Nine months’ imprisonment for signing false statements of truth

 

Nield & Acromas Insurance Company Limited v Loveday & Loveday [2011] EWHC 2324 (Admin)

 

A defendant has been given an immediate sentence of nine months’ imprisonment for contempt of court in signing statements of truth on documents that he knew to contain untruths. This is the first contested case of contempt over statements in documents used in civil proceedings before the Divisional Court (Queen’s Bench Division). The claimants were able to show, using evidence that included covert surveillance footage and photos from Facebook, that the first defendant had grossly exaggerated his claim for compensation following a traffic injury.

 

This case highlights the importance of ensuring that any statements of case or witness statements are carefully reviewed by the person who is signing the statement of truth and that they are aware of the consequences of knowingly signing a statement of truth that contains falsehoods.

Swift are giving me £278.00 refund of charges, however they have charged me nearly £5,000 in charges. Can this be right.

[shoops]

In Swift land what they do or say is always right and good luck if you don't agree. They refunded me £600 from £31,000 of charges (I only had a mortgage with them for 30 months) Being Swift they didn't bother to break the refund down so I asked them to send one through. It took 3 requests to finally get it. @r5eh0les.

Hear hear They (Swift Advances, not Swift 1st) refunded me approx £900 on £3000 worth of charges earlier this year and this was after nearly two years of trying. We were only with them for 18 months and got shot of them some years back - thank god!!!

Hi People,

 

I do hope and earnestly request that ALL of you who have suffered at the hands of Swift (in whatever incarnation they are/have been), to please send your details of what has happenend to you to the OFT now! It will greatly assist this matter, and ultimately may well assist others including ourselves..

Just decided to go down the PPI route. I am claiming against Alliance & Leicester, HFC and Swift.

 

I took out a loan in around 2003 and ended up paying back 18k MORE than I borrowed, depsite almost losing my flat. I have instructed a PPI recovery company to work for me on a no win no fee basis.

I am confident that I will get SOMETHING back from the first two, but am I wasting my time trying to challenge Swift.

I cannot recall what the breakdown of the charges was, I seem to recall shredding the documents in disgust when I was shot of the parasites, but I know the PPI company will request this from Swift, but has anyone here had any joy with reclaiming ANYTHING from Swift?

Afternoon all,

 

I could not resist this:

'Important notice about this website for members of the public.

The information on this website is for the use of professional mortgage intermediaries, credit brokers and existing Swift customers only.

 

It is not intended for the general public. Members of the general public seeking further information about Swift should speak to their financial adviser.'

 

 

'Swift Advances plc is an appointed representative for insurance mediation activities only of Swift 1st Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Swift Advances plc and Swift 1st Limited are both registered in England under company numbers 1800474 and 5020019 respectively'.

 

 

The above was taken from the bottom (if you will pardon the word) of their website today.

 

My view of this: 'Pride always comes before a fall....'.......Need I say more?

 

Best wishes to all,

 

Dougal
