hi all. just a quick update sent SAR on 16th march yet to recieve a reply.
how long has it taken Barclays to reply to others requests?

mine didn't take long at all - maybe 10 days. For some reason, Barclays don't seem to charge the £10. Seems strange considering they'll take your money off you every other which way...

again mine came through in about 14 days so didnt have to wait long

good luck!

Hi,

Mine took 5 weeks, so you could be waiting a while yet!

I'd recommend you spend LOTS of time on this forum, to familiarise yourself with the procedures, the possibilities and the chance of success. Getting a bit of knowledge makes you feel SO much more confident.

Best of luck,

David.

hi thanks for info.
looks like i could be in for a bit of a wait then.
did anyone see channel 4 news last nite? the stats on people reclaiming has gone from 9000 in oct 06 to near 50000 in feb 07! wot a result we are having on the big boys.

I didnt see channel 4 news but did see bbc1 and itv all saying the same thing. it is good news, but it means things will take longer, until they decide to just settle.

If you sent the SAR on the 16th it means that you should only have 26 days left to wait, i would imagine it will take till the end of your time as they have so many requests now. A bit of a pain i know, maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and get it through soon

Good luck !!!!!!!

thanks for the replies folks.
here's hoping i'm 1 of the lucky ones n get em thro soon!
will keep u all updated on progress but in the meantime am doing alot of reading on the site n it all looks very promising for us all.

hi just a quick update.... still no response to my SAR....not even an acknowledgement!!!
so e-mailed with query as to my request and got reply stating 'sorry you have cause to complain and matter will be looked into'. didn't complain just query as to why i have had no response.
one week to go to 40 day deadline and counting1

Yep, you'll have to be prepared to be patient, Berez - Barclays seems to be the most stubborn of banks when it comes to reclaiming charges. I started my claim in October and told some of my friends with other banks about it a month or so later. They all received their money back ages ago, I'm still waiting for a court date and reckon there's another month or so to run before I get a sniff of my cash.

Stick it out though, they give in in the end!

hi all.
good news statements arrived in the post 2day . 2 days short of 40 day deadline! and just happen 2 be dated 18th april the day i e-mailed them 2 ask why they not replied to my request.
done a quick scan and would like 2 no if i can claim "unpaids out" as there are 3 on my statements and not sure what they are.

yes to claiming unpaids out

check the 'what can I claim' in the stickies

hi all
thanks 4 the info.
i have now filled in the spreadsheets from moneyexpert.com (they work out interest automatically) copy and pasted both with and without interest schedules.
so do i now send lba along with copy of schedule without interest?
soz but bit of a novice although read loads on this site still need a bit of reassurance....still scary!
