abroadgirl v Abbey

[Catchleen]

Hi abroadgirl, I've had dealings with dmrs too for an abbey account that went overdrawn because of charges. I sent a CCA request to dmrs and the 12 days and 1 month was up last Friday (15th) and I received nothing from them, even though they took the £1 payment off my balance. They kept sending me letters as well. I don't think they are part of shabbey but they stopped phoning me when I had done that. It is just typical of shabbey. Good luck x

Hi

 

I had the same thing. I phoned up Abbey Telebanking and advised them my account was in dispute due to a court claim going through and to let Debt Management know. She said she would, she had to either email or memo them and I have heard nothing from debt management since.

 

Good luck

 

Jane

[simmo66]

from what ive read on here you claim for the ink (hope you kept reciepts) paper and postage and you charge abbey £9.25 per hour and I read on one thread that you normally charge for 20 to 25 hours but its up to you

25 hrs at £9.25 = £231.25 good luck

Good luck with your costs claim.....I had to go to court today against Abbey over costs....the judge would not allow me to claim costs....he said costs are not allowed in small claims despite what journalists are telling people?!! It's a bit of a lottery.....so I really wish you all the best.

[abroadgirl]

hi still no word from anyone reguarding a court date no responce from shabbey which includes inga.

so i tthink now i shall wait untill i do hear something i think i shall do a cost and then i will have it ready incase i need to have it its best having it at hand hope everyone gets on alright with theres against shabbey

good luck weveryone

to b honest i am scared and thinking if it does go to court shall i get a barriester still will sort out if it comes to it take care

[abroadgirl]

hello, i have got a letter from the court but dont quite understand it please can anyone help and does it mean a cout date 17th aug sorry to seem thick here is what the letter says

 

all parties having agreed

DISTRIT JUDGE LAW orders that this claim is stayed untill the 4th august to enable the parties to attempt settlement.

 

on or before the 17th aug 2007 one of the following steps must be taken

the cliamant must notify the court that the whole claim has been settled see note 1 below

or

the climant or defendant must write to the court requesting an extension of the stay period expplaning the steps being taken towards settlement and identfying any mediator expert or other person helping with the process the letter should confirm the agreement of all other parties

 

note 1

where settlement of the claim is achieved before the end of the period of stay the following will be taken to include an application for the stay to be lifted

 

what does the word stay mean?

is this letter saying abbey has to pay up or is this the normal then i will get a court date?

ty for any help/advice given

thankyou

[jules1973]

Basically the judge knows that the bank will cave in and settle so he is give you and abbey till the 17th to settle .

 

So I think that on or before the 17th you have to let the judge know that they have settled your claim in full.

[abroadgirl]

ty very much hun does this mean the judge has read all my documentation?

and is he on my side laughs it sounds strange i know but i put a bingle in 4 n half packs of 500 sheets of a4 white plain paper tyvm

yes they have the lot

Hi

 

Basically a stay means an extension period given before further proceedings. It would appear that Abbey have requested the stay in order to negotiate a settlement; and if unsuccessful, they can extend the stay further.

 

It does not mean that they have to pay up, just that they are playing for time in order to get you to agree to a settlement before they get hauled up in front of a Judge!

 

As a footnote, you should keep all your posts in one thread, that way people looking at your latest questions/updates can see the history of the claim, which helps them to give you the correct answers and/or guidance.

 

Regards

this is another delaying tactic by Abbey, BUT the judge has forced their hand by saying that if they do request an extension they must show the steps that they have taken to reach settlement, this means that they cannot ignore this and if they dont settle, i would ask the judge to strike out their defence as an abuse of process as they had never any intention of negotiating.

 

This is a new one on me but shows that the judges are onto the delaying tactics.
