My case against National Westminster Bank was stayed earlier this week in the Altrincham County Court.

Just phoned Luton court, and they said that they are staying all cases on their own initiative without any application from the bank, apparently I will be getting a letter to confirm this.

I am Hoping that this list will help in our argument to have stays set aside, by demonstrating to judges that (at the moment) the majority of courts are continuing with claims on a case by case basis, which is a fair and just way to continue.
I also hope to raise the awareness a bit, it may give us all a bit of hope if anyone was fearing the banks letters were right saying all cases were stayed when in fact they werent.

All the below seem to be playing by a case by case basis and appear to be all proceeding as normal:

Hartlepool stayed my credit card claim with citicards on wednesday

[Frenchbulldog]

Hi there - Oxford County Court are saying business as usual and they have had no instructions to treat claims for Bank charges any differently from before the OFT announcement.

Luckily for me as I won yesterday - Post OFT and the Judge refused NatWest a stay! Good luck to all as I know it is a bit of a lottery at the moment.

This comprehensive and very accessible guide will take you through the process of suing or defending a claim. This guide will help you take control of your litigation and make you more confident about doing it yourself. Applies to England and Wales

	Bank Charges You should have started your claim for your bank charges by now. Don't wait. You should send your bank a Subject Acess Request asking for all personal data they hold on you - not just statements. You should calculate all of your bank charges and related interest as far back as 1995. You should send your bank a demand for a refund giving them 7 days. You should commence your legal action adding 8% statutory interest. If you wait for the outcome of the test case, you may not be able to claim like this. you may not be able to claim interest. You may only be offered the difference between the charge and the OFT "fair charge". The repayment scheme will try to limit you to refinds from 2001 only. A repayment scheme will not deal with any bank charges related defaults on the credit register whereas in a court action you can ask for these to be removed and to be compensated for the damage caused to you and your family by them. You should also write to the bank and to the CRA and put all charges related credit entries in disupte and warn them that you will want them removed from the Register when the test case is over. Warn them also that you are likely to be seeking compensation for these wrongful data entries. Full and final settlement Have you previously accepted a partial repayment of your bank charges in full settlement? You will still be able to claim the rest of your money back after the Test case is decided. Get all your information back to 1995 and put in your claim now.

For what reason, was it to allow settlement or due to the OFT announcement, if it is the latter then you need to apply to have it set aside as the OFT case is not about credit card claims

Hi yes the DJ stayed my claim while awaiting the OFTs announcement, I told him that the OFT were ruling on bank accounts and not credit card claims but he was having none of it, citi had failed to comply for full disclosure so their defence should have been struck out, ive poosted the details on my thread groovycaz v citicards..Gc

[cajdad]

Lady at Ashford County Court told me she thought their DJ was going to stay all claims. I haven't had definite confirmation yet though - I'm waiting to hear something on two claims.

Theres a trend appearing here which doesnt look good

[thetenter]

New cases now stayed at Bristol Courts

[Dr Hunter]

To any MODS, this thread must be important enough to warrant becoming a sticky.

[cajdad]

I agree - this ought to be a Sticky now.

Also, could Baconbuttyman's post (#4 above) now be edited so it doesn't show the original list? When scrolling quickly through the thread to look for the list it's easy to confuse that list with ICY's updated one.
