Whizzkid v Abbey - Round 2

[whizzkid001]

OMFG!!

 

Bad news! I have JUST this minute returned from the court as I'd wanted to see it in b&w for myself.....it is NOT what they told me on the phone at all, someone got their knickers in a twist on the phone & told me totally wrong info. The letter just given to me is as follows:

 

"The matter has been referred to the District Judge who has commented that the matter raised is a matter for the District Judge at the hearing on 2nd June 2006."

 

So, nothing has actually changed, except that the info I gave the judge will be bought up now. I guess that's something, where before 99.9% of claims were almost automatically granted a set aside, I guess at least he'll hear some strong evidence why it should not be granted.

 

Cannot believe the court can be so inept, I am so angry!!!!!!

[monkey_uk]

noooooooooooo!!!!

[bram stoker]

I'm sorry for you Whizzkid. It will end, just not yet. Good luck, we're all rooting for you.

[Guest Lueeze]

[whizzkid001]

Awww group hug for Whizz!

[Spiceskull]

We're still hanging in there with you...it's only a few weeks...

 

To see the steps I took to recover unfair bank charges with the help of Consumer Action Group, please read my thread Spiceskull v HSBC.

GOOD LUCK.

Can the court really be as &*$^ing inept as Shabby?

 

Still, seeing as the charges are unlawful in any case, the best that this greedy Spanish institution can hope for is damage limitation.

 

I am still awaiting my DPA information whilst returning letters to them pointing out that it's not "my opinion" that the charges are illegal, it's a fact and that threats to close my account if I serve notice are also illegal. They have 8 days to comply now.

 

We'll all get our out of court settlements I suspect - they really don't want to open the floodgates.

[andrew1]

Unlawful I think - not illegal? The difference being it is not a criminal offence but an offence at common law.

Good luck Whizkid!

[NeilP]

Sorry to hear the bad news. One thing that i am learning during this process, is not to get your hopes up. (sorry, that sounds really condecending - it's not meant to!) We both have had judgements made, warrants executed, and then for Abbey to flout the law and get them potentially overturned.

 

I suppose it is these tactics that will make alot of people say 'sod it' and give up.

 

Keep your chin up, stiff upper lip and all that. We both know that we will get our money back - it's just a case of when.

 

On the flip side. Just think, every day that Abbey fart arses around, drags their feet and is generally a pain in the you know what, interest is accrueing on the amount we are claiming, in my case a whole £1 a day! Who-hoo! OK, its not like winning the lottery - mind you, as i've only ever won £10, i suppose it's better than that at the moment, but it is something.

 

Bring forth the 2nd June .........

[GSMGuy]

Chin up Whizzkid - nearly there now....

[mikeyitup]

Keep the faith mate!!!

 

rooting for you.

 

Those banky ****ys don't like it up em!

 

Give it to em!!

[Akaysha]

My fingers and toes are crossed for you, i hope it works out.

[rockdj99uk]

I hope all goes well for you m8. I'm watching this with interest as I'm about to start the ball rolling with Abbey. Also I live in "the shot" so would love to be there if the bailiffs did go in.

How embarrasing for a bank would that be?

[whizzkid001]

2 weeks today..........!!!!

 

Incidentally, if anyone wants to turn up if they're near Aldershot, feel free!

[fallen404]

Best of luck, whizzkid. Get it on video for us all.

[Guest Lueeze]

its only an hour and a half away im tempted i must say....

[Unholy Alliance]

They could try an intelligent approach for a change:

"Charge of the Right Brigade..."

Then again, there is no mention of bums, boobs or willies...so probably not!

 

 

Of course, it could be argued that thats exactly what banks are.....(or they could be the component requirements neccessary to create a "wunch")

[caro]

I have only just found your thread and found it compelling reading. This is a bestseller! I was on the edge of my seat thanking God that I would read the outcome, then I saw you had to wait until 2nd June, then you didn't (phew!), only for a terrible twist of fate, you still have to wait. How you have kept going I don't know. Still gives you more time to sort your arguments out.

 

You are very brave, but then you have got right on your side. Are you getting your legal help from BAG, maybe a buddy, or are you doing all the legal bits yourself?

 

Got everything crossed for you, which could be a bit tricky for 2 weeks!

 

How about a coach trip to Aldershot on 2nd June folks? Perhaps MSE Martin Lewis might like to come.

[whizzkid001]

Can hardly believe it....just 4 working days left before my set aside hearing.....the anticipation is killing me! Have been so looking forward to this day!!

[caro]

We're still all rooting for you. Keep the faith!

[Jane Austen]

I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

 

How do you feel now, in light of what happened yesterday?

[joneshousehold]

Good luck tomorrow. You must look formidable if the barrister objected to your presence yesterday! They won't be able to do that tomorrow.

 

Wonder how much all this is costing Abbey? A barrister won't come cheap.
