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.
Have filed claim last friday at my local court against Barclays (woolwich openplan account) for £1450 plus £350 interest they have until 2nd june to respond to the court or to file a defence. Can anyone tell me what is likely to happen next as the court clerk didnt really help me very much ?
I also filed against Barclays at my local court last Friday so I will be following your progress with 'vested' interest. I was rather amused to have a letter through from them yesterday - whilst I closed my current account, I foirgot about my savings account which has a princely sum of £9 something.
Now that Barclays have taken over our Woolwich accounts, for the first time ever, I have received ... a cashcard for my saving account!
Glad to hear you're also filing a claim it will be interesting to see how we both progress !!! It is ironic about your cashcard, also ironic though somewhat scary that these are the organisations we trust with our money and often financial advice !!
hello there,
we are just behind you both still in the 14 days lba part which runns out on 15th june but have a feeling it's going to go to court as we are claiming £8485.00. so will be watching your case for ideas and encouragement!!!
Good luck and GO GET THEM

Posts from those further along the line seem to suggest that Barclays are one of the slower, pulling teeth banks in respect of the claims process.
I personally think they put out the standard responses and automatically defend most claims when their admin gets bogged down and the sweep them through 'en masse'.
Hi today I have received the acknowledgment of service from yeovil court, i phoned the court and they've said that Barclays wiil defend and its now up to a district judge to decide whether or not there will be a hearing. Does anyone know how likely it will be that the judge will opt for a hearing ??
