Hi All

Have just phoned B's to make sure they have received Acceptance form and remind them that they would make payment WITHIN 10 working days, only to be told actually its 14 to 21 working days. Lying B**t***s, wish i had continued to court now

They do like to keep us waiting, it seems they made a quick decision to pay up once the FOS were involved but are now dragging it out, did the FOS pass any comment on it?

	The Financial Ombudsman Service For the most part, don't bother. The Ombudsman is an industry arranged service which is under-resourced, takes too long, lacks clear transparency. You have no idea what evidence the FOS has received from the bank or how your complain has really been handled. The FOS is the preferred complaints route for the banking industry. The county court is to be preferred by consumers for its speed, openness, the quality of its awards and also because it will award 8% interest on top of any damages won by you. The Ombudsman should normally be used to solving little technical difficulties or customer service problems which you have expereinced with your bank.

No, got the offer before i posted complaint to FOS

Hi All

Barclay's have today deposited the good will gesture into my account so i guess that is case closed on this one. I know i didn't recover all my charges but my circumstances dictated that and i do consider this to be a success. Roll on round 2.

Trucker

[katscash]

congratulations trucker

[oneofakind]

congratulations Trucker!

OK, so you didn't recover 100%, but, as you say, it's a victory.

Have a glass for me, and roll on round 2!

[Trucker]

Thanks guys and gals.... will have a celebratory beer or 3 on friday night at the maryport blues festival... cheers

[Trucker]

your talents are wasted on here...lol

[oneofakind]

Who's on in Maryport? We have the (world famous) Stanley Blues Festival next Saturday, Chris Farlowe headlining.

[Trucker]

Gary Moore friday, Van Morrison Saturday night and CJ Chenier & the Red Hot Lousiana Band on Sunday are the headliners.

Hmm. Well, we get free entry (to a tent in a field) and we can take our own beer....

Our main stage is a tent, in a field. £95 quid for weekend ticket (thanks Barclays). Also another 15 pub venues with about 30 bands a day. Plus free open air stage with local bands
