Tom Brennan v NatWest - This is a must-read!!!

[cleanslate]

way to go brennan kick some butt

[Falkirk1298]

I suspect Natwest will throw money at this to make it go away before Friday.

[cleanslate]

yes but breenan stands for us all not only will natwest be looking but all banks i think brennan will win his action like i said on above thread its about time we had the truth from the banks of the real cost of fees. look at it this way one bank how much does it make from us the customers all of our cash in one bank millions in intrest then on top of this we have the charges// fees from me and you. a bank makes millions good luck to the man on justice to us all

[doompixie]

Good luck to you Tom Brennan. I'd sure help out if this guy lost, but hoping for the best

 

 

p.s. Does anyone have a solution to watching/listening to the programmes? All the current links crash both firefox and IE for me.

[calvi36]

hi doom my link above does work mate, i have tested it.

[Glenn UK]

Glenn, i haven;t but that is my understanding from a further re read yesterday and this morning. It would compel the bank to reveal costs if he is successful. I think i may try and listen to it, i am just surprised nobody has tried this route previously. one to watch on Friday the 13th.

My POC for Glenn Vs Abbey is effectively the same in my claim i have called it an account of profits if they decide to argue over it they will have to provide their costs to prove they have not made any profit.

 

incidentally my claim was issued on the 30/03/07 before i heard of this case.

we need to get a pound each to send to cag, this way this Tom Brennan will be able to fight this without FEAR of losing either his career or this case. I so wish admin would post to state the same. If we want to stay as sheep then we shall, however if we want to hunt those that have hunted us for years, then we shall have to do as we are doing and go hunting against the people that cannot justify their charges and are too bloody scared to stand in a court of law and state any defence. I call for one pound from each member of this forum to support this one case. If the case fails then all costs will be paid for a man that put all on the line. TOM BRENNA'S COSTS WILL BE PAID. Lets make this bloody clear to the rip off banks.

This woman took on Kensington for something that alot of us have won without court. She lost. She was ordered to pay the other sides costs.

We are not allowed to donate through CAG for her sever costs.

 

Now again, dont shoot me but I think her claim for assistance is greater than his. As far as I am aware, he is not a memebr of CAG (if he is I appologies) and he has been offered far in excess of his charges.

 

While what he is doing can be admired by some, I can imagine his actions are also doubted by others.

 

I dont seem to recall seeing a moderators comments on such a massive issue.

Hey I may have been young castle but not weak and inexperienced. I had all the young persons and student accounts with all the feebies I still have a Midland bank rucksack!!!

[rob-the-viking]

Rock on Mr Brennan! I just hope he goes in armed to the teeth, otherwise the weasel lawyers that Nat West hire, might manage to squirm their sleezy way to victory. I hope he gives them hell for leather! He's effectively got his career riding on the case. If he wins, I suspect he'll never be short of work as a barrister again, however if the boot is on the other foot, then it could effectively be career suicide! I will watch with baited breath!

[Castlebest]

Give you said it all with Midland Bank, those far away days when bank branches had a manager who had been trained to think and make deals because they knew if you were making money then they would too.

Unlike today when some clone looks what the computer says, looks at a rule book and phones there boss because they can’t make a decision on there own and takes the money anyway.

Or is that just another way of calling you old

wonder if Tom Brennan is an active CAGGER

If it were money he were after he would have accepted the offer already. He is trying to expose the banks and their unfair charges - basically force them to admit they are wrong. He's putting his career on the line to do this which is why people here are so thankful and willing to help

Or that is how it would appear.

 

As has being discussed on a thread in Banks in Print, there are holes in the story. There is no such thing as a Trainee Barrister and a Bankrupt barrister can still practice, contrary to what the chap has said.

Like I said, it may all be true but I cannot just believe what I see in the news and if there is a case for our financial support, it is Jamorgans

[TANZARELLI]

You never know. He's prob more of a lurker. lol

[joneshousehold]

Even if this man is just trying to make a name for himself I think it is good that someone will actually be able to get this decided once and for all by a court. At least then the whole matter will be finally in the open and will finally put this whole charade to an end. I find it utterly appalling that the banks continue to operate the charging system in spite of everything that is happening. There must be millions of people out there who continue to be hit with these charges who have no idea about the unlawfulness and have no hope of ever getting to grips with it. And as for Government inaction, well that's another argument I could get wound up about. Just who are they representing!

[Glenn UK]

At least this barrister fellow will be paying his own costs.At £200 per hour or so.

 

Mind you if he wins he can only claim 9.25 per hour same as any other litigant in person unless he can prove loss of earnings.

[Parkvale]

Glenn, Spot on as normal.

[lateralus]

yes, fraid it's like policemen - when they and bank managers all start looking about 16 - it means you are getting old!

[Glenn UK]

I should have added this , I do think its ironic that LIP can only charge at this rate bearing in mind the amount of effort and work involved.

 

Still its better than nowt as they say.

I agree entirely with joneshousehold. His status and motivation is irelevant, his cause is what matters. Besides I'm pretty sure the BBC would have checked their facts before describing him as a newly qualified barrister and I don't hear anyone, including the bar, disputing it.

 

As for the banks continuing to operate their charging system, they have no choice, as to back down now would make a mockery of everything they have said and done in the past and open the flood gates to handing out refunds like confetti.

 

They're stuck between a rock and a hard place and Brennans action could

begin the stoning they deserve.

[ladybird17]

good Lord! Our local Bobby looks about 12 - along with all the "managers" of the estate agencies. At least I would know they may have been to school for another 4 years if they looked 16. And the assistants in mobile phone shops and big "electrical retailers" I'm sure, come straight from playgroup.

So I must be nearing a gazillion years old!
