I have always felt Shabby (i will never call them by another name again lol) have taken the p### with regards to their bank charges, so was over joyed when i found this site back in June 2006. I havent had my own internet connection till recently so have had to read in dribs and drabs via work/friends ect. I am now on line so wanted to up date you all on my progress so to speak.

Good work so far.You are at quite an advanced stage so would be good to have a thread in the Abbey bank group.
I will start this for you.
Have a look at other Abbey threads too.

As Martin says, well done.

The court bundle looks complicated, but its not really, and you really have done a lot of work so far, and its nearly over now.

Don't forget, that this process has now returned far in excess of £10 million to CAG users, and its only a matter of time before you will be included in that list.

Keep posting, ask any questions about anything thats worrying/concerning you, and you will get lots of help, after all, when 1 of us wins, we all win

.

Best wishes

Louis

Thanks for words of encouragements how or who do i give my claim details to.

Lula · 26th April 2007, 15:27

just pm a mod, Martin up the top will do it for you LOL

Welcome and keep us updated, there is no feeling like the feeling that you get when you get that email or letter saying that they are going to settle

Blysie · 1st May 2007, 23:56

is it normal to wait this long for a court date.
my aq was handed in @ my local county court on the 30/03/07, abbey had till the 10/04/07. abbey have sent their aq in i still have not recd a copy, i rang the court, lady on the phone suggested i sent a letter in as she could not see why nothing seemed to have been done, all she could see was that we, abbey and i have filed our aq's. ive emailed them this evening hope to hear something by end of the week.

court bundle is so scary but now making sense.

Blysie · 4th May 2007, 11:24

No response to email so I rang the court today was told both AQ have been passed to the judge on Tuesday 1/5/07 so now i am just awaiting the post man.

louis wu · 4th May 2007, 14:06

It looks like the court bundle will be next, have a look through this to pass the time

Basic Court Bundle

It looks more complicated than it really is, and the legal part doesn't need to be fully understood when you first read it. Just get a feel for it at first, and believe me, the more you look at it the more sense it makes.

Thanks Louis
Its all i do read, read and then read some more better to be safe than sorry thats my motto. Once Ive recd my court date i am asking for 36 hrs of preparation cost because its taken me more than a week to get my bundle together do you think this is reasonable. i feel like my computer and I are joined at the hip.

louis wu · 4th May 2007, 23:12

I claimed 20 hours, some claim, some less, it all depends on how comfortable with it. If you get the 36, let us know, as I may claim more next time

Still waiting
My claim is with the judge but due to high amount of claims the court is snowed under. Slowly geting everything in order, this week is all about photocopying, bank statements ect. Nice to see a few member finally get their money back, Well done, you are all an inspiration to us all, still in the struggle against the Big Guns (Shabby)

Blysie · 10th May 2007, 10:46

I rang the Court this morning and was told that my claim has been transfered to the Mercantile Court and notification was sent out to Shabby and I yesterday. Feeling really Nervous but know so will shabs seeing has they seem to pay up quite quicikly once this happens. Looks like i will be getting my Court bundle ready to send. Wow I can not believe the end in near for shabs and I, hehe

Blysie · 10th May 2007, 11:25

hey please reply feeling lonely and nervous, am i doing something wrong? i do not seem to get any replys when i post would be really grateful if someone would fill me in if i am doing something wrong. I PM a Moderater did not mean any offence and i am very sorry if this caused any (MB), i really thought i had abbey bang to right for withholding information. You live and Learn, i am just another eager member wanting my money back
Please someone reply.................... ...............

Lula · 10th May 2007, 11:34

Blysie, RELAX, you have done everything right, have you received the AQ yet? when you do I advise you to seriously consider using the Abuse of Process order for Section G of your AQ, if you need any help with it, someone will be around to help you, sit back and wait now, I bet Abbey will be in touch soon, get a spreadsheet ready for your costs on compiling the Bundle, the court wont need it, but Abbey will want it before paying out.

Take care and good luck

louis wu · 10th May 2007, 12:17

Blysie, there is a forum specifically fore anyone transfered to the mercantile court

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...t-cases-stays/

Although I have not looked into the issue, the general feeling is that this transfer is BENEFICIAL to the claimant (you) and should allow a quicker sucess.

Have a look and then continue with your claim

Louis

Blysie · 12th May 2007, 11:00

Thank you for the replies i recd my letter from the court it states

IT IS ORDERED THAT

The claim be transferred to Mercantile Court.

Dated 02/05/07

It goes on to tell me to sent all future correspondence to

London Mercantile Court @ the Strand.

Is there anything i should be doing other than getting court Bundle ready and reading above thread. Should i also get Costs together or wait for more info from Mercantile court. i know this is meant to be a good thing but do feel nervous as i do not want to be the test case.

Blysie · 12th May 2007, 11:48

How do i get this thread moved to the Mercantile threads

louis wu · 12th May 2007, 15:02

Blysie, you have to PM a mod to move the thread

Have you thought of just starting a thread in the MC forum, and leaving this here so others can still look in?
