    Hi LA,

    I send a cca request receive and documents in April.
    Can you please explain this. In particular, who did you send CCA request and S.A.R - (Subject access requesticon) to.

    Don't call Calders or Mercers - it'll get you nowhere.

    Write to Calders stating the account is in disputeicon, a CCA request was sent to whoever on date and an SAR was sent to whoever on date. Accordingly, they should not contact you about this further as this would be in breach of the OFT Guidelines on debt collectionicon.

    I assume you don't have all the a/c state's which is why you've sent the SAR. When they reply, follow the Reclaiming Guide in Link No1 in my signature below to see how much you've been charged in unlawful penalties on the a/c. You can reclaim the charges and Contractual interesticon on top if you do this from the outset (your Prelim Letter).

    This can be used to reduce the balance owed on the a/c and, while the a/c is in dispute, they should cease collection activity (but they wont !!).

    By the time this is sorted, you should be in a position to either bring the a/c pay'ts up to date.

    Or, if they cant produce the required documents in response to your CCA request, you can pay off the debt over a period which suits you.

    Is my account still in dispute, as i've now sent my Prelim Letter which will reduce my balance to a little under £200.00.

    I got another letter from Calder Financial
    Not sure what i should do about this - is this just another empty scare tatic -

    "IMPORTANT NOTICE



    We are still dealing with your account on behalf of Barclaycard/ This account is still overdue and we have been unable to contact you.

    We have now instructed a local debt collectoricon to visit you at the above address to arrange a method of payment.

    To prevent this action from being taken, or to agree a repayment planicon, call us on ……."

    Ltr to DCAicon to confirm you will NOT discuss this matter by phone or with any agent calling at your door (who will be asked to leave).

    As the a/c has unlawful penalty charges, you are in contact with BC to resolve this matter and, when the necessary refund is made to your a/c, you will resume pay'ts to the a/c.

    Default Re: LA2006 vs Barclaycard

    Well I only got round to sending a lbaicon at the beginning of March 2009 to reclaim charges applied to the Barclaycard account, got no reply from Barclaysicon, so filed a N1 claim at court via post.
    Unfortunately, I used statements from my SARicon up until last year May 2008 - thinking the account had been frozen - as the account was in dispute.

    Today I got a letter from Westcot ( I guess they took an extended hoilday, (Wescot was chasing me in March 2008, then it was passed to CALDER, I'm sure it was passed to someone else, during all these months the balance was frozen, then it went silent, until today)

    I think I triggered Barclays memory - after sending my LBA (same thing happen with Halifax - westcot also started chasing after sending a LBA)

    The balance stated by the letter by Westcot has increased by £170.00 ( all of which must be charges and interesticon which has been applied)despite Barclays not sending any statements - which I thought they had to do if there is a new transaction, even though its a cancelled card.


    I guest I will need to do another SARicon request to Barclaycard.
    As I have already filled a N1 - How do I cancel this claim?/ Or can I added the extra charges at a later date - as soon as I get this info.

    And will I have to send another LBA letter to Barclaycard once I get the SAR back again?

    Hi LA,

    Do you have statements covering the period from when you filed your claim, to date. Then you can check how much more has been added in charges, to see if this explains the higher a/c balance.

    I'd drop Westcott a quick letter saying:-

    " Dear sir or madam,

    Your ref: xxxx xxxx

    This a/c is now the subject of legal action against BC, against whom I issued a court claim on xxdate.

    Any further action taken by you to demand payment in respect of an which is In Dispute is in direct breach of the OFT Guidelines on debt collectionicon and will be reported to the fosicon for investigation, without further notice.

    I suggest you seek further instructions from BC before contacting me again. "

    If you send BC an updated SOC showing all charges which you need refunding, they may agree to do this without the need for further court involvement.

    If they won't agree, you'll have to submit a form N244icon to court asking for your claim to be amended in accordance with your new SOC which you enclose.

    Hi LA,

    I think the quickest way forward with this is to send BC a new SARicon.

    They should supply you with all the usual data but you could specifically mention the dates for which you've rec'd no statements.

    When you get this, review the charges and see if the statement data ties up with Westcott's demands.

    On the Form N1, did you name BC as:-

    Barclaysicon Bank PLC t/a Barclaycard ......

    ...... at the Churchill Place address.

    Well,

    Barclaycard has offered me a Full and finalicon settlement of the full claim and asked me to sign their agreement with them.

    But I have noticed they have used someone else name and claim numberof the settlement letter. ( my name and address is correct), but its Dear someone else, with their claim number.

    I wonder if they are in breach of data protection by disclosing someone else claim number and name ( its just the title and surname)

    And they have still failed to respond to my SARicon, I sent them a reminder but still no reply ( both was sent by recorded delivery)

    Hi LA,

    If you don't know what charges have been made recently, you can't agree to any offer really.

    Does the offer include your court fees paid so far and s.69 interesticon.

    Don't be conned into signing any confidentiality agreement with them.

    You need to reject their offer and confirm you await their proper response to your SARicon dated xxdate.

    You can mention to them how they've disclosed someone else's data to you and you're concerned they may have disclosed your data to someone else. Tell them, unless they sort out your SARicon quickly, you'll report this serious breach of data protection to the ICO.

    A little update:

    I got my SARicon back no extra charges were added to this account. I then wrote a letter to Barclaysicon saying I agree to the offer of Full and finalicon settlement, but don't agree to their terms, and they used someone else personal details.

    I asked for the bank charges to be returned to account and then court fee and statutory interesticon to be paid my cheque to me within the next 7 days. They ignored this and just sent me another letter of agreement to sign. I sent Barclays legal clerk an email repeating my simple request giving them another 7 days . Currently awaiting their respone. ...
