Additional compensation requested for pain caused by AIB Bank as a result of breach of contract on their part.What was the basis of the appeal if you don’t mind me asking.
How Freudian! (To which the answer is probably yes!)legal hell ?
No legal help.Legal help?
This in my view raises an important issue. That of expert assistance.
My own view for anyone considering bringing an appeal or considering court action is to seek out professional assistance in preparing your claim for additional compensation eg a financial specialist, forensic accountant or specialist solicitor.
They may have an alternative or better angle on how to best frame your claim and may add value by introducing additional aspects to your claim that you yourself had not even considered. It is going to cost money initially, but is money well spent if successful, in my view, as it is more likely to enhance the value of the claim than if you were to frame it yourself.
In the end, I decided against bringing an appeal to the Appeals Board.Have you not appealed yet Jayom75 - is there not a deadline in place to make an appeal to the Appeals Board?
And no claim to the Ombudsman or the courts?In the end, I decided against bringing an appeal to the Appeals Board.
Hi @Jumping JensonWhy would you propose that other people should seek legal advice before submitting an appeal if you have not submitted any appeal yourself?
Good luck with your appeal to the Ombusdman and/or the Courts!Hi @Jumping Jenson
Because it’s sound advice for anyone considering bringing an appeal. And I didn’t restrict my suggestion to merely seeking legal advice - I said people should seek out professional assistance.
As for me, maybe I was happy with the compensation offered by the bank and didn’t see merit in appealing further. Or maybe I am seeking additional redress through the courts or the Ombudsman and would prefer not to say.
But my personal situation is irrelevant to the point I made. If anyone is considering bringing an appeal to whichever forum, my view is that you should engage an expert to assist you, as it may add benefit by enhancing the claim. That’s hardly controversial advice.
ThanksGood luck with your appeal to the Ombusdman and/or the Courts!
In my case, as I has been in mortgage arrears and the repossession courts and would have been even if the correct rate has been applied due to long term unemployment, based on legal advice I did receive an appeal to the Appeals Board was the correct path.
Thanks for sharing - I intend to do the same , I’ll just need fill the appeal forms out myself and will make reference to the interest rate appliedWhat have people done over the last 12 months?
I have appealed to the Independent Appeals tribunal and received additional compensation which I accepted.
Are there many pursuing actions in the courts or with the Ombusdman at this time?
