Default Unwilling to refund

hi well after much hard work have finally got onto this site , am exhausted !! Am chasing barclays two closed accounts one business. Have sent letters from money saving expert site and the answer to my "i'll start court proceedings if no answer in two weeks" letter was a letter from Barclays saying they disagree with my view as charges details were provided in terms/conditions upon opening account and they are unwilling to refund charges.Have just been directed here.Has anybody else had this letter and have any advise they can share. Can understand why people give up !! Thanks

They tell everyone at the beginning they're not going to pay in the hopes you will give up, keep going you'll get there in the end

ok timeline on mcol :-
from date of issue its 5 days to be deemed served
14 days from when deemed served to acknowledgement
28 days from when deemed served to defence
total of 33 days allowed from issue to the defence

You should now send your SOC (schedule of charges) to mcol with covering letter found here- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...tml#post614610
Once you receive acknowledgement send SOC (schedule of charges) to B's litigation department with covering letter

Hope that helps
