Thread: Removal of Stay from bank charge case

I have recently been made redundant and had my case against Barclays 'stayed' in October 2007. When informed of my redundancy about a fortnight ago I called Bromley Court to ask how to go about removing the stay and was told it was impossible.
Is this the case? Has anyone else come across this? I was under the impression in times of hardship the judge would proceed regardless of where in the long winded process the Banks are with the government regulators?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Go back to the bank as your circumstances have changed. Be aware though that many banks will not pay out in full/partially on a bank charges case unless there is arrears on "priority debts" and even then, some are not even paying out.
There is no chance that a stay will be lifted IMHO.
