Are Natwest playing a game here?

[The cobbett slayer]

NatWest seem to have failed to file defence in some cases and have accepted and settled default judgements. From reading threads they are also still filing defence in some cases and in my case, have been defaulted but haven't paid yet.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what they are doing?

 

I suspect that they will avoid a referral to the Mercantile Court as this will risk attracting a judgement that by far exceeds anything that the OFT can throw at them.

They are. I suspect that resources at cobbets are limited so sometimes stuff doesn't get done.

 

Their economics must be that if the average settlement is £2000, they can afford to pay court fees of £100 twenty times so long as it stops one person from bringing a case. all just scare tactics: doesn't work on us!

Good point but "things not getting done" includes forgetting to file acknowledgement of my £22000 claim and losing by default. The costs involved in them appealing against judgement in my case would be horrendous.

 

Seems that they are not prioritising!

Wow, that's really crazy. There must be something going on. I suspect that in your case the publicity that even an offer for £22,000 would attract is just too bad for them to stomach. Much better to 'accidentally' let you win.

 

Have you actually got the cash yet? Congratulations!
