If you have not commenced proceedings you can still do so.

Sorry, but the terminology is UNLAWFUL. Payment system will be changing soon. I think we will be paying for bank accounts soon. I have believed this before MSE started a thread on reclaiming bank charges.

Hi,Could anyone give me any advice?
I have got as far as giving the halifax 14 days notice before going to court,and their time is now up(I was asking for £1690 but offering to take 1300 for quick settlement),and now not sure what to do.Have just seen a reply enquiring about hardship cases and also read Daily mail articles about only paying out when customers are dying.
Don't want to sound gloomy on a Sunday morning but I am,as I have terminal cancer,and don't know that I will be around to see any test case,and as my illness has caused financial hardship,would they possibly be sympathetic? I have mentioned this in my letters to them, but so far have only received the standard refusal.
Any suggestions folks?
Thanks
Anne:rolleyes:

I can't imagine many of us could argue greater harship... THat lot is never sympathetic as a group, but it is really worth trying. You're obviously trying to carry on as "normal" and I wish you the very bewst of luck with everything! x

Hi, I was about to file at court for a claim against Natwest as I have had no reply from my LBA. With the Test case stuff going off I did not know if I should file a claim with the courts? or write to FOS under the Harship waiver? I am a single parent caring for 2 disabled children and the bank charges applied were taken out of my benefits, this was my only income paid into my account.

Many Thanks

I think we need more information as to what classes as a Hardship case.

What will happen to cases that are already in the hands of the Bailiff. I have received a Notice of Warrant dated 24th July. Will this be executed, if not what have I paid for?

:huh:
