Swindon court appears to be dealing with it on a case-by-case basis. The lady said that the judges were making the decision on whether or not to stay.

Morpeth County Court are still hearing cases.

But those with confusion surrounding the particulars are being stayed.
With the opportunity for a stay being lifted of course. Spoke to the court guy Friday.

Hi Guys,

After seeing through one credit card claim with my local county court and winning just before Christmas I was just about to put in my second credit card application last week and was told that the court is now staying all credit card claims as well. Could anyone please tell me of any County Courts who are not staying credit card claims, and if so is it ok to post my claim forms to a court that is not staying claims?

Thanks.

s far as I know Walsall aren't staying cc claims. My last one was November though so it may have changed since then. I'm pretty certain you can file anywhere you like.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks very much for that. Does anybody know of any other courts that are continuing to hear credit card claims?

Thanks.

All the county courts should still be hearing claims for crredit card claims against unlawful charges as they are not included in the test case for a "stay". It is apparent there is some confusion and some courts seem to be applying stays to these claims, the test case is for unlawful charges applied to current accounts (bank accounts) so if your credit card charge claim is stayed by your court then you can dispute this.

Eastbourne CC have stayed my claim against Crap one even though the court received a letter from them saying they had paid me. Crap one then decided not to pay me based on the stay.

I am in the same position as you, and countless others, I'm afraid.

My case had been stayed until 31 March 2008, but I received a letter yesterday which can be viewed on the RBS page under my ongoing thread.

If anybody can tell me whether I can appeal at this juncture, please let me know how, as I have 5 days remaining from the court deadline stipulated.

Thanks.

You must enter a denial & state that you are unable to plead a defence & counter claim until the OFT case is concluded as any counter claim by you will include penalty charges which may exceed the claimants sum.

In view of this fact request the court stay the claim after all whats good for the goose etc
