oft case

 

Mr Crow, on behalf of the OFT, indicated that the investigation has not reached any conclusions at this stage. They expect to reach a provisional view - and communicate that provisional view to the banks - at the end of July. At this stage, Mr Crow could not state what the content of those provisional findings would be, now the extent of those findings. As a result, we do not know if those findings can be provided to the judge in this case, due to the fact that there may be commercially sensitive information within those findings.

 

Mr Crow did suggest, however, that those findings could be redacted, if necessary, and thereby allow them to be provided to the judge. Smith J. was keen to ensure that this information be made as public as possible, for obvious reasons.

 

Although the judge has yet to give directions, it appears that the OFT will be reporting to the judge by way of letter on 24th and 25th July as to the position at that time. The biggest concern for the judge was that the OFT and the banks would reach some form of agreement as to the current terms and conditions and would therefore discontinue the current litigation. This would cause significant problems for the issue of historic terms as they affect thousands of cases currently on hold in the county courts. The judge was keen to stress that in his opinion, this test case was the best vehicle for determining the issues, rather than using test cases from a number of individual consumers. It appeared that both the OFT and the banks agreed with this.

 

In respect of the appeal, the Court of Appeal indicated it could hear the appeal in July, but the OFT indicated that it was not in a position to start the appeal hearings at that time (although the banks were prepared to have the hearing then). As a result, an appeal window of late October to mid-November is the most likely time for the UTCCR appeal to be heard. Since we do not yet have a ruling in respect of historic terms for either UTCCR application or penalty charges at common law, it is not clear whether those issues will be heard at the same time. Having said that, I am of the opinion that the Court of Appeal will probably want to deal with all the issues simultaneously

here is my latest

Dear xxxxxxx

 

 

YOUR COMPLAINT ABOUT ABBEY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Thankyou for your recent letter received in respponse to my emails dated 15/16th april 2008.

 

I have considered the additional information you have supplied but even after taking it into account I still consider it unlikely that more investagation would result in a different outcome.

 

I say this for the following reasons:

 

. My understanding is that you are seeking compensation as you believe that the bank closed your account in retaliation to your claim for a refund of bank charges.

In light of this I have made futher enquires.

 

 

The bank has now responded to us the bank says that your account was closed in june 2007 when it was reffered to its debt recovery dept in respect of an ourstanding overdraft of £329-75. the bank says that the debt had been these circumstances since feb 2007 and you had not made any payments to it in these circumstances I am persuaded that the bank closed your account due an outstanding unpaid debt rathen than in retaliation to your claim for a charges refund as such I am unable to uphold your complaint in this reguard.

 

I futhure understand that you think the bank should refund the charges you dispute as you Meet the criteria for finacial hardship in this regard I should explain that neither the bank nor this service dispute the financial difficulties you are currently experiencing however this does not mean that the bank is oblidged to refund the charges you have disputed ahead of the finall outcome of the current legal proceedings relating to bank charges.

 

Having said this the banking code requires that banks should treat customers in finacial difficulty postively and sympathetically so I have considered whether or not this has happened in your case.

 

 

In this regard the bank has told us that it has looked at your complaint about financial hardship however it does not accept that it is under any obligation to do any more than it has at this stage.

Having considered the position very carefully I am inclined to agree with the banks assessment I say this because the bank has told us that your account has veen suspended and it is currently not pursuing you for the outstanding debt as such the bank appears to be meeting its obligation under the banking code.

 

For the reasons stated above I think its approopiate for your complaint to remain on hold probably untill the legal position has been clarified however if you disagree please contact us by 8 july 2008 to expleain your postion

 

If you have not responded by this date I will assume that you are satified that your complaint about the charges applied to your account will remain on hold until the legal next steps have been sorted out.

You do not need to do anything else right now. We will be intouch with you when we have news to report.

 

END

 

 

Now for my comments to this letter……..

1. letter sent to sandra greene aplogising for the delay due to health and being in hosp with a servere angina attack………………………………………….

2. yes my bank account was closed without me getting any word to tell me they were closing my account. None of the debt recoveries would take on there case due to court proceedings and that the fact was/is these charges were for the same item cheque for £250 pounds my dissability went in the day after, the chatrges for this went on to feb march april may untill they closed my accdount 26 june 07, each month they were repeated charges that’s how they got the total to the amount they are speaking about, I stopped my dissability and moblity going in as they were taking charges out and I had enough of them leaving me with nothing to live on, one week they left me £1 to live on for the 2 weeks I went in crying and told them what has happened and they said sorry but they cannot do anything the lady still works there.

3. they have admitted hardship

4. they did not treat my case with sympathy at all.

5. the is not so the debt recoveries don’t want to handle there case with this they told me they were having nothing to do with it as I have said I spoke to he said that abbey were wrong in repeating the said charges for the same cheque…..

6. here are the dates 9th jan cheque £250 9th jan unpaid cheque £250 11th jan bal carried forward to next statement £124.75 feb-march –april2nd unauth o/d fee £20 2nd april clearence fee £20 april 2nd clearence fee £30 april 2nd clearence fee £30 april 2nd clearence fee £30 april 2nd clearence fee £30 2 april fee £30 unpaid d/d 2nd april £35 2nd april interest charge 38p 2nd april AGAIN £35

Hey,

 

I had a student account with abbey for 2 years. With this account I had an overdraft facility. I went overdrawn on this but repaid this within a numer of days of noticinng I went overdrawn which included paying the charge. I then got charged for being overdrawn again causing me to go over my authorised overdraft so I refused to pay twice for same thing. I have now been threatened with legal action if I do not pay full overdraft plus charges. Anyone got any advice. My account has been past n to abbey debt recover agency

hello scully ty for coming in my thread and reading i did put my case in here lol somewhere but

abbey did the same to me i had an unortherised o/d, but what happended with mine was that i paid a cheque in for £250 and my dissability went in the day after but abbey didn ot accept the cheque so then in which i got the normaly charges now this was in jan 9th and from feb to june 26 when abbey closed my account with informing me, were the same charges for the january statement again for the same charges went on n on for the same

they then refered me to a debt recovery and i phoned them up and told them i was not paying as these are in the same continued charges for the same charges from jan to june and i am in the middle of taking abbey to court so they said oh we are not getting involed and will return everything back to the bank then weeks later abbey tried another diffrent debt rec, again i phoned them up and told them the same guess what they did the same

then i got no 3 debt recovery from edinbourgh yes you have guessed they did the same and i still refuse so now its on suspended, i then phoned abbey customers service where i explained everything to him in which the man said abbey were at fault and that they shounld not have kept the repeated charges on going for the same thing

so i wish you luck keep me updated hugs

Hi Scully, you need to start your own thread under whichever bank you are with. Spend some time reading up on other threads and the FAQ`s which you will find at the top of the page, then follow the tried and tested formula to reclaim these charges. Then write to the collection agency and inform them that the account is in dispute, they will then stop all action and pass it back to the bank. If you have any questions or queries just ask, there are lots of helpful folk around here who will offer you good advice, do not be afraid to ask "stupid questions" , we all have done at some time.

Good luck and keep us all posted, Stone

Hi Abroadgirl,

 

Good to see you :)

 

Well done on your settlement, do you recall if they said this was a Full and Final payment ? If not, start again and go after these charges.
