a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
been trying to reclaim my charges back from Barclays now for a little while now. i sent off the letters as advised and heard nothing so put in a claim through mcol. In this period i had a partial offer from barclays abOUT 50% i think. As i had already paid court fees i at least wanted it sorted thorugh the court to get these back. So on the day before i could pass a judgement against them guess what they defended. I got a letter from the court saying my case was being transfered to my local court in cambridge which from reading on the website this seems to be something that normally needs to be requested later on? i didnt receive an allocation questionnaire but got the standard barclays response. so what do i do now? wait for the court to get back to me? i have seen templates on here that are very detailed do i need to send a letter to the court and attach my spreadsheet of charges to try and speed things up or as i have read on here the courts are fed up with the banks and basically just asking for a Breakdown of the charges and not allowing the bank to defend as they never turn up. Any help much appreciated
Okay, you need to send a copy of your SOC's including interest at 8% plus costs to both the court and B's.
A court cant really stop B's defending, they are just getting used to the fact the aint gonna show, so things like aq's are getting skipped to speed things up.
yer i read that was the case. thanks for that i will send them of. Do you think i should send of a detailed letter with the schedule like the ones this website basically going into more detail than on the mcol claim? or does this not really matter as the courts know whats going on?
Hi all got a court date through as i have read alot of you have. What is the next step i have read that writing/ ringin Barclays and trying to settle works at this point? any help will be appreciated
Barclays wont communicate regarding settling at this stage, they are too busy with cases coming up in the next two weeks.
Between 10 and 14 days is the time to give them a nudge.
Now you have to concentrate on your court bundles.
2.) None of the paper work i have had from the court make refernce to the allocation questionnaire or court bundles i hear everyone on about. Do i need to do these? If so any help would be appreciated.
I have tried emailing and ringin this Krysta but she hasnt repsonded (very busy i can appreciate)
Hi all got 3 claims all going on at same time 2 v Barclays 1 v HSBC. All 3 now have a court date of 13 july its says on the letter pre trial review. This seems different to what everyone else is getting ie aq's etc any1 got any ideas
Call their bluff. When that date gets a little nearer, contact Barclays, tell them you have a court date [DO NOT TELL THEM ITS PRE TRIAL], they will assume theyve missed it in the mayhem, they will want to settle.
ok from what i have read evrone is at cambridge court on the 13th July although some people have already settled. Are there letters on here that i should use to try and speed this process up.
As your hearing is not until July, I would be very surprised if B's even acknowledged your efforts to negotiate a settlement.
You will just get fobbed off with 'we're too busy handling the imminent cases, call us back'
thinking about it these pre trial reviews sound bad news as surely they are just delaying things even longer. I mean i have had this date since march and its only pre trial so surely that means Barclays would not be forced to pay up until the case actually came to trial?
any sort of trial would be a major headache for the banks, so they will not attend, phone or anything to do with the court, they will setlle, even tho its only a pre trial. as it could still be very damaging for them.
Cheers amanda always good to get some re assurance. i have no fear that i will get the money as with everyone its just the timescale, it seems to have dragged on forever. I have written to the solicitors again with a Breakdown to see if it may prompt some action
not sure if anyone else has had this but Barclays are now calling the £30 charges commission. how does this affect us claiming these back. i had one the other day that was still shown as charge and this was refunded the same day
Its like Katie Price being called Jordan...She is still Katie Price at the end of the day.
Let then call them what they like, they still cant justify the charge.
