Hi Dancegirl

We got exactly the same thing through the post yesterday as you. Claim is in hubby’s name and he said he wont bother trying to get the stay lifted as the Judge was the one who put the stay there in the first place and therefore is unlikely to remove the stay anyway.

If it had been Abbey that had requested the stay, he would of applied to get it set aside, but as the judge has done it off his own motion, then he cannot see that the judge will then lift it. He is now prepared to wait for the test case, and in the meantime, bombard the MP’s MEP’s and OFT & FSA to get them to remove the waiver/stay on everyones claim.

Did your standard letter have the paragraph “if you are unsure wherever you have an open offer or not, please contact us “ blah blah blah.

If Angela Smith is your local MP, you must live reasonably close to me. Both me and hubby have sent her letters. Both have been read by a Lynda Gordon. I only work around the corner from her Constituency Office in Basildon, so maybe I will stand outside with a placard. Shouting at the top of my voice

“Banks charges stink of crap, managers are for the chop,

Voting with us against the banks, will help you to the parliamentary top”.

(I know not very good, but rhyming was never one of my strong points) hee hee

I am interested to know, is anyone going to apply to Judge Dudley to have their stay lifted???????

[LS123]

I am not going to for my Abbey claim - but I have a Barclaycard claim that has just been transferred from Northampton, if that is stayed then I will apply to have it lifted.

[jules1973]

thanks LS123

 

is there any specific reason why you will consider the barclyacard one and not the abbey one? If a few people are going to do it, I may be able to persuade hubby to change his mind.

[LS123]

I just don't want to waste my money - I think it's £35 to have a stay lifted.

Hi Jules, hi all,

 

Yes live in Basildon not far from the five bells roundabout... so frustrated now if i wasnt going away soon i was thinking of doing a suffragette thing and chaining myself to the railings! (not sure which ones!!!)

 

Not had anything back from Angela Smith yet, only the email to say she/her office has received it.

 

My letter this morning from Abbey says that they have asked/applied for the stay, so its all a bit fishy to me that we receive a letter from the court and then one from Abbey two days apart, and all that time inbetween when we only had an idea what was going on because people had phoned... the timings don't add up to me, I am not happy that we did not get anything from the court to say what the judgement was on the 17th its almost as if the whole day didnt happen..

 

Anyway enough of my frustrations...its a nice day i am off for the afternoon so going to sit in my garden and drink red wine!! and try not to be too obsessive and keep sneaking into the forum...

I received the Abbey letter this morning and it did say about the offer. I have had no offer from Abbey in writing but did have an email offer from AS Hurst of about 65% of my claim. I will now have to see if this is still vaild. But am not sure of how to do so. I will phone Abbey see what they say, if the offer still exists then there is a two month period of which to agree to this, so i see how the test case is panning out.

[dancegirl]

Hi Jules, Yes, my letter had the same paragraph about if I have had an offer etc but as I haven't had an offer so I assume i'm just gonna have to sit it out. I did look on MSE website re: applying for the stay to be lifted but it advised that it would be a battle, so as your hubby says, I think that if the judge has asked for the stay that there's not much hope of him agreeing to lift it.

Hi Rose

 

OMG you live literally up the road from us, we live near woodlands school.

 

have you seen the bank charter in the general forum, I agree with most of it apart from point one. I dont think the banks should make 1p profit from our charges (martin lewis is proposing a charge of £5.00), by doing this we are basically saying they can make a profit but not a very large one, totally undermines what we have put in our POC's.

[rosemarymadder]

Hi Jules,

 

We live over the other side of the golf course, just off the Vale.

 

I haven't read the charter yet, sat in the garden and had a bbq, but my view would also be that the bank should not make a profit out people and making the fee too large just helps to keep people in debt.

 

Must admit though I am learning more each day, and to think I only started this myself cos other half heard Martin on the radio, and he doesn't have a clue on how to even turn the computer on....I make him listen patiently while I rattle off what everyone has been saying.

 

Glad that there are people like you out there who read more and have a good handle on what is going on.

[newbody]

was just checking out abbeys terms and conditions but as they havent changed them think i going to have to let the Stay go

 

Was looking at maybe asking for it to be lifted if abbey had changed terms and conditions as they have shut my account so the oft case on new charging regime wouldnt be applicable to me as my account wasnt subject to new terms and conditions but they not changed them so cant do that one

[jules1973]

there is a batch of cases being heard by a judge at thanet CC on tuesday, if they are successful in getting the stay lifted, then we will apply wednesday to have ours done at Southend.

 

Rose,

 

not sure where about's the vale is??? We live near cherrydown vets, I can see the train station and trafford house from my house. hope the BBQ went well.

[rosemarymadder]

Hi Jules, the vale is just along from where the zoo used to be between the five bells pub and the barge pub, on the same side of the road as the school and the old zoo...got apartments at the top of the road which look quite spanish with large balconies, they back onto the golf course. BBQ was lovely thanks, not so good for the old waist line though....

 

Not sure if i will apply for stay to be lifted as i will be away as from 19th so may do it when i come back.

I have today made an application for the stay to be lifted in my claim, not sure how much impact it will have but it seems like a good thing to try.

[dancegirl]

Hi Glenn,

just wondered, what do you have to do to ask for the stay to be lifted?

[gingerninja]

Has anyone who had a stay imposed by Judge Dudley had the stay lifted...........or did you just upset his honour??

[LS123]

Hello

 

I sent the papers off on Monday to have the stay lifted from my Barclaycard claim.

 

I thought that I would try that one first as it's another £35 fee!

 

I will let you all know once I hear from Judge Dudley..

[Glenn UK]

ALl I did was write a nice letter to the court, seems the banks used this approach rahter than make a formal application.

 

 

However, I will ring the coutrs and see what their take on those letters is.

 

if they want me to send them £35.00 then i will along with an n244.

 

Whether it upsets the court is of course of concern, however, the judge is a professional and hopefully he will understand the cklaimants concenrs about the test case.

 

JMHO

hi guys, I'm up with Judge Dudley on 12 September for an allocation and case management conference.... I have yet to receive a defence from LTSB but have had a letter from their lawyers talking about the OFT test case...

 

Does anybody know what I can expect to happen in court?

 

What exactly is the allocation and case management conference?

 

cheers!

[disgruntled2007]

it seems I forgot the golden rule of thoroughly reading the whole thread befor posting! I was in a rush yesterday! Sorry!

 

I guess I shall be receiving a stay order from Judge Dudley until the outcome of the High Court hearing is known...

 

If anyone against LTSB wants to hit me, then feel free!

[kia]

why would we were not like that on here :Dxxkia

[LS123]

Hello

 

I have today received a letter from Southend court as below on my Barclaycard claim (I know this is Abbey thread -I have an Abbey claim that I may try soon)

 

The hearing of the claimants application for stay to be lifted will take place at 12.30 on the 3rd October at Southend County Court..

 

Anyone know what to expect and should I send anything in advance?

 

Many thanks
