Whizzkid v Abbey - Round 2 - Page 7

whizzkid001 · 12th May 2006, 16:06

lol. Well I reckon mine must be the longest-running waiting for them to pay up, the sheer frustration of seeing dozens of people get settlements who'd filed claims months after I had! I tell ya, wouldn't want to go through this again!!! Judge was spot on, saw right through them after the evidence I presented to him! Justice has definitely been served!!

Whizzkid001 - Well Done. Now, don't spend it all at once!!!

omfg, well done!

Contact the press and make sure they're there!

If the bailiffs do go in (i.e if they don't pay up over the weekend) this will be fantastic publicity!

Woo Hoo!!!!

Excellent News!!

Just the pick-me-up I needed today, as Abbey have decided to force me to take them to court under the Data Protection Act!

whizzkid001 · 12th May 2006, 17:11

OMFG!!

Bad news! I have JUST this minute returned from the court as I'd wanted to see it in b&w for myself.....it is NOT what they told me on the phone at all, someone got their knickers in a twist on the phone & told me totally wrong info. The letter just given to me is as follows:

"The matter has been referred to the District Judge who has commented that the matter raised is a matter for the District Judge at the hearing on 2nd June 2006."

So, nothing has actually changed, except that the info I gave the judge will be bought up now. I guess that's something, where before 99.9% of claims were almost automatically granted a set aside, I guess at least he'll hear some strong evidence why it should not be granted.

Cannot believe the court can be so inept, I am so angry!!!!!!

Can the court really be as &*$^ing inept as Shabby?

Still, seeing as the charges are unlawful in any case, the best that this greedy Spanish institution can hope for is damage limitation.

I am still awaiting my Data Protection Act information whilst returning letters to them pointing out that it's not "my opinion" that the charges are illegal, it's a fact and that threats to close my account if I serve notice are also illegal. They have 8 days to comply now.

We'll all get our out of court settlements I suspect - they really don't want to open the floodgates.

Unlawful I think - not illegal? The difference being it is not a criminal offence but an offence at common law.
Good luck Whizkid!

Sorry to hear the bad news. One thing that i am learning during this process, is not to get your hopes up. (sorry, that sounds really condecending - it's not meant to!) We both have had judgements made, warrants executed, and then for Abbey to flout the law and get them potentially overturned.

I suppose it is these tactics that will make alot of people say 'sod it' and give up.

Keep your chin up, stiff upper lip and all that. We both know that we will get our money back - it's just a case of when.

On the flip side. Just think, every day that Abbey fart arses around, drags their feet and is generally a pain in the you know what, interest is accrueing on the amount we are claiming, in my case a whole £1 a day! Who-hoo! OK, its not like winning the lottery - mind you, as i've only ever won £10, i suppose it's better than that at the moment, but it is something.

Bring forth the 2nd June .........
