Had An Idea!

At the moment i am in the process of helping my girlfriend and brother in law with claims against the Abbey. I have also been asked by many of my friends to help the claim back their charges. When i tell them about the site and what you have to do, they seem to get a little put off.

 

I have had an idea that i think might help averybody fighting the Abby in the longrun.

 

If i was to obtain written permission off all of my friends to act on their behalf in relation to their claims, all correspondence would then come through me. Knowing form previous experience about their delaying tactics and underhanded methods of intimidating people, i thought that:

 

1. I could collect copies of all of the responses and create a timetable attached to each one. Hopefully this would show a trend and i would have some very sturdy evidence with which to file a hefty complaint against them.

 

2. They might realise that they cant use the same tactics when all of the claims are going through one point of contact. (How many times could they write to the same person saying that there has been a clerical oversight etc..?)

 

3. If one of the cases made it to court, i could highlight the tactics used on numerous other cases.

 

I feel that its quite a good idea, especialy as i have a lot more spare time on my hands than most of my friends.

 

If anyone thinks that this is a bad idea, or that it will be of no use then please let me know. Or indeed if i would actually be able to act on thier behalf and have all correspondence regards the claims sent to me, because im not even sure at this stage if i would be allowed to do it.

 

I am by no means an expert in any of this, however i feel that having been reading through countless threads on this site, i am clued up enough to use my common sense and help all of my friends.

 

Any comments are more than welcome!

I can see your point but what if you lost? would your friend hold you liable? basically you would be carrying out a legal role without legal training or insurance - the main ethos of this site is to reclaim our rights and to be able to do that ourselves, if they cant be bothered to learn how to do it (and yes it is very daunting at first) they perhaps this isnt the route for them - this is about empowerment - not about getting someone in to do the job for them - sorry if this sounds harsh, but the point was being missed

Totaly understand your point, just seems a shame that the banks get away with it because people haven't got the time or are too intimidated.

I also understand the ethos of the site, however i thought that part of it was to take the banks for as much as possible. I hate bullys.

Sorry Peter, I cant agree with that either, it has nothing to do with revenge, it has everything to do with reclaiming the money that the banks (or other institutions have unlawfully taken from us by abusing their position as a fiduciary

Any other views, even if the same would be appreciated.
