Hi, I am in the process of reclaiming my charges from Abbey. I have done the whole process so far as follows: Letter to bank asking for refund Letter to bank saying I will go to court if necc Had a written offer from bank Rejected offer Filed small claims court claim Had defence filed by Abbey The latest I have had is a letter from the court called a "General Form of Judgement or Order" that states the following:, "Before District Judge ?????????? sitting at ??????????? County Court" "Upon reading the documents filed and upon it appearing that there are many similar cases proceeding in the court which do not come to trial, and upon recognising that the courts resources are finate, and of the courts own motion IT IS ORDERED THAT 1. The Claim is allocated to the small claims track. 2. The claimant shall by 12th November 2007 file and serve on the defendant a schedule setting out each charge of which the claimant claims repayment, together with an explaination of the basis on which the claimants claims that each charge is unlawful or on any other basis on which the claimant claims repayment." I think I get the first bit, but am unsure what to do to comply with no. 2 above? HELP!

I thought the law said you could only claim for the past 6 years?

Hello, I am filling out my small claim court form against Abbey for my charges and I am unsure how much I claim for? I originally wrote to Abbey in January and claimed for the six years prior to the date of my letter. This amounted to just over £3k. Do I claim for this amount, or do I need to re-calculate the amount for six years prior to the court claim date? All of my correspondence with Abbey has been based on £3k figure. Any information would be helpful. Just for info, it took 12 weeks to get a response from Abbey, at which point they offered me just over 10% as a good will gesture. I have obviously refused, but they have paid the money into my account anyway, and won't take it back!

Hi All, Just a quick hello. I have decided that I am no longer going to pay Abbey nearly £1000 a year in charges, and have decided to fight back. Most of the charges are for returned DD's. I will beging to go through the info on the site, but would appreciate any helpful pointers. Thanks
