I am putting together the court bundle but don't have a copy of the banks terms and conditions. Does anyone know where I can get them?

 

A reply would be really much appreciated as when I have asked questions in the past no one seems to answer. I am getting totally scared now.

 

I'm getting married on Saturday and am stressed to death with that as well as this!

My other half is due in court in 10 days time. I sumbitted his court bundle and sent a copy to Abbey. I rang the court and Abbey have not submitted anything. Is this usual?

 

Also if they ring to offer do we accept only the bank chargaes or the charges plus contractual interest AND the daily rate of interest that would be set by the court and court fees?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

hi - i am due in court on 10th august - against abbey - i rang and abbey havent submitted anything.. this, i hear, is quite the norm.

if they ring with an offer.. which in light of the current situation with the test case, is possibly unlikely.. just be prepared! if you need the money now and cant wait.. then i would take it.. but its all down to personal circumstances.

In court tomorrow at 10am. Getting quite scared now. What if they show up? The luck I have that will probably happen.

 

Do I have to say anything in court? If they turn up do I just go through my defence and court bundle with the judge and argue my point with them?

oh blimey - i feel for you.. completely.. im in court the day after.. and its all getting a bit close and a bit real.. the realisation that the postie is going to bring anything promising is becoming ever slim.

i have just had a read through this.. which may help

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/guidance-notes/64911-got-court-date-guide.html

 

i doubt very much the bank will turn up.. but i think someone more qualified should tell you what to do, should they turn up!! i will probably just start flapping and stuttering.. so thats probably not much use to you!

 

please please let us know how you get on.. and if there are any developments in the mean time.. have you rung the court to see if everything is going ahead as per?

 

fingers crossed for you!

Oh My God, just rang my local court (Newcastle upon Tyne) and gave them the claim number, the guy said that Abbey have applied for a stay pending the OFT Test Case result. The Judge has informed Abbey that they must apply on an individual basis rather than use a blanket stay for all claims. They must attend court tomorrow to apply for the stay.

 

He said the hearing is still on for tomorrow.

 

I asked if any of the banks had shown up in the past and he said that in the past they always settled before they got to court but now they don't in light of the OFT Test case. He said no banks have as yet shown up. (They will tomorrow I can guarantee that!)

 

I'm really panicking now.

Well I was right.

 

Abbey sent a barrister to apply for a stay. The deputy district judge said that he had just received dircetions this morning from the high up Judge in Newcastle upon Tyne informing them that all cases must be stayed until a decision has been reached in the OFT High Court case or 1 October 2008 whichever is the sooner. Then claimants have until 28 days from that date to resubmit the claim or it will be struck out.

 

The Barrister seems to think that it will go before the High Court in January.

 

This hearing was for my husbands claim, mine is due on 28 September. The barrister was really nice, turns out I work for the same firm as his girlfriend! He said that I should write to the court asking what action I should now take i.e Do I still have to turn up on 28 Septembet, given what has been said this morning.

Just got back from court this morning for my bank charges claim. Abbey again sent a barrister to apply for a stay.

 

The judge was lovely. She told the barrister that she couldn't find any papers in regards to the application for the stay and he said that he was here now to make the application. She told him that it wasn't good enough and he explained that because of the volume of these cases banks left it till the last minute.

 

She said that in that case she was awarding me costs for my time and gave me the maximum £50!

 

She stayed the case though pending the outcome of the test case as she said it wouldn't be fair to rule now. I thought she was going to at first!

Well Abbey's 21 days were up last Friday to pay me my loss of earnings of £50 and yes you've guessed it nothing has appeared. I have just rang the court and they have told me to apply for a warrant of execution in order to send the bailiffs round! It will cost me £35 but I think it will be worth it!!!!!

 

Has anyone else had to do this and if so what happened?

 

Cheers

oh yes, baliffs have been called in before, they pay up - eventually, plus they have to pay the baliffs fees, might be worth emailing Inga and Ronan together informing them that if they dont contact you by tomorrow regarding payment then you will have no option to call the baliffs as the court has advised at which time they will be liable for the further costs.

 

I bet they ignore you though, they like brinksmanship, no matter how much it costs them

HELP!!!!!

 

Do I have to do something before Wednesday next week when the DJ ordered that my case must be stayed until the outcome of the Test Case or 1 October whichever is the sooner?

 

I have just been letting it carry along until the outcome but have just realised that I may have until next week to resubmit everything.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Just to let you know....

 

I have just rang the courts and the guy in the office has said that he has spoken to his line manager and they will have to speak to a judge on Wednesday next week (1 Oct) to see what is happening with the stays and to get some direction and that I have to ring back then!
