I phoned them and finally managed to establish that 'Claim dismissed' actually means 'Hearing Cancelled' because Defendant agreed to settle. Phew! When will they learn to speak plain English?

I'm new to this so am I right in joining this thread and reating it to my own problems ? Hope it's ok, so here goes.

Does anybody know what would happen if the judge in the first instance suggests that the filing of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case ? How does this affect me ? Is there any action I need to take or do I just sit and wait ? I don't know if and when I should submit any additional data that may be helpful with the claim such as a revised Claim amount or detailed list of charges (explanation follows).

Barclays are defending my claim and have stated that 'The particulars of Claom do not provide details or particulars of the account in questiom and/or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful, or the dates thereof.' It then states that 'the Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof or each charge and the date thereof.'

This is correct in that the draft version that I used, showing me what I should write, only required details on total amounts. However, the full details were submitted to Barclays when first advising of my intentions.

Lastly, the bank says I can't apply for charges made before 17th May 2001 as this is 6 years, however, my initial request, and calculations thereafter, were based on some charges slightly before this date but the delay in getting a reply and applying for action may have made some of these unclaimable. Does it matter that the amount that I am claiming may now have changed and therefore the amount I have asked fo could be wrong ?

In case it's relevant, the 'Notice of Transfer of Porceedings' was dated 27th June 2006.

For info, I have also started a seperate thread but this one seemed relevant to my case.

Hi DW

Might be more effective to stick to your thread so that your progress can be followed and people can give you accurate advise.

Just cut and paste your post above as this thread is no in Successes and won't get many long term follow up replies.

Hi All
Having settled in full last summer, they have now hit me with a further 3 Paid Referral Fees of £30, although they have refunded the first one for good behavior --- 'I usually keep my account in good order and have not incurred a Paid Referral Fee during the last 12 months.' My account went overdrawn on Tuesday 13 May, they sent me a letter which I received on Friday 16 May, by which time a couple of other transactions had gone through and it went to a total of £60 before I was able to transfer funds.
How can I get the £60 back, particularly in light of the current ruling that the OFT (Office of Fair Trading) is now looking into the whole business.
Is it worth writing to Barclays? If they had texted me using this centuries technology instead of the ordinary post that was invented several centuries ago I could have taken immediate action.
Regards,
