Thread: Reaver V's Barclaycard! How much longer must I wait?

Oh and not to mention the fun I had with the dept. I was pestered with loads of those nasty letter for a couple of years. I ended up paying a dept collector in person at the door £20 per month. After a while I wised up and found out from barclaycard the dept was actually sold to Caboot a while back. So I'd been paying the dept collector at the door, who'd been paying barclaycard, who'd been paying Caboot?!?!

I sorted this out early 2006 and set up a £20 standing order, which later became a £25 standing order afeter I missed a payment. You can tell their phone staff are trained simply to get "£5 more,£5 more!!" out of you.

Although after hearing the amount I owe last time........I have a sneaking susipsion they're charging interest. I must call up I guess and find out, Or maybe just send the letter to ask them NOT to charge interest??

Oh Barclaycard will regret the day they crossed THE REAVER!!!

Hi Everyone!

STILL NO REPLY FROM BARCLAYCARD!!! Should I complain to the information commisioner? Has anyone got a link for me? Many thanks.
I seem to have hit a brick wall here....help?!?

Reaver

Hi,

I have had the same problems with them, I have also complained go Information Commissioners - Enquiry form

They are the worst, really are....

Hey bobsp.

Many thanks there for the link. They are obviously just trying to stall, and after the trouble they caused me!!! From another thread I found someone who already complained. the information comissioner said

"In addition, section 13 of the Act gives individuals the right to claim compensation if they have suffered damage as a result of a contravention of the Act"

So I should be to do a claim for this, I was reading another thread about this but cant find the link right now.
Question: could I include this in my claim for the charges or would I have to do a separate claim?

Many thank.

Hi,

We had a call today and have been assured the statements will be here by the weekend. this is after making a complaint to the ICO and also emailin Adrian Whalley numerous times. We will have to see if they finally arrive....

Hi,

Sounds promising! When did you complained to information commissioners office? Oh and who's this Adrian Whalley?
Are you going to go after compensation under the data protection act?

Reaver

Hi,

Well the statements finally arrived on Friday (23rd) going thriugh them this evening.

I am going to get my old m/card and b/card's statements, account closed in 2004, but there were plenty of charges on it.

Hi,

I used adrian.whalley@barclaycar d.co.uk, never got a reply, but seemed to get a result.

Hey all.

I've just posted my complaint to the information commissioner on the net. Bobsp did you wait for a reply to that before E-mailing Adrain Whalley,and who's he in Barclaycard.

Many thanks y all.

ReaVer

Should I/can I E-mail him anyway and see if I can get my statements?

ReaVer

I emailed him and complained to the ICO at the same time. I let him know I had complained to the ICO, and how dissapointed I was in having to go down thst route, but B/Card had left me with no alternative etc...

I also attached a copy of the SAR.

Bob

Cool, cheers bobsp.

I'll be e-mailing him later.Lets hope it gets me somewhere.

Whilst Im at it.I've just sent letters to Capital One and their DCA 'lowell'. think I'll be doing the same to barclaycard and caboot and stop paying off a dept I'm contesting. Also got see if they've been charging me interest...

Hey Bookie,

Is your Bcard claim still ongoing?

Hey Tanzarelli!?

Going to send the 'account in dispute' and 'CCA'(once I've looked at it) letters off to barclaycard and cabot.

Should a Dept Colection Agency charge interest on a bought dept? How can I find out(an SAR?)? What can I do about it??

Cheeeeeeeers
