Jenny v Citi ** WON **

[kennyh]

Same ole same ole. Now passed LBA stage and about to submit N1. Will be on the 'look-out' for their "we didn't receive the court docs" [problem].

I noticed somewhere - maybe from Gizmo that 'Citi cards are different'. Apart from majoring in sheer bloody mindedness is there anything exceptional that well prepared argument wouldn't cover?

In their last letter to us (apart from the usual blurb about OFT saying at £12 all things will be bright and beautiful), they mention

"In over a dozen recent court cases involving Citi, we have successfully argued the fairness of the above policy(lol) (ie £12 and they refund the difference from their original rates) and the fairness of £12 charges. The cases have all resulted in the claims being dismissed and the courts have inplicitly held that the policy is fair (lol) and the charges reasonable (lol), being in line with both the OFT guidance and common law principles (they really should not use words they don't understand) of damage for breach of contract.

Apart from giving any readers a laugh I wondered on ANY validity of the opening sentence.

Some could say that all that matters is the bottom line to this company.

 

Would imagine that Brian would wish he'd never heard of a penalty charge claim by now.

 

Citi have had a small number of sucesses, repaid alot of the difference between charges, and also lost a number of cases. However they're not going to quote the later two in any literature.

 

Once you get to the AQ stage get in touch with me, got some documents that will prove extremely useful.

A scholar and gentleman sir.

N1 in.

[kennyh]

Letter today - they caved! £274.90 (all fees+c.i.+£30 court fee).

Mod would you like me to send contribution now or wait for 3 other cases I have running; also any thoughts on a 'wasted costs' expedition?

Being a d**k I can't seem to edit the thread heading to show a (albeit small) win- any help gratefully appreciated.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

Well done Kenny.

 

I think you'ld be pushing your luck trying for a wasted costs order though.

 

Citi coughed up only one week after you submitted your N1.
