Aliob1 Vs Barclays*Judgement by default at Last **
Hi all,
This is my first thread although I am quite far on my claim of £650
Prelim Letter sent 4/7 Standard fob off letter received 7/7 (promising looking into my claim and would get a response by 31/7) lba sent 28/7 Received partial offer of £430 on 1/8
Advice is now needed as I have received an offer for 3/4 of the full amount, £430 . I'm very tempted to accept this offer, although I think I can get the rest of it.. do I need to respond to this offer? or just start my money claim now?
Hi, Read FAQ section and accept offer of interim payment but inform them that you will be persueing them through the courts for the rest. Try and read other threads and that should give you guidance. (hit the scales if you think that this advice is useful)
I am a little confiused, I sent my lba last Friday 28th July, on monday I got an offer of £430 but this was in response to my prelim letter dated 4th July. Today I have recived another letter in response to my LBA saying that they will look into my claim and get back to me b4 25th August this one has a different reference on it?. I am due to write to Barclays on Monday telling them that I will accept the £430 as a part payment and pursue them through the county court for the balance, but today when I have looked at my online banking they have charged me another £30 for being £6.50 over my overdraft Can I now add this to my claim along with intrest.
Again can anyone help me please.:idea:

I sent Barclays a letter yesterday giving them 7 days to pay up in full before I submit a moneyclaim online. Just waiting now till Monday 14th August when I will do that as it looks like you have to go down that road with Barclays to be in with any chance of getting your full claim back!
Will keep you all posted as to where I am up to.

Hi I am a little confused:-? , I issued my claim against Barclays on 15th August, they aknowledge the claim on 21st August, for which I got a letter from the courts to say that they have 28 days from date of issue to submit a defence. Can someone please clarify for me if that is 28 days from the 15th August or 28 days from the 21st August?
I have just been reading Nightstars thread(very interseting read BTW) and they have been told by someone at Barclays that KJ is on holiday until the 11th Sept which could end up being good news depending on which date I need to go from.
I would really appreciate some clarity please:-?
Thanks

The 28 days starts from when the claim was served on the defendant. I think the Court assumes 2 days after they sent out the papers to Barclays. This is probably one day after you got your notification in the post - making it the 18th August.
You need to go to MoneyClaim around the 14/15th Sept and see if you can file for Judgement by Default, if Barclays have not submitted their defence in time. They seem pretty good, however, at getting in their defence at the last possible moment, thus causing you maximimum delay in getting your money.

It looks like you are few days behind me. Barclays had until 17th Sept to submitt their defense which was a sunday. I called the MCOL helpdesk yesterday to see if I could file for judgment by default and they told me that I had to wait untill this morning. Still no defense so I have just filed for judgement. As to whether you should submitt another claim sorry i'm not 100% sure but I can't see why not!
Good Luck
Ali

If Moneyclaim has allowed you to go for 'Judgement by Default' that is really good. However, it has been known for this to fail and Moneyclaim accept Barclays late defence. Keep on trying and checking. If it really works you can then serve a warrant (costs £55) and bailiffs will go in if Barclays don't pay up quickly.
My advice is to not talk to Barclays, do everything by recorded delivery letters.
Spotty
Really good luck to you.

Just a quick update, I have just checked MCOL and Judgment has been issued. I have now also issued a warrent - so I think that that means that the bailiffs are going in and Barclays will now have to pay me a further £55! . Not too sure what I should do now though - do I just sit back and wait for the money? or do I need to contact someone?
Will keep you posted
