Claim, The Woolwich

[nodoff]

HiThis is my first time.I have written to The Woolwich claiming back charges for the past six years totalling £6652.00.The Woolwich have responded by offering me a without predjudice offer of £1000.00.I have replied to them informing them that this offer was unacceptable.They replied that the offer would not be increased, so I responded with the threat of court action.The Woolwich have invited me to take them to court if I do not want to accept their offer.My claim does not include interest.Can anyone advise me, because my claim is for more than £5000.00 it is too large for the small claims court. How should I tackle this?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks Nodoff
I note that all my replys from The Woolwich now come from Barclays.So who do I claim my charges back from in court?

Over £5000 is fast track, but is nothing to be feared. Yes, you would be liable to up to £750 costs if you lost, but there is Standard Disclosure, which mean the bank would have to produce a breakdown of their costs, something they refuse to do, so tend to settle faster.

Claim from Barclays Bank Plc T/A Woolwich.

Don't worry I am chasing them for £11k so you are not alone I the big stakes.

They only offered me £1k as well which I laughed at. I filed my N1 last week so I am just waiting.

Good luck and let me know how you get on!

OK, so today I have received their defence and my AQ.

I have downloaded the site info, and I am ready to go.

Has anyone any further idea's to add to this.

eg wording to use to refer my judge to the directions hearing last week or any other cases that the judges have taken their own lineas in KAZZAW's nice little direction from her judge?

All contributions greatly received.

Barclays t/a The Woolwich have now entered a defence and I have returned to the court my questionaire. This had to be returned by the 30th March 07.
Just waiting for a court hearing date or contact from Woolwich.

care to tell us what that defence was?

[nodoff]

The Woolwich are stating that it is in my account terms and conditions that these charges would be applied and therefore they believe that the charges are legitimate.
An interesting point is that in 1999 The Woolwich charged £5.00 to bounce cheques and direct debits and that jumped overnight to £27.00.

was that all their defence?

That wouldnt be enough to strike out a claim
