Well for a start and for an added sense of irony, any bank account set up for this fund must be started with Santander. I think it also important that the trustees make sure it doesn't go overdrawn.

£1 or £10 count me in.

When is your court case?

[citizenB]

I have flagged johnnymitch's suggestion for the CAG admin. Do remember though that it could cost many £ thousands to fight a bank on this issue.

[landy_alert]

landy do you think people will donate?????????????????????

 

Not sure, jdes, but I will and looks like a few are others are keen..............so let's hope so!

[means2anend]

I will...BUT we need to mobilise and move quickly before the ''moment'' passes...also we need proper ''overseeing'' of that account!!!

I can see this going to the EU as a breach of 'Right to Fair Trail'

 

The McLibel 2 where awarded damages against the UK because they had to fight their case without benefit of legal aid. So I don't think the they will be impressed that the banks can use their deep pockets to frustrate justice. Also does anyone know the background of this Sheriff?

Also does anyone know the background of this Sheriff?

 

I think he may have come from Nottingham and gone after some bloke who took from the rich and gave to the poor.

 

Sorry - not helpful but couldn't resist.

Whilst at my local County Court before the District Judge where I was

 

seeking to amend my poc for

 

my claim re the charges against Lloyds TSB.The particulary obnoxious

 

barrister for Lloyds was waxing lyrical (the date was the day the supreme

 

court handed down their almost fatal decision re bank charges claims)

 

and I was challenging him as he was telling (IMHO) porkies, he not realising

 

I had seen and inwardly digested most of the decision handed down by

 

the Supreme Court prior to my hearing and I appeared to have more

 

information available than he did, cutting a long story short he apologised

 

on my insistance, to me re some of his porkies (over exagerations) the DJ

 

seeing my discomfort with him (Lloyds ) said the immortal words,

 

"Everyone is Equal Before the Law" he forget to add that some of us are

 

more "Equal" than others.

 

I also will be willing to make a donation to the cause in an effort to make

 

"Everyone equal before the Law"

LOL maybe,, in a strange twist of fate, in this incarnation the Sheriff is putting matters right by chasing the Robbing Hoods who are taking from the poor to give to the rich... Edited July 16, 2010 by Undercover-Elsa

Thats what I was thinking. This should be based on the man on the 'Clapham omnibus'. A fairly straightforward case.

Im in. Infact, as it would benefit members on other sites, maybe a joint fighting fund. As the Supreme Court left the door open, maybe take it to their door, so they can rectify their perverse judgement.

 

Isn't what we need a 'fighting fund ' to help someone like Alison Watts to take her case to the next level .......... I'm sure there are enough people on here and other sites to raise the necessary(ring-fenced) funding in a bid to get a blanket ruling ....

Maybe it could be done on something similar to a Pound a Pixel basis, with donors naming a favoured Charity, and any surplus funds going to the Charities receiving most nominations?

Excellent idea, we could have a picture of a 'Fat Cat' Banker, and pixel's going for £1.50:D

By the way 'Fat Cat' Bankers are pulic property, they might like to think different.

Maybe the Fat Cat Banker could be naked so people would donate more quickly to cover him up..with a premium on the naughty bits..

 

But now Im being silly....

I've always thought that Fat Cat Bankers were, like Goebbels, deficient in that department.

That's why a premium would be needed...

I have a QC who has worded a press release and represented me in court and will do so further down the line. its simple someone stands up and is shot down or walks tall, end of.

If you succeed GREAT!; if not - bloody good try and what element of law did you go down on and

- when is your case?

crap spelling

[timcoombs]

Thanks for not shooting me down, there are a lot of comments on here but it needs someone to stand up, i will be selling T Shirts and Car Stickers initially to raise what someone has put at £50k and someone else £250k. All surplus money will go to childrens ward at two hospitals. I used Section 5 UTTCR and Section 140 CCA Act. I have to put together a top legal team and fund it because the Nasty Bank have decided quite rightly this is the alternative test case. anyone attempting to lift a stay or issuing a fresh claim is wasting their time because the banks will threaten huge costs and the Nasty Bank have told ne they will throw more money at my case because of the ramifications. I now need to either find a publicist or some media contacts. If I don't contact the national press or television they will soon seek me out so I am up for being the face of the alternative line to the OFT but if do not have the right team or funding I and ultimately everyone else will end up like England when we faced Germany and this will be dead for all of us. My Particulars of Claim therefore is templated everywhere but only the Govan Law Centre has had a go and that is not English Law which is where it must be tested. I await the decision of the Southend Circuit Judge to give me my date in open court, I am happy for anyone to turn up and support me. This case can be won and we can restore the status quo so long as my team is good enough and I have paid them. For my sinns apart from anything else I have stated I am also an Accredited Mediator affiliated to ADR Chambers in London and they can assist me in fining the right team but I must find the right price and be funded somewhere so anyone want to find me a good slogan which will fit on a T Shirt and as many offers to purchase or any other backing on offer thanks and I will try and keep the site informed however it is not my site and I cannot steal the sites thunder especially as they do a good job so posts will be toned down and whilst not trying to ignore anyone responses will be limited.

Hi Tim,

 

Can I just say that it is so good to read someone coming forward and attempting a challenge for what could be the last chance for unauthorised overdraft charges. I am more than happy to contribute financially to your quest as I myself have been trying to raise funds to pay a solicitor to read the full Supreme Court judgement and give me guidance as to how to proceed, if we can, with me and my friends stayed claims. However we only have until the 25th November this year to amend PoC's and hopefully get a reprieve. If there was 'an alternative test case' that we could cite it would certainly bolster our chances of a hearing and hopefully our claims would then be stayed pending the result of this test case. When do you think we will know if this test case is to go to full trial? In addition I think that now is the time to start seeking mass publicity for your camapaign. Has any of the CAG site team spoken to you in an official capacity as yet? We need to get the word out there right now, today. So if there is any help we as CAG users can offer realistically then please let me know. I still can't believe there hasn't been one hearing in any English County court of the new legal arguments, do you know any different at all?

 

The Best of Luck,

TheyrCriminals - did you get chance to read through Scrivener's Opinion on the UTCCR aspects ?

Hi Tim,

 

Sometimes Max Clifford does wave payment, if it's in the public interest, I think the dynamic of one man taking on the mighty banking establishment, might be right up his street.
