Hi Guys

 

Just to update, as you know I was in court yesterday.

 

Went in asked where I had to go and was told to wait in the waiting room, Sitting there for 20 mins and then this man appeared asked who I was and said he'd tell Mr B I was there. Mr B came in and introduced himself ads the representitive for Halifax and then said that it was a good job the DJ was runnin late or they would have gone ahead without me. I'd been told to sit in the wrong waiting room:o .

 

This Mr B asked if I knew that he was requesting a stay and I said yes I'd had a letter off the bank in October telling me, He didnt know that.

He didnt seem to have any real knowledge of the case at all just said he'd been asked to come to request it be set aside and stayed.

 

Bank was saying that I hadnt given them any shedule of charges, when I told Mr B that he asked if I had them and if so could he see them, so I showed him. He did'nt know I was going for compound interest either.

 

Into the Chambers we went and the DJ introduced himself and then asked Mr B to put his side , which he did . Then the DJ asked why they hadn't filed a Defence, to which the reply was, "Well as you know there has been so many cases that this one seems to have slipped through the net, not our fault really just happens to be one of those things"

 

To say the DJ was less than impressed would be an understatement, He cut Mr B short and said that that was not really acceptable.( my hopes soared).

 

I was then asked to put my side and I used the argument that zootscoot had kindly posted also emphasised that they had plenty of time to Defend as I had rang them on several occasions to ask if they had filed as time was running out for them. Said all the stuff about Human Rights and how they have been paying out in the past and that if they truly thought that the charges were fair then how come they have paid out so much if they thought they neednt have had to.

 

Mr B could not really give me an answer to that just fluffed about how the charges were lawful and transparent.

 

Then the DJ started looking in one of his legal books for the CPR's 13.3(2) which he read out.

 

I think that was when I knew the bank had got their stay.

 

The DJ thanked me for my input and then dropped the bombshell.

 

He said that although he thought that the bank had plenty of time to Defend he was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just an oversight, he appologised to me saying that he knew I would be disappointed (you're not kidding mate), but, as this test case would start in January then hopefully the outcome would be more pleasing to me.

He wrote directions (about 5) one of which stated that if I wanted to appeal then I could,(yea, right, why bother), the rest I didnt really listen to as I had just swithched off by then.

 

Although I knew deep down that I wouldnt win, I was still secretly hopeing that perhaps I would.

 

There you have it , sorry this is so long if your still reading this I have decided not to bother appealin, not much point is there.

 

Looks like I will join the queque and sit patiently twiddling my thumbs till the test case is finally decided. Just how long that will take gawd alone knows.

 

Thanks to all who have given me so much support in this though I really do appreciate it.

 

Regards

What a bunch of cr*p !!! Well at least you tried your best old friend. At least you can count the interest whilst you are sat on thumbs! Not to long to wait now, another couple of months and we will all know where we stand.

[**Tilly**]

i am really sorry to hear that overflow:-x

[ja-de]

I'm so sorry that it was the outcome we could do without, I wonder what the DJ'd have said if it was you who'd been unprepared?? But you did your best & no-one can knock you for that.

It looks as though we'll have to wait now for this court case to start & finish & hope that it'll go in our favour & not the banks.

Keep your chin up overflow, & have a lovely Christmas & I hope you get everything you wish for.

[zootscoot]

Well done Overflow!

 

It looks like you made a valient attempt and certainly kept them on their toes and gave them something to think about. At least you can hold your head high knowing that you faced them and take some solace in the thought of how much it has cost them to send someone out for the court appearance. Also don't forget all that interest nicely building up.

 

Sit back and relax for Christmas so that you are refreshed for battle in the New Year.

 

All the best

 

Zoot

Hi Guys.

 

Thank you all for kind words, cheered me up no end. .

 

Thanks Stone and Ja-De for click.

 

Zootscoot, not sure about the interest gathering though, my claim was for set amount, so I think I would need to go after them again for charges levied since July. Although when we win, hopefully everyone will get everything that is due to them back

 

Hope You All Have

A

Fantastic Crimbo

and

A

Prosperous New Year!

Hello my friend!! :)

 

Saw a post from you on another thread. Hope all is well with you and everyone OK!

 

All we can really do is wait for July and ensure all claims are submitted so that no interest or early years charges are lost.

 

I still think things will be OK, although it will take time and the appeals process. However, entirely possible after July that claims are back on.

 

Take care, Kind regards, Kenny xx:)

HI All . Not been around for so long. thought I'd nip in to see if there was any news on the oft case.

Cant seem to find anything.

Anyone throw any light on the subject please. Whats going on now?

[stonedecroze]

Hi O/F, my old friend good to see you are still around and kicking. FSA have extender waiver until January, so we are all still sitting on thumbs waiting and counting the interest mounting daily. :lol:. Hugs Stone.

[overflow]

Hi Stone.

Good to hear from you . Thanks for that info.

 

Im still kicking anyhow, looks like this is going to drag on and on . Stil the interest is piling up for us all so thats some small concellation I suppose.

Our thumbs are going to be all wrinkly by the time we can actually pull them out and dont have to sit on them anymore.

 

Huggy regards x
