I just cant help but feel that this sort of thing is very shady indeed, if not illegal, I cant imagine a circumstance where they would need to be "retyped"

bumping this cos I would like a few of the mods to take a look at this and let me know what they think, its bugging the hell out of me or perhaps i am making a mountain out of a molehill

I wish I was, just making notes as I am talking

Just rang them back, they wont give out the number of the microfiche department, and after I questioned them further there seemed to be a serious amount of backtracking going on as to what is actually happening to them, I did ask, that if the microfiche were unreadable then where are they getting the information from? she said that she didnt think that they were unreadable just some things needed retyping, but I couldnt find out why. who shall I ring now? I am thinking that they have seriously ballsed it all up and given me info that they shouldnt have given me, Is it illegal to tamper with this info?

I have been hounding the Shabbey since 7th June for my copy statements, each time they have stated that they are "in the post" Yesterday I blew up at them and told them quite plainly that I thought that they were lying to me. Well today i call and this poor girl who i have spoken to quite a few times now went and spoke to the manager of the Microfiche dept and came back saying that they were having problems with fiches from 1999 to 2004 and that they were having to be sent "upstairs" for the missing items to be typed in!! I am finding this very difficult to swallow, when an item is microfiched, surely it is just copied like on a photocopier? why would items be missing? I think that this is quite worrying but am at a loss as to what to say to them any advice or observations? Confused and wet of Stevenage (its just started to thunder!!)

It made absolutely frightening watching and those families of those poor individuals was absolutely soul wrenching, it seems to me that there needs tobe an independent body to regulate and penalise (yes that word again) the banks to make then act more responsibly and to stopmaking the british public their private milch cows

In about 39.5 days:cool:

Earl Grey and Rich Tea biccies???? perlease, strong black coffee and Jaffa cakes is what is in order here please

"(2) On receiving a request under this section, the Commissioner shall make an assessment in such manner as appears to him to be appropriate" I think that this section might be the crux of the matter, will the commissioner think it appropriate to go and look? I am beginning to think not

Wasnt mine was it?

Semi, you are not "seriously" suggesting that members of our esteemed and ancient legal profession might stoop to something a little less than the truth in order to get their way are you?? for shame sir

Semi's gone in all guns blazing LOL You dont take any prisoners do you Pussycat )) Well done

Can a mod please change the title of my thread to the above - ta very much

OOOOO changed your pants yet??? Good luck, we are all behind you

get thee behind me CrispDust, I want to be there too , if it ever gets that far, which I doubt:D

Well? have the jury come to a decision yet?

ahhh would I be right in presuming that the said property is in florida? (hence Seminole?)

I didnt mean it like that , LMAO I meant your financial situation , I am still struggling with an o/d understated !!!!!!!!!! OMFG:o

No wonder you have been quiet tonight, but I have to say, you have my admiration for turning it all around relatively quickly

Probably unchartered territory, but how unprofessional, just hsows they arent fit to manage anything much

Something else that I have been mulling over these past few days. I am the head of a huge bank that makes billions every year, a ruling comes down saying that the penalties that I am charging is unlawful, what is the first thing I do? I go to a very highly paid legal practitioner, long expert in these matters and ask for advice. In this case it would seem that the advice given is this, it would seen that you have been unlawful in making these charges but make life long and hard for these low lifes that dare to claim anything bank and question a banks integrity, but ultimately you will have to pay up because eventually some clever dick will come along and ask for more than the small claims court can cope with and you may have to go to Court and disclose how you came to be charging so much, and I dont think you want to be doing that do you? does this train of thought make any sense? or is this just in my own little world?

Add the 30 quid to your claim, you have enough to think about without fighting them on two counts. i am not sure that they will let you get as far as County court, they kicked and fought as long as they could over the statements, perhaps they are all fought out and the fact that you have the statements is their way of conceding defeat, perhaps it may be worth just putting in your adjusted claim and hiding under the table until the postman brings your cheque via securicor, seriously though, i would be sh1tting bricks i am not very experienced in all this but i am sure that i can speak for all of us who have watched your thread with great interest, when I say that you have our full backing and support

LOL I perhaps should have said Pratchet - esque, I had goblins and knarled trees and shelves of higgeldy piggeldy books whirring around my head [MODERATED: Please do not post libelous comments on this forum]

oooo You are blooming spooky, I have been thinking about all that, all evening

i think that the poor bloke is lying down in a darkened room in total and utter shock;-)
