Hi Druid,

In these times where it seems we are up against a wall with these spineless judges it is reassuring to read your update.

This will inspire people to continue and not give up, which I assume is what the banks are relying on.

Good to see there are SOME decent judges out there.

Barclays take note, this one is not going away...

Congratulations on your huge success.

This DOES seem out of character for B's, very suspicious!

but then ive had my head in the sand for a couple of months so not clued up at the moment.

Its weird still seeing this thread up here, seems a little redundant now!

So whats the update these days, last I heard it went to court and had mixed reactions....they seemed to go away and havent come back...

whats going on? has it been adjourned pending some BS.

Has anyone been settled recently.?

Hello guys,

whats been happening while ive been away..lol [apart from the obvious]

Contact Woolwich and inform them that you want written confirmation that states the matter is not outstanding, then go from there.

It depends on when the debt/ amount was satisfactorily cleared to whether the mark on your credit reference will be removed.

ermmm let me think about offering an apology...NO!

Buzby has acted as a mediator to diffuse the argument, Paul has agreed to disagree.but Andy....erm,, wheres his...

there are ways of expressing your difference of opinion without taking the route that Andy did.. Paul found it offensive...and i tend to agree, Andy came across as not willing to see the input Paul was offering as being helpful in saying "yeah what you have is crap but you could try this......"

Andy could have posted along the lines of "well I disagree because...."

There are too many people on this site who come in purely to argue the toss.

and I think it is immaterial to whether Im a site helper or not....

Hi Buz..

Yeah I know you are right....already too many t'sers on ebay out to rip people off I dont want to be one of them..

oh well,,,, nothing lost eh....but if anyone wants this receiver and is willing to arrange collection then theyre welcome to it.....possible someone with an old cable receiver....

Cheers for you input Paul/Buzby,,,I didnt think it was possible as I have connected it to my dish and got nowt....I was just trying my luck in having obtained a telewest HD receiver for nowt and getting free HD quality channels....Realistically...I suppose I knew it wouldnt work ...well as we are with todays technology..but you never know whats around the corner with new hardware/software/cracks etc,,someone somewhere, oneday may crack it into a general receiver...

I am disappointed in the attitude of one 'andyorch' why did you feel you had to take that tone with PT.....as he stated he was just adding his input and a little extra......you need to chill out a bit..

I'll prob put the receiver on ebay adv as a HDTV receiver...some unsuspecting punter will buy it with researching it properly...lol

Does anyone know if a Telewest HDTV cable receiver can be 'rigged' to receive sky tv? [through a mini dish]

A friend of mine took a 19" lcd tv back to the local Miller Brothers complaining about a dead pixel.

tv was one week old.

Turd in the shop argued it, but eventually took it into the back shortly returning showing a 1" scratch clearly visible in the centre of the screen.

Arguing for about an hour they told her to shut up and leave the store..

she did......OMG!!!!!

O2 destroyed my mobile phone that was returned in error instead of returning it to me. [should have gone to 3G]

their excuse, security measures..Ha.

I took em to court and won..

How come you are in arrears? is it due to hardship - [have you explained this to the F.C]

Is it because you feel they cant prove the agreement?

a) who was the finance with?

b) who are the Bailiffs?

c) have you got written proof that you are in dispute with the finance company?

d) did you send your requests for the information by recorded delivery?

by the way that was meant as a joke....

if you have used a computer elsewhere.e.g work and have saved your information for logging in, then anyone could use your account.

I haven't gone anywhere - I would like the IP address of whoever posted earlier as me, so MODS I am requesting the IP address/addresses of whoever posted as me earlier.

Send in an SAR

how many different tangents has this thread now got?

should be renamed Tez's Daily Blog......LOL

I have asked this question so many times [directly to the OFT]

and dyu know what the answer is?

....Cos I dont, even now after numerous emails etc asking why banks are still allowed to apply these charges, all I get back is a link to the first press release..

bloomin useless.

a) On what grounds are they closing your account, have you been given at least one months notice.

b) Who are Barclays Risk?

c) Play your face up about the charges, tell them you want them refunded or you WILL pursue the matter through the courts regardless of the OFT hearing.

You may be faced with the scenario that when you enter the bank you will be told you have to make an appointment to see a personal banker..Do not stand for this, tell them you are not prepared to wait and you want to see one immediately.

Make sure you get the advisers name also.

Do NOT agree to anything that you are unsure about or do not really want.

You could always go for getting their case thrown out for non compliance to court orders. i.e not submitting their court bundle.

You could claim the Defendant is guilty of abusing the system with so many cases on record where they have settled days, even minutes before the hearing.

Do your research so you're not faced with just looking at the judge saying "erm yeh spoze so."

More than likely you will see a spotty young representative for Barclays who will simply request a STAY. [who will prob be more nervous than you]

It will then depend on the judge whether he allows it.

Read up on posts to do with Removal of stays etc just so you know what to argue if the judge asks if you have any objections to the stay

Iggy, theres a 'typo' in your last post [2008],, be careful with things like this especially when dealing with the courts and legal proceedings, they dont need much to have things thrown out on technicalities these days.

olden try here for selling

or for giving stuff away

Danny,

Can you calm down a little, this is meant to be a forum where people discuss topics - not get into slanging matches with each other and to be honest this thread seems to be getting out of hand...

Yes you have a right to post [within reason] but please keep within the limits that are expected, mutual respect...

You cant expect EVERYONE to share your views and they also have their right to view their opinions, but please refrain from your personal comments.

Also, if a member does not wish to contact you outside this forum, this is their choice and does not reflect on their ability to argue or any other aspect of their personal abilities.

Please take a deep breath and relax before posting....thank you.

When I originally posted this thread in May [i think] no way did I think it would create so much interest.

But 23,622 viewers and 960 replies I am stunned.

Thanks to EVERYONE who contributed to this figure, and I hope it has proved useful...It does seem a little dormant at the moment but who knows, after Jan 14th things might get moving again...

Thanks you guys, its you that make this site what it is.. Keep it up.

If you play your face up enough they will change it....prob change it to a peach one tho....lol

dont let them get away with it,,,, why should you have to put up with second best,

you should start a new thread...."Saintly on the loo"

Igbo,

Cant believe you are STILL going...LOL

these things reeeally seem to be dragging out now dont they...

Right

Unless your court DIRECTLY informs you NOT to attend the hearing then you MUST.....If you do not they may kick it out..

If you hear from the bank advising you that there is no need to attend IGNORE it....DO NOT take directions from the bank.

As advised, contact the court, ...make a note of the time, date and who you speak to,,,,if they inform you that you do NOT need to attend... tell them you want it put in writing and sent to you.
