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.
When the period specified in your online claim has expired (14 days from 29th April I think, so that should be 13th May?) then go back to website and enter judgement by default against Barclays. Barclays can appeal against this but they have to have a damn good reason for the Court to allow an extension of that 14 days.
You can then apply to enforce payment ie baliffs entering premises. It costs but you get it back.
i just got that same letter today! Hope i don't have to go all the way to northampton. I am hoping things won't go that far - how successful have people been with Barclays?
Just throwing one out here, but let's not be naive...
...there seems to be a lack of people who have reported to have gotten their money back. None have put their details into the litigation concluded section. Make what you will of this. However, no one has reported to have not won their money back...gagging orders?
I've a few days left before I launch my moneyclaim as the lba is about to have run its course. I, like most others, have been offered a few quid, in relative terms, to drop my case. I will not. The lack of reprted victories/acts of justice is not testament to the genuine results...hopefully!!??
We have a lot of users currently waiting for the defnce to back down after they have had a defence filed. I suspect they will but we will have to wait and see, alot of it will happen in the next couple of weeks!
Mr Keith Jeremiah has 'intended to defend all of the claim!'
Now very worried...will have to swot up on all of the site to make sure I am ready!
Has anyone got any advice???
No advice Skip, however! Keep the faith and dont worry... I expect the 'greedies' are monitoring this site and reporting directly to Mr 'Keith Jeremiah'...
Well Keith 'me ole mate' start getting ya act together coz we are coming for ya!
'Strength in Unity'
I am looking forward to recieving my own standard "Keith Jeremiah will defend" notice soon
OK!! Now i'm running scared...Have recieved a defence through the post...also they have moved the court to my local court and want to charge me £100 for the priviliege!!
The defence is about 3 pages long....What do I do??????
The fee is not for them moving to your local court - this is where it would be anyway.
It is for the allocation questionnaire and only for claims above £1500. We are very close to finalising a help file on filling this in, and it should be in our FAQs very soon indeed.
There is nothing to worry about, it's all quite standard, especially if they are trying their best to put you off!!

Ok Guys...I am going to post Barclays defence on tomorrow as will take a while to type but in the mean time I need some advice...
I have the change of court forms and need to fill them in within a week....there are 4 sections that I am querying..
1 - Track.....Is the small claims court the most suitable way to go?
2 - Am I calling any witnesses? (I think no but I could be wrong!!)
3 - Do I need to call an expert?
4 - What other information do I need to submit? (I.e any phrases such as I do not dispute that I knew about the charges but the amounts are disproportionate ...etc etc)
Sorry if these are dumb questions but I am a little confused by everything?
