Court date 22nd May. Received letter from Barclays on 16th May, oferring full amount + interest + court fees. totalling £2350. Replied by fax, crossed through confidentiality demand and followed up fax with email. Money in account on 17th May! FANTASTIC result and only down to help and support from CAG members. Thanks guys! Will now do survey, continue to search internet via CAG and make a donation of course. If this is not linked to my thread search mafflondon V barclays for my history.

Well done and congratulations. Been following your case with interest as have court date for May 22nd. Out of interest who did you speak to when settling the case today?

Anyone else? Have emailed Krysta Campbell, no response as yet. Letter to be sent tomorrow, recorded, then the phone call will begin...

Hi, My wife and I rent a flat but sadly we are considering splitting up. I need to know without informing landlord just yet if I can leave the tenancy without my wife having to sign a new agreement and inevitably paying an increased rent. We have two young children and we want the flat to be their settled home for the time being anyway. The tenancy is joint and we have signed a 2 year contract until end of April 2009 but have a 1 year break clause April 30th 2008. What rights do we have if any in this situation? Can the landlord / agent force a new contract on my wife? Or can my name simply be deleted from the contract? Thanks, Matthew

Well done, You seem to have had a smooth ride to victory. My court date is set for May 22nd so I am nearly there. Interesting to know that they email you. Should I send them a letter with my up to date contact details if they wish to say get in touch with me?

Hi, I only know about bank jargon when exceeding overdraft limits. Ages ago your statement would state "unauthorised O/D fee" or similar. However since about 2000-2001 "Paid Referral Fee" is what your looking for. Since 2000 the charges have increased from £20 to £25 to £30. Not sure what they are now as I have been a good boy for 8 months or so. Remeber you cant claim for account fees i.e. additions etc. Just claim for exceeding overdraft, unpaid direct debits, bounced cheques... Hope this helps

Court Bundle sent today, copy to Barclays Litigation & Disputes. Nearly there...

Court Bundle ready to be sent ahead of court hearing on 22nd May 2007. Just need clarification on a couple of things before I copy and post. Do I simply copy my last schudule of charges (the one that went to MCOL) or do I update it e.g. amend "days since offence" and therefore 8% interest will be increased as well? Also, I have noticed a mistake in my schedule with the date of charge ( I know I know, should have been more thorough). Should I change it now or just leave it as it is? The charge amount is correct. I stupidly entered 12/09/04 instead of 12/08/04. Urgent advise please?

Wandsworth County Court have set a date for a hearing for small claims track for 22.05.2007. I have downloaded the basic court bundle. With this, my bank statements and correspondence is there anything else I need to send? I am a bit confused by the court's request to send copies of "signed statements setting out the evidence of all witnesses..." Any advice would be welcome

Hi, My AQ was sent 04/01/07 to Wandsworth County Court by special delivery. Should I be worried that I have not heard anything yet?

Update... AQ sent ysterday by special delivery to local court. Nearly there... Approximately how long will I wait before next correspondence? Will this be request for court bundle?

Hi, Just read your thread. Congratulations!

Update... True to form MCOL inform me that Barclays have filed a defence. They did so on the 28th day after claim was served. Typical. So, I expect a letter tomorrow or Thursday with AQ? When do I need to do my court bundle? Will keep all posted.
