sajabu2003 v Yorkshire Bank ***WON***

[sajabu2003]

Yeah Richard I've got an exam at college and dreading it I thought Beauty Therapy would be an easy course but trust me it's not.

 

Thanks hoogie. It's seeing other people like yourself winning that keeps me going.

Ahh, another beauty student....the amount of times i was wrestled to the ground by my girlfriend so she could practice applying make up on me. (shudder)

Good luck with it. I don't suppose you'll be qaulified to do shoulder massages after this will you. You see i got a real stiff neck from the amount of time I've been sat in front of the computer doing my research for this claim.........maybe I could add that to the costs incurred in my claim...uhhmmm.

 

Ok. AQ's...here I come.

[sajabu2003]

Copy of Clysdale's .oO( Their spelling not mine ) AQ received this morning. They ticked Yes on section A! Erm they've had 6 months to settle this and they have the cheek to ask for a further month?. Section D - Witnesses... 2 (In total) I'm assuming that Bill & Ben are getting some great wages at the moment. Section F - Hearing... No (none that the bank are aware of at the moment). Signed by Kirstie Ann Ross and dated 5/2/07 even though it should read 5/3/07. Oh and there's a typo on the court name haha Time to sit and wait yet again.

Hi sarah,

I notice you are at the same stage as me, I have just checked through their AQ again, I noticed it wasn't signed or dated and the covering letter telling me that they had ' today' filed their AQ in court was dated 5th March.. the Aq had to be filed by 4th March.. I'm hoping they have cocked up in my favour but as usual they will probably get away with it ( as 4th was a Sunday)

best of luck;)

[sajabu2003]

Hearing date through today... 7th June 2007.

 

Sarah.

[richard625]

Nice one. Well done mate.

 

Did is say anything about a stay or anything?

[sajabu2003]

Nothing about a stay. Nice to finally feel that something is happening once again. Proof that it is worth the wait Fingers crossed that you'll hear more soon.

 

Sarah.

[sajabu2003]

2 months left until my court date so I think I'll start asking where the rest of my statements are so that I can claim back further than 6 years

 

Sarah.

[caro]

Good idea.

[digger80]

i dint realise it took this long to claim back charges!! what happened to the turnaround of 6-8 weeks:confused:

[sajabu2003]

Clydesdale/Yokshire Bank are 1 of the hardest banks to claim against. I don't think I've read 1 thread on here where somebody has managed to get their charges back within 6 - 8 weeks. I wish they would pay up that quick as it would have saved people so much time and effort

[digger80]

trust us to bank with them.

 

it says in my local paper that a claim takes on average 6-8 weeks for the money to come through, that is with a solicters tho. my sil has gone through them.

[caro]

It depends very much on the bank, and solicitors would not get money any quicker off YB in my opinion. It can take well under a month against smile. Why let a solicitor, who probably has less need of it than most of us, have a share of our money if you can get it all for yourself. A solicitor isn't likely to do anything different to CAG users in my opinion, and the chances are that a lot of people on CAG have more experience claiming back charges than solicitors.

 

Have you noticed they didn't suggest doing it until the public started claiming and they saw the chance of a quick buck. There may be occasions when their professional advice is needed, but most claims against banks can be made independently in my opinion.

[digger80]

i said that to her too, but shes just lazy imo. I havent gone woth the sols as i can do it myself and id rather have all my money owed belonging to me.

[sajabu2003]

Has anyone got the current telephone number for the lovely Kirstie Ross? In their AQ they stated that they required a month to try and settle and that month is well and truly up now. I think it might be worth giving her a call and asking why I've not heard anything regarding a settlement yet.

 

Sarah.

[zootscoot]

Better to write, then you have evidence that you have tried to contact whereas they haven't.

[sajabu2003]

Good point zoot I'm just getting so impatient now and wish they would sort their act out.

[sajabu2003]

Just a quick update... Well nothing to report really as I've heard nothing from anyone at YB I've spent loads of time reading up on the court bundle and think I've got to grips with it all at last. Got a family funeral to attend in Devon over the next few days so will start preparing court bundle to print off next week. I'll be sending the lovely Kirstie Ross a copy and maybe she'll realise that I have no intention of backing down over this!. Court date is just over 6 weeks away and YB have never made any effort to settle this claim in the 7 months that it's been going on. I'm glad that I have the support of so many great people on this site. If I didn't have that support I think I would have given up by now. Just a quick message for anyone that is starting on this journey...

 

DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!!!!

 

Sarah.

[caro]

Thanks for the update Sarah, and thank you also for supporting so many others on the YB forum. People like you make CAG the wonderful forum it is today.

 

Sorry to hear your bad news too.

[moss]

Sarah, I think you and i have fallen down the back of Kirsty Ross's filing cabinet, I sent them my court bundle 2 months ago and i haven't had there's. Indeed i haven't heard from them for a small e-on, Perhaps they think if they put their heads in the sand and ignore us we'll go away:rolleyes:

 

Moss

[sajabu2003]

lol Moss but we both know that there's more chance of hell freezing over than us going away

 

Sarah.

[caro]

Moss you are a complete newby. You didn't even join CAG until November, and you expect YB to pay up within 6 months. Took me 10 months so why should you get special treatment!

[moss]

Hi Caro, I think you and the other pioneers got the special treatment i was hoping for more ordinary treatment, but however long YB drag it out it won't change the outcome. hope it's not another 4 months though

 

Moss

[yo-jimmy]

Hi there,

don't get too dis-spirited now. YB settled my claim 2 days before they were ordered to disclose documents to me. I started my claim in November , so it's been 5 months from beginning to end. I know I have been lucky, but I think the judge helped with the order.

Hopefully won't be too long for you, stay 8) x

[moss]

I'm cool No really it takes as long as it takes and the more obstacles they put in my way the taller i become. Actually i think i might miss it when it's over.

 

Sorry for the hijack Sarah
