Thank you for your reply. It gives food for thought to anyone in the 65% position, and something to chew on.

Hi GaryH

When you get a moment, could you please have a look at my court order for a stay:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...t-1161455.html

I apologise for the expletives(!) in the post, but I was a bit miffed!

My main questions are:

Can I apply for a time limit to be put on the stay, as per other orders I have seen, or is this pointless insofar as the stay will just be extended until a final judgement is given?

And what does point 5 of the order mean? Is it just a typo, ie not meant to be there, or does it hold a more sinister meaning? Or maybe it means I can apply for costs because they dragged me to court on the 21st having already written the directions the day before!!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jo xx

Hello Gary when you are on thread,

I send this message on here instead of a pvte msg so others can see if it can help them. I requested my stay and faxed over 12th Sept. Ive made enquiries over the last 10 days to get an update. I rang this morn and as the clerks have mentioned in previous phone calls, there should have been a response by now, but it all depends on how quickly the Judge goes through his file. I have assertained my request is in his pile of 'to do'. Do you know if there is a time limit on how long the Judge can take before giving me an answer? If the stay is lifted can Abbey keep requesting stays so we are in a vicious cycle. Can that cycle be broken by a particular order from a Judge?

Many thanks

Determind

Just a thought, if the charges are found to be unlawful, if anyone has accepted any offers of goodwill hopefully you can pursue another case for the interest which has been denied to you because they took your money unlawfully. Not pursued as in a Judge awarding interest, but that you have been out of pocket because of the Bank's actions.

What exactly have you requested?

No. Courts run at their own speed I'm afraid - which in some instances can be infuriatingly slow!

If the stay is lifted at a hearing with both parties present then they cannot then simply apply again for the stay to be re-instated, they would have to appeal to a higher judge. This would be unlikely IMO.

As in the 8% County Courts Act interest? No. See the answer above - once you accept an offer you are accepting it as full and final settlement.

There may be grounds for a seperate restitutionary claim for the 'time value' of the money - I.e the benefit of the funds gained by the bank whilst in its wrongful possesion - which would be measured in compound interest. However even in this instance you may still be barred by the fact you have already accepted a F&F settlement, I'm not entirely sure.

Many thanks Gary. In reply to your question as to the type of stay request sent, I refer to your reply in 'Abbey Court Hearings Important info' post 39 11/9. You linked me to 'Application for removal of a stay' updated to account for the OFT Test case. It would be recd by the Court as a letter request and not attached to any N form and no fee. I decided I was not handing over any more hard earned cash to the system.

Hi Gary when you are on thread,

I have spoken to Court this morn and very helpful clerk will look in Judges tray to see where I am and call me. I mentioned CPR 18 was not answered by Abbey as well. When I sent in my request for a stay I also attached evidence of the charges causing financial problems so that may assist me.

Hi Garry,
I have spent the afternoon preparing an order to remove the stay on my case, but after talking to the Cambridge court I get the impression that it is very unlikely to happen especially as I dont have any particular hardship issues (apart from the SHABBY HAVING OVER £4,000 OF MINE FROM CHARGES). The initial cost has gone up to £40, has there been any succsesses or is it going to be more money into the black hole which is opening up?????

Thanks for your time
Darren

Hi all

On 9th Oct this year I attended Bury county court in relation to my application to remove the stay impsoed by the courts.

THE DISTRICT JUDGE KINDLY REMOVED THE STAY ON THIS OCCASION AND SET A HEARING DATE for 7th January 2007.

Today I have recieved a copy of an appl;ication by Abbey to have the removal of the stay overturned which they have sent to the court with a solicitors witness statement referring to the OFT case.

The court to date have not contacted me as yet, only abbey who sent me the paperwork.

ANY ADVICE GLADLY WELCOMED

Hi Gary

Abbey did not turn up at the removal of stay application hearing. The district judge appeares non to pleased that they did not even submit any objections.

I have tried to negotiate with Abbey as per the DJ advice, but instead they sent me info about them re-applying to have the stay put back

Hi there,

I'm sure an expert will come on site soon in reply to your question but give the Court a ring Monday using the number and details on the form you have just recd.They will be able to answer your questions, i.e is their a Court date for a hearing for your case.
