Oh yeah, good point about the c.a!! hmm! i'm going to refuse to agree to it with mine - but he's not interviewing me! i didn't do the MP letters etc.

Also, as a footnote, did you see on Watchdog tonight? they said at the end that they want to hear from people regarding bank charges!!

Dont forget Kerry......lots of people are signing the ca not just to end the matter and get the money quicker.........there is an ahem (cough again )....mutual interest between claimant and defendant..........I dont blame anyone for asking for some mutual benefits to sign........in fact these mutual benefits can represent up to 50% of the claim itself......nuff said.......

I am afraid you will have to be prepared for all options.
However the likelyhood of you having to go to court is very very slim and if you read the threads in the Bag you will see that.
There is the coury buddy system if it does mean you having to go which should mean you wont be alone !

Hi there , I am new to this forum. I sent my banks a primilinary letter with my schedule of charges, after 12 days i had a reply,,,, it was written by a customer Care representive, stating due to the nature of the issue they need to forward my concern to the customer relation unit, and that they will contact me within the next ten days.
Is Customer Care Team and CUstomer Relations Unit pretty much the same thing, they do state i can contact them before 10 days with a number provided, but i would prefer to converse by letter.

Does this sound like progress ....?

Please repspond

OMGoodness, Ive just spent about half an hour reading this entire thread. Im amazed, fired up, laughing like a drain, and also just totally inspired by Mr. Toilet Bandit. What a man. I totally felt his pain throughout the process the Nastywest put him through, but what a guy. Not perturbed, disturbed, or knocked off the path of justice. I havent laughed so much in ages, at some of the posts on here. Was feeling a bit down about the process so far, but this has just completely inspired me to carry on with my own. My own post already started fendy - v- NatWest, so will carry on posting on there with step by step. Just filed MCOL today so will keep everybody posted. In case you do log back into this at any time in the future Mr. Toilet Bandit. I THINK YOU ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING. I cant say well done enough, and I wish you such a happy life. All round good guy I think. Not many of them to the pound. ABSOLUTELY UTTERLY WELL DONE, MY ADMIRATION FOR YOU HOLDS NO BOUNDS. Thanks for the inspiration when mine was flagging a little. I just hope I can hold my nerve with the same dignity you did throughout. I think you should write a book. Your posts were hilarious whilst also being serious. I had tears running down my face at times. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for cheering me up and onward in this fight with the vultures in this world.

HELP!

Hi all, these threads are addictive, have been at work for an hour and not been off this site yet!!

Can anyone help? I have been posting on Moneysavingexpert and someone gave me this link for help, what nice people!

Well I started my claim back in October and I am still waiting, I received a order of judgement to reply to Cobbets CRP18 which I did and also attached my own further request for information, much the same as everyone else, I gave them until 23rd March to answer and of course have heard ZILCH!! Can anyone suggest what I do next? Do I write to the court, if so what do I say?

Fellow claimaints help!
