Hi, as of 02/10/18 the FOS were still investigating this issue. Its well over 3 years since I lodged my claim so they are obviously not in a hurry. I was initially allocated to an individual adjudicator who changed every 6 months but they now have a team handling the issue, so if you do lodge a complaint make sure you are allocated to the the MortgageMA18 team.

Ah ok I see.Thankyou for the update.I did keep a close intrest and contributed to the action group funding for court case in 2010 until ruled against, and funding ran dry.
I just presumed that it was game over due to nobody having the stones to stand up and take on these huge corporations.
Real credit to all involved this time around and for persisting in what’s so blatantly a Huge cover up!
I shall be as suggested back on the scent also.I shall be lodging my complaint to FOS today.
Can anyone shed any light on any recent court case outcomes or imminent proceedings eg Halifax71?

My understanding is that there have been some settlements done with FP / Elderfiield and the settlements would be subject to a signed non disclosure.
This is why those talking with FP are unable to comment on forums.
Im sure that FP don't want to get to court as a loss to them would result in a queue of claimants and this would cost them millions.
My view is that rather than wait for someone else to win against FP, we should take their own individual actions and speak to a solicitor regarding the validity of the contract they have and if it is a fair contract under UTCR rules.
The true measure of economics is not wealth but happiness

First Plus and Elderbridge are a company that i am very familiar with. I cannot comment on individual cases as you will appreciate but there have been some wins in court such as Murphy & Dye . The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations and also s140 Consumer Credit Act can be helpful but each case does depend on its own meritsI work for Roach Pittis Solicitors. I give my free time available to helping other on the forum and would be happy to try and assist informally where needed. Any posts I make on LegalBeagles are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as legal advice. Any advice I provide is without liability.
If you need to contact me please email me on Pt@roachpittis.co.uk .
I have been involved in leading consumer credit and data protection cases including Harrison v Link Financial Limited (High Court), Grace v Blackhorse (Court of Appeal) and also Kotecha v Phoenix Recoveries (Court of Appeal) along with a number of other reported cases and often blog about all things consumer law orientated.

There have been quite a few settlements up to now & growing in number, the FOS is, by its own admission, only a few weeks off a decision on matters raised, mainly, Interest charges.Originally posted by Marcpotto View PostAh ok I see.Thankyou for the update.I did keep a close intrest and contributed to the action group funding for court case in 2010 until ruled against, and funding ran dry.

There is also a number of claims being made against the bank in relation to misleading their customers. There is a legal group now setting up a claims site especially dedicated to FP.
