I applied to Barclaycard for a refund of all charges paid and they have written to say as a
gesture of goodwill
they will refund the difference between the OFT recommendation of £12.00 etc etc. I have responded by saying I will accept this as a partial refund but will pursue them for the remainder. In my letter, I asked them to provide a
Breakdown
of their actual costs to which they have replied: "Barclaycard is not under any obligation to provide a breakdown of their costs. As previously mentioned we believe itis fair that when people break the terms of their agreement with us, we recover the costs involved".
It will obviously be necessary for me to file a claim for the balance of the charges as they appear to have totally disregarded my statement that I am accepting their partial offer but will pursue them for the rest through the court. In addition, they have put a further 2 x £12 charges on my most recent statement for 1) Late payment fee and 2) overlimit charge. A £600 limit is now well over £1200 due to the charges that have been applied to the account.
Do I write back to them and say I will be pursuing them through the court for the balance and also state that I will be asking them to disclose the actual amount it cost them each time I incurred a charge?
