Nope.................Only £8000 damage to credit status by wrongful default.............no mention of costs though.Originally posted by ncf355 View Post
I would imagine he can claim interest on the £8000 to date ......or is that wishful thinking.
BUt one thing we do have a level of damges for a wrongful default.

No, only the 8k, however an important principle there that the banks have a duty of care to take reasonable steps to ensure that the agreement is enforceable before they issue a default on a credit file. If they breach that duty of care then they are liable in damages.
You really need to look beyond the money sums here, Richards quantum will not be the same as someone elses, it will be a case by case matter, the damages will depend on the loss, if you can show the losses are not too remote then you will still be able to press for them.
In Richards case it was the fact that the Appeal Court altered the fact findings that meant the Supreme Court couldn't deal with the other heads of damage, that doesnt mean that the next case, properly set up, will not win on the additional heads of damage
