d1 v abbey ***WON***

[d1cky]

ok, less than a wk till i got allocation hearing, do i need to take anything to this, and wot should i be expecting?

[d1cky]

not counting my chickens yet, but looks like abbey are gna pay up. got a letter today, they say they will be sending a check, they say they are informing the court that they are settling the matter in full and asking the court to withdraw the claim from the hearing list. also asking that once i recieve payment could i inform the court that i with draw my claim, and provide them with a copy of the letter. the only thing is that court is on wednesday and the earliest possible time the check could clear if i got it soon enough is wednesday, wot action should i take?

Hi there and glad to hear you are getting somewhere now, what i would do is still go to court but explain that you havent had your settlement yet that they offered and ask if the case coud be put forward so as to allow this to be paid before dropping the case.

[d1cky]

sorry big mac, do u mean ask 4 the case to be put bk to allow time, rather than forward?

[bp]

Yes i think you are right d1. You could ask for a stay of 14days pending payment. Personally, I'd only give abbey 7 days as it shouldn't take them that long to send the payment. I would also contact abbey and inform them that you intend to turn up in court as you still have not received payment. Do you still have an acc with Abbey? if so, double check that they haven't either presented the cheque or transferred the funds into that acc. When abbey finally settled with me, it was agreed that it would be by cheque, i assumed that they'd send it to me but as it turned out, they paid the cheque into my acc so they could make themselves more £ at my expense. And by the way, if the cheque is in your acc, you don't have to wait the full 5-7 days before it clears, i got mine within 2 days. lets face it, its not as if it will bounce is it?

[d1cky]

i do still have an account with abbey, but i closed the one that i am claiming on, do u think its possible that they could pay it into one im not claiming on?

[bp]

personally, yes! i think they could. Not sure if there are any rules meant to prevent this but even there were, it wouldn't be the first time the banks have ignored the law would it? Did you contact them? what did they say?

[d1cky]

ok, so i have checked this other acc i have and it is not in thier, so i turn up for allocation 2mora and present the letter abbey sent me sayin that they are payin up and see wot he sais?

[d1cky]

b.u.m.p

[d1cky]

[d1cky]

ok thanx, wot do u mean ur old account?, the account im claiming on is closed!

[petcat]

well thats what i thought but apparently its open for paying in due to the overdraft.They tell me i must take ID into the local branch to withdraw the extra as i sent my cards back when i tried to close the acct in December!!

[Bigmac versus]

I would give them a call if they havent contacted you yet and very politely ask when you are paying up?

Let me know how you get on.

[d1cky]
