Default bobsp v Barclaycard

Hi all,

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) sent 14/12/06
They called the Mrs (this is Mrs bobsp v Barclaycard) saying they will send something out by 01/02/07
Nothing recieved so sent LBA 05/02/07.

As we have no idea what the charges for Barclaycard are what do I do after LBA expires. MCOL for what though?

I apologise if this is on the forum, i have been reading sooo much over the last few weeks my little brain if frying, I am watching around 10 other cases and trying to keep up.

Thanks in advance

how can you have sent an LBA if you dont know the charges?

Did you estimate them from some statements you had?

The LBA is to force them to comply with the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) as they have not sent anything out. Should I have gone another route? How cab I get them to send the statements out?

possibly my misinterpretation - did you send a "claim" LBA out or an "Subject Access Request non-compliance" LBA out?

Have a look at the library of documents on the general bank charges forum. There is a template for the non-compliance court claim.

OK, letter sent asking for £431 on 26/02/07, on 01/03/07 they just credited £143. I called B/Card to see what the CR was for, and I was told that it was the difference between what I was charged and the £12, that they should have charged, there will be no further credits.

I am sending a letter declining the CR, or that I will take as part payment, but if they dont pay the full amount, and I file MCOL, how much do I claim, and how does the interest side work?

Thanks

Bob

They had 14 days to comply with the non disclosure LBA so if it were me I would

1. Send letter as you state above accepting as part payment only.
2. Proceed to court forcing them to provide data/statements.

Sorry you didn't say if the £400 odd you are claiming was because they sent you the info. If so I suggest you follow step 1 only.

Hi,

We eventually got the statements after hounding Adrian Whalley.

I will write stating the above (no1) and remind them they have xx days left to pay the full amount, after that time an LBA, then MCOL.

Thanks

What interest did you state on your prelim? You have to state contractual from the first, if you are happy to go down that way. If like me, you want to ease yourself in gently, claim 8% when you get to court stage. Vamp's spreadsheets do this for you if that is what you are using.

Do lots of reading while you are waiting. We were all new once and there is plently of help out there but you will feel more confident if you have a feel for the next stages in advance. Good luck

I have heard more and more banks are trying to refund the difference of what people have been charged and this £12 "As recommended by the OFT". I cant find anywhere that says the OFT recommend £12. Is there any kind of template or referral that can be sent back with the, partial payment/refusal letter that quashes these banks claims.

Thanks

Is it worth supplying them with a copy of this, which I am sure they are aware of, well is there any harm in supplying a copy?

you do not add 8% until COURT CLAIM!
