When you're in the 'post reply' window you'll see a paperclip icon. Press

that and you should know what to do

[crfx250]

Bugger! A postal strike

[crfx250]

Whacko Patrick! Lets hope McFall is in a suitably bad mood on Tuesday and gets stuck into them.

[crfx250]

Here is a memo from FSA to the Treasury Select Committee. They deal with the waiver from point 40 onwards. The text of it might ring a few bells.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but the FSA are an absolute joke.

 

I think we can forgive you!

[crfx250]

Ho Lynette, I wouldn't mind doing one for you but when iv'e got time later this evening, ok?

[crfx250]

Hi crfx and ja-de I phoned the court to ascertain what would be required for the hearing on 19th, in case I had to submit something within seven days, as we already established they so far have asked for nothing, well he told me nothing was required, obviously the application and my letters of objection and I think I should do a list of expenditure, but he said as I had already submitted everything before. So what do you think???

 

Hi Olden. To be honest I'm not up to speed on your case and I'm not the

best person to ask about claims either. Je-de?

Dear crfx,

Thank you for your email dated 3 October to Mr John McFall MP. Mr McFall has asked me to respond to you on the Treasury Committee's behalf.

The matters you raise have been drawn to the Treasury Committee's attention, although due to time pressure at the meeting on 9th October, such matters were not considered. The Committee may well consider your points when it next takes evidence from the FSA and still intends to conduct an inquiry into "Competition in banking and the future of free banking".

Thank you for your interest in the work of the Committee.

Regards

Jon Young

Hi Mac & Patrick - long time no see!

 

Well I don't want to hassle them too much - remember I e-mailed and wrote to every member of the comittee but when the next hearing is scheduled perhaps a little reminder a few days before would do the trick.

[crfx250]

I'll let you off! I'm away tomorrow for two weeks myself.

 

Actually I thought ''may well be'' sounded quite promising myself. I doubt

they would comit themselves to saying ''we will''.

[crfx250]

HELLO is ja-de on here now, I have just had a phone call from JESSICA MORDEN MP !! I am still in shock:eek: She is championing our cause, she said that she and others are getting together, cross party support !because they think it is unfair! and she is emailing me the details she has from some company Do you want it posted here or not when I get it?

 

This is fantastic news Olden - well done! I have not been around for a couple of weeks so I'm just catching up on stuff but this is by far the most positive thing I've seen.

 

Also your previous post about me not being eligible to take judicial review action with the OFT was a good point but I already had someone lined up who was a perfect hardship case that I could have used. Although I since informed council, his advice was that the case would almost certainly fail anyway.

[crfx250]

I've had 2 more letters back from members of the Treasury Select Committee in response to my and Macboy's efforts to get the subject of the waiver on the agenda for their hearing with the FSA. Though their reponses came 2 months too late they may include it at the next hearing which is yet to be scheduled.

 

 

Dear crfx

 

FSA Complaints Handling Waiver

 

Thank you for your letter of the 4 September and I apologise for not being

able to respond sooner.

 

As you probably know, the Treasury Select Committee has been rather fully engaged in recent weeks but I do understand very much the important view that you are raising.

 

Thank you also for enclosing various correspondence but as you will know by now I'm sure, I cannot enter into full corresponence with you because of Parliamentary Conventions but I will certainly try to ensure that these matters are put on the Treasury Select Committee's list for consideration and perhaps something along these lines can be included in our future meetings with senior executives of the FSA.

 

Thank you for writing

 

With Kind Regards

 

Colin Breed MP

 

 

 

Dear crfx

 

Thank you very much for your letter dated 4 September which I have only recently received together with the copy letters from the FSA.

 

I have passed a copy of the correspondence to the clerk of the Treasury Select Committee. I am not at present certain when we shall next have the FSA before us but I will certainly look to see if these matters can be raised with them.

 

With kind regards

 

John Thurso MP

[crfx250]

Hi ALL Just to let you know I have emailed Jessica Morden with reference to all that info she sent me concerning in particular the 'cross party support group', thanking her for the support they propose to give us and asking her if she can tell us how many MPs are involved in this. I have tried to emphasize the importance of this regards Val

 

Great stuff Olden. I hear Jessica Morden is rather attractive...her phone number would be great

[crfx250]

Mmm perhaps not

[crfx250]

perhaps she's not photogenic? I 'm sure shes better looking in person

 

 

I'm sure you're right. Someone had told me she was voted the Sun's ''Top Parliamentary Totty''. But for obvious reasons she's by far my favourite MP.

[crfx250]

Had this back on behalf of Graham Brady MP in response to my letters to the Treasury Select Comittee:

 

Dear crfx

Thank you for your letter addressed to Mr Brady which has been passed on to him for his information.

Mrs Sybil J Crowther

Private secretary to Graham Brady

[crfx250]

Nice reply that Je-de. Must be one of the best we've had.

 

And it seems the Brirish Bainking Association are well aware of Vincent Cable's views on the industry!

 

BBA - British Bankers' Association - Cable's alarmist sums don't add up

[crfx250]

Sandra Gidley replied to my letter and was very understanding. She wrote to the FSA who wrote back with the date of test case , their reasons for bringing the case to court and a statement saying that it is unfortunate that many will suffer hardship but it is for the good of the majority that the case goes ahead.

 

boston

 

I'd be very interested to know the wording of the FSA's reference to hardship. Is it possible you could post it up?

 

Thanks
