I'm sure it was yesterday's, actually.

[Lula]

Dunno love, i saw it online today, and as I dont actually buy a newspaper, it probably matters not

[Sue Loftus]

What does this mean for those of us with hearings looming?

[Sue Loftus]

I haven't complained to the Ombudsman - I went straight to Court!

[Bookworm]

Exactly, so it makes no difference to yours.

[Sue Loftus]

Sorry just want to check I'm not being thick - does this mean I have to turn up at Court and have my application to strike out ignored and the Abbey be granted a stay until after the OFT hearing? Confused!!

[Lula]

Sue, absolutely nothing has officially been said yet, so you carry on with a courts directions until you are told otherwise ,

 

hope this helps

[Lula]

its all hearsay and conjecture anyway, nobody has officially come out and said that this is what is happening

[Sue Loftus]

Ahhhhh right. Thank you Lula. I'll carry on as normal then. I've emailed Inga to see if we can settle this but don't hold out much hope.

if it is true what the mirror article is stating i would be very shocked if the OFT ignored the many of thousands of people who are going through the courts.

[Ladidi]

Hold fire for a sec, If I am reading that article right, it was stating that the banks and OFT had agreed to repay all those who made their complaints via the ombudsman to be repaid in full without the need for going to courts etc and that thsi would happen immediately. If that is the case then I believe it should happen for all those who are in the courts process too. After all we are all wanting and complaining about the same thing. So it is in my personal opinion that the banks should repay everyone who has submitted their complaints to them and not write back with all this justify and we believe we were correct in taking it blah, blah.

 

Time for the banks to the honourable and right thing before they have no customers left I think, and repay everyone they owe. At the end of the day it is our money and not the banks and without the customers there would be no banks or business for them have! As the old saying goes, you dont bite the hands that feed you, and in this case the banks have done more than bite, so it is time for them to repay!

Cant understand what everyone is getting worked up about. The article is talking about an agreement in the past tense and describing what actually happened up until the test case was announced. The procedures are different now and ombudsman has put all cases on hold. Whilst this was published today its old news and irrelevant.
