Im gobsmacked a RESULT

[whirlwind]

Just phoned Barclays to ask how i go about getting copies and the nice lady said she could pop them in the post for me
She asked how long back I wanted to go and I told her from March 2000,
(Im sure I heard her fall off her chair)
She then asked why I needed the statements
Told her I needed to prove income for financial reasons
She said there will be a one off £5 fee for all the statements as they were made on a single request and it would take 7/10 working days to get them to me
We wait and see now

A shame Nationwide are not as quick ehh

THANKS GUYS

	The Banking Code Follow this link to read the Banking Code in full. Ofen ignored by its subscribers, half-heartedly monitored and poorly enforced

	Bank Charges You should have started your claim for your bank charges by now. Don't wait. You should send your bank a Subject Acess Request asking for all personal data they hold on you - not just statements. You should calculate all of your bank charges and related interest as far back as 1995. You should send your bank a demand for a refund giving them 7 days. You should commence your legal action adding 8% statutory interest. If you wait for the outcome of the test case, you may not be able to claim like this. you may not be able to claim interest. You may only be offered the difference between the charge and the OFT "fair charge". The repayment scheme will try to limit you to refinds from 2001 only. A repayment scheme will not deal with any bank charges related defaults on the credit register whereas in a court action you can ask for these to be removed and to be compensated for the damage caused to you and your family by them. You should also write to the bank and to the CRA and put all charges related credit entries in disupte and warn them that you will want them removed from the Register when the test case is over. Warn them also that you are likely to be seeking compensation for these wrongful data entries. Full and final settlement Have you previously accepted a partial repayment of your bank charges in full settlement? You will still be able to claim the rest of your money back after the Test case is decided. Get all your information back to 1995 and put in your claim now.

Thats just it I sent the standard letter from the libary
Im gobsmacked as I thought it would take a lot longer than it has, hope they are as quick with my husbands claim, I sent his letter off on Friday, mind you hes claiming £1750 back so I think his may take a bit more pursading than my £150

Interesting. They have given you 100% of your charges back, but offered me less than 50%. They have taken £1360.00 from me over the past 6 years and offered £520 back.

Cheeky gets.

Let the games begin!
