Ive read many threads but am still unclear as to the next step. my claim was stayed probably a year ago. Is it still a waiting game until the banks appeal or the Fsa decide how much the charges actually cost the banks. will the courts now lift the stays.

Hi All, fantastic news about the case. What does it really mean to us all. I've read many threads over the weekend but I can't seem to understand it. Does it mean that the banks will now have to pay up. I have received 65% of my abbey claim under hardship rules . But was told I would be able to claim the rest back if the banks lost. Think they have lost so what is the next step. Regards Teresa

Yes my account is still in tact. I have banked with them for over 20 years and I still have £450 overdraft facility. I also have my mortgage with them although it has never been in arrears. Buby x

Just another thought. At the abbey I spoke to a mr ronan coyle on 02077564398. He was very very nice. His fax no is 02076381112. I faxed my claim and then called 5 days later to see if they had received it. Perhaps give him a call and speak to him. Not sure he will do anything if your claim has not been stayed but you have nothing to lose in trying. Buby x

JUBAXT Is one of your claims with abbey. If so they are the easiest of people to get your money back. My claim went through the court and like everyone else it got stayed. I then, after about 9 months went for a claim under financial hardship and got paid 65% after just three weeks Buby x

Hi sea sidelady. I think you've altered the title of the wrong thread. JCL started this thread but I don't think he has been successful.....YET !!!!! But thanks anyway Buby x

Hi I've just had my hardship claim agreed after just 3 weeks. The money cleared my account today. I was in contact with Ronan coyle. I spoke to him twice. First, I faxed my info to him and then three days after I phoned to confirm he'd received it. He said no and gave me a different fax number. Again, I phoned four days later and was told they had received it and it was being looked at. I'm not at work today but when I am iI'll post the telephone numbers and fax numbers that I used. Ronan Coyle seemed a really nice guy, despite working for Abbey. I was nice to him and thanked him for answering the phone knowing how busy he was. Will post numbers tomorrow. Buby x

Have you started making a claim already for your business charges

Oh well. Thank you so much for looking at it for me Buby x

Thank goodness I've done it So what do you think I don't think its right that there are no signs in the carpark about parking correctly or you'll recive a fine. And there was only about six spaces being used at that time. Buby x
