    Default Barclaycard Help

    Hi
    Could someone please give me some advice. I have had a Barclaycard since around 1984 - 1986.

    I have CCA'd them and they have sent me a copy of my "Conditions of Use" from when I opened my account (so they say). It has none of the prescribed terms. It also does not say when the account was opened.

    Firstly I would like to know where I stand if it turns out that the account was opened before May 1985.

    Secondly, I would like to know what happens with regard to PPIicon and charges that date back to when I took out the card. I only have statements going back to Oct 2003 and I was still paying PPI then even though I was made redundanticon in 1990 - so obviously did not know what it was for. I have had no charges (until recently) applied to the card in the last six years but I did before this as with the PPI. What are the chances of me being able to claim this back?

    Your advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi LK,

    Can you start a new threadicon, to d/w the PPIicon aspect, in the PPI forum.

    You can certainly reclaim all penalty charges in the last 6 yearsicon, quite easily.

    Any older ones will be much harder to reclaim as BC will refuse to repay and you'll have to file a claim at court, with no guarantee of success.

    Whats the significance of the a/c being older than May '85 ?

    Hello Slick!

    Whats the significance of the a/c being older than May '85 ?
    I think that will be in relation to the fact that many key areas of The Consumer Credit Act 1974 did not fully come into force until 19 May 1985.

    Such as: s61, s62, s63, s64, s65, s127 etc.

    It's all a bit of a mess before 19/05/1985...but the mess works both ways I think!

    Cheers,
    BRW

    Hi Banker Rhymes
    I have been trying to find something on the forums that answers Slick's question, so thank you for that. But what do you mean 'but the mess works both ways I think'?
