Hi Smutley I am also out of hibernation ..... just last night in fact. Got all my documents out right away. So pleased I filed them all in a folder in the order they were presented at Court in 2007. Everything was at hand so reading through was a pleasure. I think Slick is right, we should wait and see what the Advisors come up with after they have researched everything. Lets face it, if we all fight the same fight, we should come out on top hopefully.......... any way, watching with bated breath, good luck to all claimants for the 2nd round of battle.

Thanks for that quick response, so just to clarify, shd I be sending the 1st letter on the link you sent me straight to the Court where my claim is stayed and then take it from there...........?? previously to asking this question I had gone into the templates and found the amendment letter which is what confused me, so wasn't sure which route I shd take 1st. The letter to the defendants requesting to amend my statement of evidence .......... or your first link.. letter to the court thanks

Hi all, my claim was stayed in 2007. I read with interest today the news and believe we should be amending our claims immediately. However, is it my statement of evidence I should be amending? It is only in this 1st paragraph that 'penalties' is mentioned. I would presume maybe that all template letters have been changed a few times since 2007, so can anyone advise if I am on the right track as I would like to get started right away many thanks Sorry guys, somehow I can't find the link to my previous thread started 2006/2007 so it seems I have started a new one ..........

hi you two thanks for the info Slick and Johnny. will keep logging on to see if anything new happening.......... still, could be waiting a long time Nice to hear from you two again. Got to keep pounding away I suppose until breakthrough best wishes to you both

Hellooooo again anyone out there - feel like its a ghost town here at the moment. has anyone heard outcome of court case taking place 7th and 8th July, been searching Net but can't find anything at all. Logged on here every night but seems no news available so thought I'd post hope all ok and working hard best wishes

Hi all Computer been down for number of weeks now, just back on line this weekend. Anyone heard anything re' OFT test case in the news. Been searching BBC website but can't find any latest news. If anyone can let me know, much appreciated. Radio and TV been deadly quiet lately, nothing much being said. best wishes all

Hi Johnnymitch missed your posting way back in Jan as had loads computer trouble. Lost all my SOC's had been collecting. Luckily had them all printed in my bundle. Re-did them on computer but lost them again in Feb! Flaming computers, nowt but trouble if you ask me!!! Thought I'd log on as myself tonight and see what's happening. Been looking in on site now and again but apart from the whole country trying to reclaim and getting nowhere at mom, nothing much seems to be happening. going to look at your link now but probs out of date (my fault) If you hear of anything new please keep me posted. Never know where to look to read updates and nothing to hear in news, papers etc. Hope a decision made soon. Good to hear from you, looks like you survived winter along with the rest of us, roll on Spring best wishes for now

Hi there Anyone any news on OFT test case, can't find a link to it, nothing on news lately and just wondering what's happening Best wishes to all of you

ok guys, thanks your input yet again, son is going to try and find out more from his mate. I think you could be right on that one slick, maybe branches only refunding one off recent charges. will keep you all posted if and when I get more info. glad to see you all still got your sense of humour, well, they can't take that away, can they? but they could try charging for it!!!!

Hi all, my son emailed me this msg tonight and thought I'd share it with you all Heard the other day that bank cashiers are now allowed to give people their >bank charges back in the branches, didn't know if you'd had any luck with >yours! One of the girls at work has a friend who works for Barclays and she >says it's made her life easier now because she can just credit the charges. > what do you all think of that?? Let me know your thoughts please

Heeeey Johnnymitch Long time no talk eh? Logged in from time to time to see whats happening. Thought I'd share this bit of news. My son posted me this msg tonight and I thought I'd share it with you and everyone else! Heard the other day that bank cashiers are now allowed to give people their >bank charges back in the branches, didn't know if you'd had any luck with >yours! One of the girls at work has a friend who works for Barclays and she >says it's made her life easier now because she can just credit the charges. > Let me know your thoughts on this, has anyone else heard this yet??? Does this just mean recent charges that are taken since OFT case has been declared or what?? would be interesting to know How you doing Johnnymitch??? I've put the case to the back of my mind for now but keep looking around for news, nothing new happening it seems. Take care and wil speak soon

Hi Lucy60 Isn't it so annoying that DJ has decided on stays before cases even heard. Just shows that judges think this is all a waste of time what banks are doing. I am so annoyed as this seems to be playing right into the banks hands. Gives them time enough to look for more ways to charge us - like every direct debit we make!!!!! ha. Thought I'd read somewhere that if dates were set for court cases before 25th July then the case should go ahead. I have known since end June that my court case was today. so I think by rights it should ahve gone ahead. All my bundle was ready and sent before deadline both to Barclays and the court, I have not even rec'd Barclays. they were not on time with their defence either. So like me, you'll be watching with interest what happens next. this site is great way to catch up on stuff and be informed. Good luck anyway with your case, roll on January! (ugh, never thought I'd ever say that, winter weather etc) bye for now

:lol: well, go on then I'll give it a go - just hang on there, this might take a while! BYEEEEE

Aah! now you're showing off, do you know how long its taken me to add funny faces!!! I have to get up for work in the morning byeeeeeeee

Cheers Johnnymitch, your advice and support along the way has been much valued and it is very reassuring when people like yourself are there to help every time someone like myself is in doubt. Saintly1 and Dar£n have been very supportive also and I would like to thank you all. I will pm you from time to time if thats ok, its nice to stay in touch with someone who has proved to be as helpful as yourself. Will post now and again if anything else happens. Reading through so many stories on this site proves we are all the same, inside and out, all honest hard working people who become a little unstuck now and again and have big people like banks, government etc who come along and pick a little here and there for their liking. But this site has proved invaluable and it amazes me every time I log on, how many others are out there ready to help and encourage others who are unsure and unsteady - best wishes to you all, good luck to all whose cases are going ahead, I will be rooting for you all and it will be lovely to read all the winning cases tht may occur before this BLOODY OFT CASE OUTCOME is decided. There, feel better already. Best wishes Johnnymitch, thanks a lot:) eeh! look what I just did - added funny faces to my message - its taken me long enough to find out I could do that - hee hee!
