I had my house repo'd in Dec 2001 whilst I was ill (still am and Abbey's antics aren't helping me recover).(posted 7953 days ago)They processed the sale very quickly, at under the market value, amazingly before Xmas the selling agent Cubitt & West sold in within a few days of it going on the market. The sale was completed on Jan 31 2002.
Abbey national calculate that the net surplus is about £100K but refuse to release this unless I sign a "receipt" - this it transpires is no such thing but a note to the effect that I will accept this amount as full and final settlement - something I will not do. Does anyone know if they can withold this money on that basis?
Also how do I locate a good lawyer to pursue this further. Since Abbey have most of my money I cannot pay the lawyer until I extract the money from Abbey - will a lawyer take the case knowing this?
Help, please.
Their trixster lawyers are Tucker Turner Kingsley and Wood.
