Section C - Track

Do you agree that the small claims track is the most suitable track for this claim?

TICK Yes

Section D - Witnesses

So far as you know at this stage, how many witnesses (other than yourself) do you intend to call to give evidence at the hearing?

Enter the number of witnesses you intend to call to give evidence not including yourself or any expert witness - Typically this would be 0

Section E - Experts

Do you want permission to use an expert’s report at the hearing?

Unless you know otherwise, TICK NO

Section G - Other Information

In the space below, set out any other information you consider will help the judge to manage or clarify the claim, including any other information you consider should be supplied by the other party.

Give details of any other information that you consider will help the judge to manage the claim, referring as necessary to any documents you might have attached. Bear in mind however that at this stage you need not attach all other documents that you wish the court to consider at the hearing. This is something you will later be asked to provide. If you have not previously given a copy of the charges breakdown, showing dates and amounts plus interest, then let the court know here that you are attaching 2 copies of this with your reply.

If you have previously submitted these details, then say so here.

This would also be the place to argue for small claims track if there were any complexities, such as a claim for injunction or a claim under the Data Protection Act.

Mmm... thats a wierd one ain't it?

All the claims and yet I don't see many end of threads saying

"Went to court and got my money back"

There is also this mysterious 'confidentiality agreement' that I have heard about... does that mean anyone who succeeds can't say?

Thing is who is going to know who skippyb or bookworm is? (no offence peeps)

Come on someone... let's have some news

[kaznelson]

I dont think anybody has actually got to the hearing stage yet......but they soon will

[jonni2bad]

They're not winning, of that you can be sure, you would have heard if they had.

I think that either
1) people are getting their money back with confidentiality attached
2) people are getting their money back, and can't be bothered telling us
3) people are not getting their money back yet, because Barclays are holding on to our money for as long as they possibly can, hoping that some will give up after getting cold feet. Sound familiar?

Let's look at this rationally for one moment:

Possibilities for winning:
1) Bank pays up at 1st letter
2) bank pays up at 2nd letter
3) bank pays up at claim issuing stage
4) before acknowledgement of service
5) after acknowldegement of service
6) before lodging a defense
7) after lodging a defense
at allocation questionnaire time
9) after allocation questionnaire, but before hearing,
10) any time between hearing date set and actual hearing
11) on court steps.... Or
12) bank goes in hearing, gets trounced.

Possibilities for losing:
1) bank goes in hearing, you lose.
2) Er, that's it.

What do you lose? Your court fees, and you never get money back to which you had kissed goodbye a long, long time ago anyway.

I went on a nice holiday the other day thanks to 'holiday' advice found on this site! I have to say the location was a real 'WINNER'

I would like to thank everyone who helped me make my mind up to embark on this incredible journey... and in particular Boonyed, Bankfodder et al...

My advice to everyone here is - hang in there... keep your nerve... Go for it... flying at all that bad...

I just 'SETTLED' back into your seat on the plane... it was a long flight, and not without some turbulance on the way... but let me tell you when you land the feeling is fantastic!!!!!!

PS My 'Holiday' was about £500

PPS Sorry I cannot say any more about my 'holiday' the travel agent said "not to tell anyone"

Not bad eh...
thanks again

[victimnomore]

Congratulations on your 'holiday', Dom. I pressume you arranged it in confidence, but thanks for letting your friends here know how much you enjoyed it (nobody can complain about that, can they?).

I hope everything was to your satisfaction!!!
