Capitol plus re: bank charges claim

[Critical_mass]

Hi all,

 

Am i right in thinking we're (us all) are still waiting to hear the outcome of the banks appeal to the test case?

 

I ask because after not hearing anything for a while since hearing the banks are appealing to the outcome of the test case ie the decision the charges are unfair. I had a phone call yesterday from a company called Capitol Plus

Edit, they said that the banks are legally obliged to pay you your charges, i would not hear anything from the banks from now on and if i paid a £69 fee they'd send me some documents to fill out and in 12-16 weeks i'd have my money. They also said they were regulated by the Ministry of Justice and they gave me their Registration number (CRM no.)

 

Has anyone else had a company ring them saying the same, are they to be trusted, cant i continue to claim on my own and that no money is YET to be received from the banks as we're still awaiting the outcome?

 

Cheers

Hi, Gareth.

 

Why pay someone when you can do it all yourself for free.

 

Yes, people are still waiting on the outcome of the court case, but you are advised to take your claim all the way to court, so when they come to paying out, you'll be in the queue.

 

Your 'link' is not working and it's against site rules to post commercial 'links'.

Sorry about the link, i didnt know - accept my apologies.

 

My claim went to court was 'stayed' until the end of the test case. It was decided the charges are unfair, however the banks involved in that test case appealled. I am now awaiting the outcome of the appeal. It's already gone to court.

Hello and Welcome, HAJJ.

 

Don't really understand your question, but this company cannot do anything for you, that you can't do yourself.

 

You should start a new thread in your Banks Forum and people will help you.

They have had there authorisation cancelled so I am not sure if you can get your money back as they are probably not trading anymore.

 

Have you been in contact with the MOJ to see if they can offer any help or assistance.

Capitol Plus authorisation has already been cancelled by the MOJ back in July.

 

If people come forward and report them to Trading Standards if they have been scammed by this company, what action will trading standards take and will it get peoples money returned that they paid?

 

Is this company still trading without a MOJ authorisation?

 

If they have done anything fraudulently, this matter should also be reported to the police for further investigation.

 

If I hear of anybody, I will ask them to phone trading Standards to the number which you have given.

 

Thanks
