Barclays are already abusing the FSA waiver.

They are claiming that credit cards are covered, and they are ignoring the hardship rule.

The waiver should be scrapped.

Do you have proof that Barclays are abusing the waiver?

Hi Martin,

Other forum members have reported that Barclays, and other card companies, are using the test case as an excuse not to respond to credit card claims. They are even telling the courts, that the test case will include credit cards. The FOS confirmed to me yesterday, that credit cards are unaffected.

I personally wrote to Barclays, asking them for a case to be looked at under the hardship rule, and they replied saying that they will look at it after the test case.

I will be writing to the FSA , OFT and FOS about this.

A big thank you for all you have done for consumers over the last few years. You can see from my signature, that i have had much success, all thanks to you and the forum members.

Add this to the money saved from insurance, gas, electric etc, and i may be able to get out of debt one day, something that would not have been possible without you.

Jonesys,

EdinburghLass is correct as always.It seems that some courts use different language to describe some of these hearings. Mine is supposed to be a Directions hearing, but I think it is the same as what you are coming up to.

Regardless, at least the judge in Llanelli is being co-operative and not Staying the proceedings like they are in Cardiff.

I sent my application to have the Stay removed on Monday by recorded delivery and know that it was delivered yesterday. Hopefully, I may hear anytime from today onward whether my application was successful.

Ironically, as a Swansea resident, it woul have been closer to have had my hearing in Llanelli rather than Cardiff, but the Swansea County Court switched mine to Cardiff a while back. Cardiff CC 45 miles away from me, Llanelli CC 13 miles away from me. Hmm, do ya think someone is trying to put me off ? lol

Hi Jester,
I received a letter from SCAM today stating that they have written to Llanelli court today asking for a stay, and that i am to write to them and the court whether or not i am in agreement with them.
I tried to ring the court but i didnt get in from work till 5.30 so it was too late. the letter i received has really annoyed me because it is all one sided, and sounds as if the stay has already be granted. One thing i did pick up on was the fact that, they state in the letter that Lloyds TSB has asked the FOS not to proceed with any complaint they are handling until the outcome of the OFT. Could i use this in my defence as this is my own personnal claim against Lloyds and has nothing to do with the FSO. Are my wrong? i am not familier with the court system so might be barking up the wrong tree.
Hope you've had some joy with Cardiff?

Re:

Sorry the number i called was 01264 725214. But i have since found out it was a load of rubbish i rung them back and they said i had a wrong number and they wouldnt deal with claim. Even when i asked for an out of court settlement they said that id have to write in to them and by the time they had opened the letter it would be after the court case. I have today had a letter from SCAM informing me that they have applied for a stay. Keep you updated

My hearing against HSBC is to go ahead! They owe me £1700 in bank charges.
I called the court this morning (Clerkenwell & Shoreditch) and was told the hearing is still on. Im assuming its because i had the court date before the 27th announcement.
Guess HSBC will try to stall it - hopefully they will just pay up!!!:j
