What are we doing to help people with claims in court ?
Legal Beagles have engaged a prominent consumer protection law firm to advise on the way forwards with regards to historical bank charge reclaiming through the courts. We have worked very hard on formulating and collating the new arguments for particulars of claims and letters.
Following counsel's opinion we will be producing a skeleton POC for members to use as a starting point. We strongly believe that a generic one-size-fits-all template alone will not be appropriate for the ongoing campaign and that the era of ‘print off and send’ claims is over. Claims will need to be individualised for each bank and to each claimant’s own circumstances. Reclaiming charges through the courts could be a complex and lengthy process and should not be entered into lightly. We will assist people all we can.
Consumer groups continue to work on the generic advice for complaints with banks and through FOS. Raymond Cox QC was instructed by Mike Dailly on behalf of MSE and other groups and is working on these and possibility of a standard claim template.
There also remains the possibility of a group action and this is currently under consideration with the law firm, counsel and ourselves.
