About to start claim against barclays Any help appreciated
After many many years of paying Barclays extortionate bank charges, most of which were incurred due to their first charge pushing me over my limit, I am going to try and get Barclays to refund the money.
I have no idea how much I have paid them over the last 6 years so have filled in the S.A.R form and will post off tommorow.
Any info I may need that wasn't in FAQ's would be appreciated and of course I will update with replys as and when recieved
Re: About to start claim against barclays Any help appreciated
Right. after 2 weeks have recieved my statements and ploughed through them twice (didn't want to miss any of the little blighters as they do like to print the fee small) as with other members, Barclays returned my cheque with a letter saying they did not charge for statements and thanking me for my custom, as they should after I added up all my fees. 1485 pounds in total over 6 years!! Am now going to download next letter and post that off recorded mail. We will see how we go, and will keep you all posted.

Right. well, I posted off my "nice" please send me my money back letter giving them 14 days, on 13th Sept, recieved letter dated 14th Sept saying my letter had been recieved and they were sorry I was unhappy with the charges on my account and the matter is being dealt with by a dedicated member of their team. Though they accnowledged my time scale, they would indevour to respond within 4 weeks, and promised an answer within 8 weeks! Now i'm sure, having used the template letter that I was very clear about the 14 days!! What do I do now?

Hello, this is just a standard fob off, treat it with the contempt it deserves! Stick to your timetable they are aware they have 14 days i am sure you will get a reply however after the 14 days submit your MCOL.

Re: About to start claim against barclays Any help appreciated
My deadline day has been and gone (yesterday!) with no response from Barclays, so now time for my lba to be sent. Unfortunately i crushed my foot yesterday (is that an omen) with an iron (don't ask!!) so hubby is printing out my letter and bringing it home tonight so we can sign and post off. Will again be sent by 1st class recorded and we will see whether I get any response. Will keep you all posted ;-)
Re: About to start claim against barclays Any help appreciated
Today is my deadline day for Barclays, and an offer has arrived in the post. Barclays have offered me 625.00 of the 1510.00 I was claiming for. Now though I know this is going to upset a great deal of people who will think I am mad, I have decided to accept the money. This is due to my own personal circumstances and I hope that other people will have the means to obtain all their fees. So I would just like to thank you all for your help and will complete the survey and make my contribution to the site.
