Recieved notice of hearing for "Stay to be lifted" on 3rd March - Any advise?

[caro]

So did you just ask for directions or did you ask for a hearing?

 

Looking at item B, the SC made it clear that there are still questions over the legality of bank charges.

[veester]

I asked for just and i quote "directions as appropriatte".

 

On re-reading i see what you mean by (B)

Well you have until the 15th March to submit your written submissions setting out your position in respect of the actions, given the terms of the judgement of the Supreme Court in the OFT Bank Charges Litigation.

 

By that time we should have the amended particulars of claim (if we don’t then a lot of us will be struggling) so we all should be able to base our submissions on the new POC's.

Valid points there Pete - Appreciatted.

Unless you have something solid by the time of your case, it might be adviseable in your submission to ask for the stay to be extended.

 

You may need to look at your cases from a different angle. Is there anything about your case that stands out from the rest of them making them more unfair for you than for other people? I'm merging your earlier thread with this so the whole story can be seen and we can see if there's anything that can be sorted to allow you to proceed.

 

Are both HSBC and Nationwide to be heard at the same time? Presumably they could be different circumstances so we should be looking at them seperately.

 

I know citizenB merged them, and I can understand why, but on reflection I'm sure she'll see why I'm splitting them again.

 

You aren't being given much time to look at the aruments from HSBC and NW.

 

 

Which court is this?

 

Under section c of the order, I think you're being asked what you're doing to try and settle it, and you should give that some consideration too. Is there any compromise that can be made in the cases?

[caro]

5 HSBC threads merged.

 

I'll have a read through tomorrow.

 

Nationwide thread here for those who'd like to look. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/nationwide/243961-veester-nationwide.html

I have asked HSBC to settle on a few occasions - obviously they have refused.

 

Further HSBC have not changed there charges like some other high street banks, so i can't say pay me the difference plus interest - and us that offer as the carrot in terms of © settling the issue.

 

As posted on here, best to see what comes out of the new POCs and apply for a stay or not as appropriatte.

 

The hearing for my HSBC and NW case are set on the same day/time.

[caro]

I've only read your HSBC thread at the moment, but I think you should probably ask for the stay to be extended until there is more clarity following the Supreme Court judgement.

Thanks Caro - advise noted.

I have just read http://www.consumerforums.com/the-news/news/623-the-bank-charges-decision-where-to-now

And am actually pretty happy to write that my case would fall squarely into Reg 5.

 

When the charges were being applied i was suffering from PTSD - have doctors proof to that effect - provided to the NW and HSBC - they ignored it and then went about the usual activities as described in the article.

 

I intend to continue my claim against the bank and will post my draft to the bank re negotiation and trying to settle out of court shortly.

I have just seen your comment and I have sent you an email.

Please would you contact me urgently to discuss your case.

Thanks

Veester, you may have an opportunity for assistance from CAG, but you need to get in touch sooner rather than later to give the best possible chance of success. If it's left too late there may not be time to help you.

Hi Caro - Bankfodder sent me an PM, and i have responded to him, but recieved nothing back yet.

[veester]

I will post my draft response to HSBC this evening - i have a meeting to attend to now.

 

What else will i need to prepare for the stay lift hearing?

BankFodder's PM box fills up faster than it can be emptied so better to email him @consumeractiongroup.co.uk address. Just put bankfodder in front of it and put a title something like veester PTSD so it's easy to find.
