Hi Guys, Does anybody have the correct legal citation for the GLC bank charges case, I am hoping to stop a strike out from the other side. Thanks, TheyrCriminals

Hi BigDebtor, What document are you talking about? TheyrCriminals

Hi, My bank charges claim is due to be thrown out, as are everyones at the Torquay and Newton Abbot County Court, at the end of this month. Is there any chance at all of preventing this and if there is what is the new legal argument to prevent the claim being struck out? In my opinion the test case was corrupted, there can be no doubt in my mind that the economic situation dictated the legal one, I hope everyone can see this. TheyrCriminals

Hi Rebel, This isn't a bad idea at all. Is there no way we could realistically get on board just one celebrity, is there not one person in the celebrity arena that would be prepared to become a public face of this campaign? If we did achieve this it would be a great catalyst for public exposure. Which celebrity isn't a huge fan of capitalism, banks or amoral profiteering? TheyrCriminals

Hi, I can see no valid reason for a generic email sent by an orgainzation to its own members costing £3000. All your paying for is electricity and one person's time!!!!!! TheyrCriminals

Excuse me? £3,000 to email all CAG members? I think not. Who has said this and how can it possibly cost this amount to email all CAG members? TheyrCriminals

Hi Guys, Could I suggest that as it is unlikely we will get all CAG members to donate that maybe we should raise the figure a little to just £2 per donation. I think this is still an affordable figure and would generate alot more revenue for this battle, because whether we like it or not it is going to take alot of money to achieve what we want. This is just a suggestion that's all. TheyrCriminals

Hi, Yes count me in. TheyrCriminals

Hi Tim, You want maximum exposure so don't just decide whether to use newspapers or tv. If I were you I would get as many tv companies, radio stations and newspapers you can possibly speak to who are willing to go with your campaign hopefully they will run with it and even support it. I do know both The Independent and The Daily Mail were ardent supporters of the bank charge reaclaim campaign. I also think you should approach your local tv and radio station as well as your local evening paper who I am almost certain will run with your story. Don't forget the internet as well. Can you private message me your email or phone number and I will do what I can to help. If this can be seen as a very worthy cause which will benefit millions of ordinary consumers and has a good chance of success then what you may find happen is more promiment donors stepping forward to help pay the legal bill. I would certainly approach Martin Lewis, anything is worth a shot at this stage. You have nothing to lose by contacting him. TheyrCriminals

Hi Tim, Can I just say that it is so good to read someone coming forward and attempting a challenge for what could be the last chance for unauthorised overdraft charges. I am more than happy to contribute financially to your quest as I myself have been trying to raise funds to pay a solicitor to read the full Supreme Court judgement and give me guidance as to how to proceed, if we can, with me and my friends stayed claims. However we only have until the 25th November this year to amend PoC's and hopefully get a reprieve. If there was 'an alternative test case' that we could cite it would certainly bolster our chances of a hearing and hopefully our claims would then be stayed pending the result of this test case. When do you think we will know if this test case is to go to full trial? In addition I think that now is the time to start seeking mass publicity for your camapaign. Has any of the CAG site team spoken to you in an official capacity as yet? We need to get the word out there right now, today. So if there is any help we as CAG users can offer realistically then please let me know. I still can't believe there hasn't been one hearing in any English County court of the new legal arguments, do you know any different at all? The Best of Luck, TheyrCriminals

Hi, What on earth am I reading here?! Judges have a tough time?!! Do me a favour - they get paid quite handsomely to deal with these issues and it must be said quite often at the cost of the financially broken consumer. Give up? I gave up on the legal system in November last year when 'something strange' happened in the Supreme Court regarding unauthorised overdraft charges. I, along with many others, can be wholly forgiven for giving up. However I certainly didn't give up the fight. It must be said however MSE and CAG all pinning their hopes on Govan Law Centre coming up trumps smells a little like giving up. TheyrCriminals

Hi Guys, Thanks for your responses. TheyrCriminals

Hi, I would like to start a new thread on how many claimants have had their bank charges claim struck out and why. Can some one please show me how to do this please? TheyrCriminals

Hi, The above link doesn't work. Can you please re-post. Thanks, TheyrCriminals

Well said fergal. As we now know the system screwed over most of us bank charge reclaimers, and I think protest action as well as other democratic actions should now be employed by consumers unless the coalition government steps in which I don't think it will as regards reclaiming past charges. As regards 0845 numbers being used by banks, companies and now government departments and agenices it is quite simply perverse! Greedy Britain at it again. Intelligent and effective action really should be considered at this stage. TheyrCriminals
