Hang in there, they want people to get frustrated and give up every one who does saves them money. I started this process nearly 6 months ago and I am not even close to bored yet. The thing is its costing them money now not us, as once it gets to the court stage you can 8% interest to your claim or go down the contractual rate of interest route which costs them even more. Whatever time you thought this would take treble it and if you get money earlier its a bonus.

Also as you may be aware small claims rulings can not make legal precedent and thats why the banks go down this route constantly to drag things out, but the Judges are getting more and more frustrated with this flagrant abuse of the legal system when the law is so clear. As a result many cases in england have been referred to The Merchantile Court by the judges in small claims , there is a hearing with 40 or more cases tomorrow. If it wins and I pray it does it will make a legal precedent that the banks will have grave difficulty overcoming and ignoring and they may be forced to settle earlier as it is likely further attempts to delay will infuriate the judiciary even more as a clear legal precedent has been set.You can follow threads about this in the subsection of the general forum, merchantile courts

Good Luck

ANY update on cases in Northern Ireland.
All appears to have gone very quiet from Northern Ireland claimants (myself included).
Sent prelim to FAT Trust on 30/01/07, still awaiting acknowlegement.
Track and Trace for recorded mail showing nothing (then again Subject Access Request request sent 14/12/06, still not showing either).

Bank has 40 days to respond to Subject Access Request - so they appear to be well over time limit and are in default. Seek further guidance to next step on your bank's threads. Wish you well.
