the Abbey habit.....is to charge!!!!

[bizzyme64]

I have had unlawful charges taken from my account for years and have had enough. I am however scared that i wont be able to see it through to the end if i start a claim. or wont be able to afford any costs needed to proceed, or that abbey will want my overdraft paid off, or cancel my debit card.Any support anyone can give would be welcome.

1. There's nothing to be scared of, and there's a lot of support here.

2. Max court fee is £120 (claim over £1000) + AQ fee of £100 (claim over £1500)

3. They could ask for the OD back, but chances are your charges are graeter than the OD

4. Abbey, generally are unlikely to cancel card or close a/c

5. Read some of the winners threads in the Abbey Successes forum for reassurance and hopefully inspiration.

Michael you have presumed that the unlawful charges are less than 5K and in that case it is possible that the claimant would have to either break the claim into several claims or alternatively stump up for larger fees.

Just a thought.
