I was just wondering if any one can help me-my mam is looking for the phrase that you can use in court to say that bank charges are illegal-but without actually using the word "illegal"
A man apparantly used it in his court case and it helped him win
this is what she wrote (she is too shy to write on here!)
I am still trying to find that one phrase that is 'all important' apparently to win the case. It's something where I can say the charges are 'illegal' without actually using the word 'illegal' if you understand. I know it's on Martin's website because I read it when I guy had just been to court and he'd used the phrase necessary - it's what won him the case.

Why is a person that handles your money called a broker?!

There are two words that spring to mind, Cat: Disproportianate and UnlawfullI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

And this is Cattie1's mam saying thank you to everyone for trying to help. Court case against LloydsTSB this afternoon at 3pm - but I'm not holding out much hope.
Thanks again though.Marya0 -

Just think positive. We'll all be thinking of you, so good luck and let us know how it goes. :beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.

Thanks rog2 - but I can't figure out why all I have ever been asked for from the court is my bank statements - they haven't required anything else and the judge has decided the case will only take 15 minutes and that's without the bank being there. Doesn't look good. I will let you know how it goes though. Thanks again for the support.Marya0 -
just to let you all know-nothing happened-the bank turned up when they said they wouldn't and didn't seem to know what they are doing-the case has now been put off till oct 2008!:eek:official dfw nerd club member no 214
