Thread: Me v Abbey * Settled in Full *

Mish,
Send your letter before action (by Recorded Delivery) on Tuesday, and then expect to file in court at the end of the time limit (Abbey won`t do anything positive until you file)
Good Luck

hi,

Well Abbey's 14 days were up today - and I got a letter through saying the charges weren't unlawful but as a good will gesture they have refunded all my charges to my account anyway (I checked online and they have!). Can't believe it, all I did was send off the first letter. I suppose it's because I wasn't claiming thousands. Best thing, is tomorrow I have an appointment with them to shut my account down! They may have given me the money back straight away, but they caused me so much stress over the last few months that I really want shot of them.

Now onto my Credit Cards.....

Mish,
Well done with that!!
It`s a shame they failed to use that tactic with mine, it would have saved them a few quid in court fees, and finally appearing in court (which I know they have not ever wanted to do, but will have to now with my one)
Good luck with the Credit Cards

Mish well done with that - despite their saying it's a gesture of goodwill etc.. it's plain they are n the wrong? It's a pity they are messing around with the people who have the bigger claims isn't it? From many of the threads I have read they have given lots of people grief in the past and now they continue to make life difficult for these people rather than hold their hands up and admit there have been problems!!

Nice to see people winning and getting back what was their own money isn't it?

Mish,

Yes - it's the same letters edited for your storecard / credit card is similar process to getting your money back off the bank - you claim the Late Payment fee, and charges etc.. there are lots of good threads in the "other banks" section that show information on Capital 1, MBNA etc.. cards - have a read and you'll see it's similar stuff - get your confidence up to chasing your card money back Have fun!!!

Has anyone heard of abbey actuly attending the court hearing?

bizzer,
Have you tried phoning James Arundale? if not, it could be worth giving him a call to ask if he would like to discuss settlement the day before the hearing.
You`ll proberbly find that he`ll go into a Blind Panic as he sees yet another case slipping through the net (They are now struggling to cope with their caseloads ).
I`m sure James would appreciate the call, and whilst you`ll still need to attend court on Tuesday, it should just be to ask the court for a delay as you have `Struck a Deal` with the Defendant, they will suspend for a month awaiting confirmation from you that the case has been satisfied (ie; you have your money).
As for Abbey ever appearing in court, yes they have, at directions hearings, but the likelyhood of them ever appearing to Justify and explain their charges is fairly remote, infact, I would think that Watford have a better chance of staying in the Premiership this season, than Any bank actually appearing to disclose their charges structure!

And before anyone starts on me about ridiculing Watford FC, I`ve supported them for 40 years:cry:

Let us know how you get on bizzer
