should I start a claim now or not ???

[neathboy2]

In veiw of the pending test case of the OFT v The Banks, should I still begin a claim against Nationwide to reclaim historical charges from an old account which has been closed for some 2 years or so. In light of the forthcoming court case, whenever that may be, would it be worth my while or would I be starting something that may not be resolved for a long time to come or even stayed indefinately. :rolleyes:

Hi Neathboy,

 

Yes start your claim, if you haven't already sent your SAR off then do it, the banks still have to comply with your request for the information regarding the UNLAWFUL charges they have gratefully releived you of!

 

If you have the info and are ready to go to court and have the fee available (if applicable) then pop down to your local court and put it in, you will either be told they are not accepting any new calims or they are continuing, each court as it's own directives, some are continuing, some are not.

 

If you are in the right area where they are continuing, then well done! if you are'nt, then you just join those (including me) who have to wait, But if you do nothing, you will have even longer to wait, and if people stiil keep going through the motions then that can only send the right signals to the relevant courts and banks that this is not going to go away overnight like the banks wish it will.

 

Keep going, it's a victory waiting for all to enjoy, apart from the greedy banks who will have to pay out even more!!

 

good luck with your claim.

And keep posting

 

stay fresh peeps

Go for it neathboy,

 

just read up on some of the posts in the banking area you need to be in, there are more than enough caggers out there (in here!) who will be able to guide you further into battle..

 

They still have to supply you with ALL your records of charges so when they reply they need more time, remember it's YOUR 40 day time limit NOT from their reply.

 

If you need anymore help from me just hooler and I'll try to help you along the way the best I can. pm me if you think it is easier, but the more you post out the more caggers can assist you!

 

just don't give in to the banks, remember what could you have done with that money back then when you neede it and what can you do with it when it all comes back to you!!!! :D

 

stay fresh peeps

 

regards
