How to get paid even if you have taken Barclays to Court
I think this may only apply to ex Woolwich customers but I have had a bit of luck in getting paid despite taking Barclays to court.
I received an offer that I didn't think was enough so I took court action, my case has been stayed and therefore because I had rejected their offer and gone for the court route my offer had been withdrawn.
However it seems that the people handling the ex Woolwich peoples offers are not being updated by the Barclays litigation team with regards who has taken court action, so as far as they are concerned they are still honouring offers if you apply.
Despite the court action I decided not to wait and risk getting a lower amount so accepted the original offer and the funds were credited into my account within 2 days.
I still have the court action pending which I guess at some point Barclays will realise that I have already been paid but at this stage I'm going to jut sit on it and see if Barclays spot their mistake.
I guess if you want to still be paid something rather than wait for the OFT hearing you should apply whilst this loophole is still open.
