Abbey failing to pay up

[wotnext]

I have taken Abbey to court. Abbey failed to acknowledge anything from the court. I received my Judgement for Claimant some weeks ago, and still Abbey haven't paid up.

 

What should I do?

[PPMAN159]

Might be worthwile giving the court a quick ring, explain the siuation to them and see if they can shed any more light.

 

It may well just be Abbey dragging their heels.

[Destinyofsouls]

issue a warrant of execution !!!

 

Get the bullies in!!!!

[PPMAN159]

Or you could take Destinys advice!

[Destinyofsouls]

Take their computers, chairs, tables, tills , safes - anything and everything.

Take pictures, videos. Take a picnic.

 

Where are you? Take ME!!!

[PPMAN159]

Take That-maybe their singing will make them pay up!!

I'm more than happy to get the bailiffs in. But do you think it would hurt to call Abbey to ask them to send my money?

[PPMAN159]

A phone call would not hurt but I would prefer to get things in writing just in case you have to take it further.

Did you use MCOL or the n1 approach ?

N1

I have just spoken to Abbey after holding for over half an hour. They seem to be busy in the 'complaints about bank charges department'. I wonder why?

 

I explained that although the court has issued judgement against them, that they have failed to pay up and unless they pay within one month (which ends on Sunday) they will have a CCJ registered against their name for the next 6 years. And that on Monday I would be contacting the court and will be asking them to begin enforcement proceedings against them.

 

She was very understanding. Looked at my details and confirmed that they have received court paperwork but nothing was on the system to confirm that a cheque had been sent. So she clarified my details, confirmed the amount that I have claimed and is going to email the legal department as a matter of urgency to get them to ring me either this afternoon or tomorrow.

 

She showed obvious concern about the Sunday deadline so I expect to hear something within the next 24 hours. Hopefully it will be positive news.

Aaaaaarrrrggghhh This is driving me insane. Abbey never called back and no cheque has been forthcoming. I called them this morning to confirm if I still had any accounts left open with them. I was told one but they money has not been paid in to that either.

 

So effectively as of today Abbey have a CCJ registered against their name for the next 6 years. I assume I'll have to ring up the court tomorrow and instigate enforcement proceedings against them.

 

I can't seem to find any info on this site about what happens in this instance. Is there any? I don't know what happens from here.

[BankFodder]

There is lots about this all over the site.

 

Go to the court and apply for a warrant. It will cost about £30 which you will get back.

Don't bother to warn the bank. They aren't worth it and they don't deserve it.

 

Find out from the court which bailiff they will use. Call the bailiff and try to find out when they will go there. then call the local press who will be only too pleased to go and take pictures.

get your hair cut if you want your own picture taken as well.

Don't bother to warn the bank. They aren't worth it and they don't deserve it.

[Pliny the Penuriosus]

The press will love it

[c_allen]

do it, do it, LOL:D

[Pliny the Penuriosus]

wotnext I'd love to come & take pictures. What part of the universe are you in.

[busterlee]

can anyone tell me who to make 10 pound cheque payable to and were to send its for abbey

[wotnext]

I am just filling out the Request for Warrant of Execution form so I can take it to my local court. I've put Abbey's address as the same address I used on the other forms. However, I've heard of people sending bailiffs in to their local branches.

 

There is a part at the bottom of the form which allows you to enter information for the bailiff. Should I instruct them to enter my local branch instead?

 

I did speak to Abbey the other day and was told that the money would be credited to my account by the close of business that day. It didn't happen. Apparently the legal team were meant to call and they haven't bothered either. So I figure that they don't deserve a thing from me. The CCJ is now already registered against them for the next 6 years and it just means that it may take me longer to get my money, but the way in which I do will give me much more pleasure. I also told them I would be informing the press and will ask them to be in attendance.

SW London. If I can get the press down there I'll be sure to post a few pics if it all goes ok.

[Pliny the Penuriosus]

Have it served on your local branch. Particularly if it's the one you used for you banking

 

I visit Wimbledon/Croydon/Surrey a lot so keep me informed

[wotnext]

Yes I will!

 

Sorry for sounding a bit 'fik' but should I enter the local branch details at the bottom of the form and ask the bailiff to visit that address instead?
