It looks as if you have already given them enough time to respond constructively to your claim. I assume that your second letter was effectively the letter before action. All they have done so far is to procrastinate.

Time to issue court proceedings. Stick to the timetable you have set out in your letters

Good luck

Question Re: Grant Vs Woolwich

Did money claim online. claiming 1955.03 and 312 interest. Did i like this. hope it was right

1. The Claimant has an account L1*******
with the Defendant, opened july 2001. Since
20/02/01 the Defendant debited charges and
interest in respect of purported breaches
of contract. 3. Defendant is aware of all
details as a list of charges has already
been supplied. Another copy will be sent.
4. Claimant contends: (a) The charges
exceed the Defendant's losses caused by the
breaches; (b) The Term permitting the
Defendant to levy such charges is
unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in
Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, Unfair
Contract Terms Act 1977 and at Common Law.
5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the
amounts debited of £1955.03; (b) Interest
per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% -
£312.50 continuing at 8% until judgment or
settlement at a daily rate of £0.43; 6.
Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for
a service, then they must be reasonable
under S.15 of the Supply of Goods and
Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by the
Court.

How long before i hear, and what next

Just letme know when it comes and I'll take a look if you want or have any other queries!!

Stick in there

Basically any charges that you have incurred since you filed your court claim need to be added in to your total claim that you will accept as full and final settlement, when Barclays contact you with a settlement offer. This will probably be some 7 days prior to the hearing date.

This is probably the easiest way of dealing with this, as the alternative would be either to amend the court claim, which costs £35,and would delay the process, or start a new claim altogether.

Dont forget to add in the up to date interest figure, (this will have increased since you filed your claim), and the AQ fee, if applicable, and all the extra charges.

Good luck

If your going to phone him, tell him what extra charges you have and get him to confirm extra charges since and tell him to add it on, and thats what you will settle for... or get him to refund the charges and and go with your original claim amount
