Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Took out a claim for miselling of PPI on Barclays loan though a company, paid the solicitors involved £495 for the privilege. Waited approx 3-4m only for the solicitors to write and confirm as you don’t remember any discussion regarding PPI Barclays say you have no claim.
Can some one advise me as to whether they think I will be able to get any money back out of the solicitors and what the best method is to approach this, i feel that they should have known if i had a claim or not and just took my money as a quick buck
I am going to write to them and ask them to provide me with a copy of all correspondence etc to and from Barclays and take the claim up myself (which I should have done anyway)
But will I have to repeat the process direct to Barclays or can I merely refer this straight to the fos once I’ve obtained all the correspondence from the solicitors/Barclays and made sure they have done what they should have
Have people managed to have much success with claiming back via Barclays and if so what was the best route/stance to take

my views are my own...seek legal advice if ness
NEVER EVER - act on a private message asking you to visit another website, make contact 'off list' or by telephone
- alert the siteteam IMMEDIATELY by hitting the black warning triangle on any message - Particularly if this results in a request to pay a fee to help you.
rather than hittting to be my friend - hit the star
Look in the stickies at the top of this forum. Read all the threads and links and get ready for a fight with Barclays. You must be prepared so study and if you have any questions just post and you should get a response to assist you further.
The general message is do not use claim companies or solicitors or anyone else on PPI reclaiming you can do it yourself and the only cost is postage and a £10.00 fee for the SAR. Any advice is free and mostly from caggers who have claimed and won either through the Financial Ombudsman Service or directly to the bank, credit card company, mortgage provider etc.
Put in complaints to these websites (sadly they are temporarily unavailable)
You can just do a google search on complaints about solicitors and bingo you get results. This should help you to complain about the solicitor (If they are legally registered) to the regulators which may help you recover your £495 fees.
I have a complaint in against Barclays at the moment and am awaiting a response to my claim within approx 5 weeks.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc
Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.
Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.
