Wildman v Yorkshire Bank ***WON***

[paulmwilding]

I rang the court today, and they have not received any documents from Yorkshire (no surprise) although the deadline was last wednesday.

 

I have just faxed to Ms Ross the non compliance letter found on the following thread to see if that kicks them into life and to send me my cheque !

Getting nervous now as not had anything still from YB, and the court date is next Wednesday !!

 

However, read this in the Daily Mirror today...

'VICTORY' IN BANK FEES WAR 05/07/2007

 

A COURT yesterday ordered two banks to come clean over the true cost of levying penalty fees.

Judge Iain Besford told Yorkshire Bank and Alliance and Leicester to disclose how they calculate charges and the cost to service a bounced payment.

Campaigners described it as a turning point in the fight against "unfair" charges of often more than £30 for going beyond an agreed overdraft.

Of 44 claims for refunds, all but eight were settled before the hearing in Hull. The banks are thought to have paid customers more than £50,000.

District Judge Besford said the remaining cases should go before the Small Claims Court.

Martin Lewis, of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: "Today is a watershed moment for bank charges."

And also came across this announcement Yesterday from Bankfodder

Great News obviously ! But how does this article and BankFodders announcement yesterday affect any existing cases ??? Especially as I am due in court next wednesday !!!

Don't panic Paul. Be prepared to go to court, but also be prepared for a cheque for the full amount of your claim. YB are getting later and later settling, but if you look at twoofus' thread, you'll see that they sent a solicitor to settle the claim on the day. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/yorkshire-clydesdale-bank-successes/37571-twoofus-yb-5.html#post907702

 

You must excuse them, they are rather busy at the moment with those upstarts who turned up in Hull and pulled the rug from under them.
