RBS ignored the claim so in October Mr Purcell filed an online application to get the money back through the county court.
In other words RBS believed they are beyond the law.

Quote:
It ordered RBS to pay the charges and £120 court costs. When RBS again failed to respond Mr Purcell got the court to give him a warrant of execution, allowing him to order debt collectors to reclaim items from the bank equal in value to the amount he was owed.
Still RBS thinking they are beyond the law.

Quote:
Finally on Monday, January 8, a team of debt collectors walked into the busy Camden Town branch in North London, demanded to see the manager, showed their court order and announced that they were repossessing items.
OOPS... Heads will roll for this...

Quote:
"They thought they were above the law, so it is great to know that customers can use the law in the same way the bank does to get money they are owed."
I don't know... I think he just got lucky.

Quote:
A spokesman for RBS said: "We are looking into this as a matter of urgency, but early indications suggest that unfortunately due to an administrative error, the bank failed to defend the claim leading to a default judgment being obtained on the branch and a resulting warrant.
RBS believes we are above the law and this was a screw up buy a employee. "Banks don't owe people money ... people owe Banks". "Heads will Roll for this".

Quote:
"The confusion was cleared up at the branch."
Heads rolled. The bank is looking for new employees.

Quote:
"The heavy-handed debt collecting approach is something that the banks have been handing out to their customers for years. Mr Purcell simply gave them a bit of their own back."
Buy the CD and find out how.
