See my new post about Barclays settling depiste court action, there is a loophole to expose if you are quick

I think this may only apply to ex Woolwich customers but I have had a bit of luck in getting paid despite taking Barclays to court. I received an offer that I didn't think was enough so I took court action, my case has been stayed and therefore because I had rejected their offer and gone for the court route my offer had been withdrawn. However it seems that the people handling the ex Woolwich peoples offers are not being updated by the Barclays litigation team with regards who has taken court action, so as far as they are concerned they are still honouring offers if you apply. Despite the court action I decided not to wait and risk getting a lower amount so accepted the original offer and the funds were credited into my account within 2 days. I still have the court action pending which I guess at some point Barclays will realise that I have already been paid but at this stage I'm going to jut sit on it and see if Barclays spot their mistake. I guess if you want to still be paid something rather than wait for the OFT hearing you should apply whilst this loophole is still open.

With regards the 2 month deadline they have revised the date to be from the date of this new letter, so the clock has been reset. I guess it now comes down to whether I can get a court hearing before the 2 months run out. Do you feel I can play one off against the other, i.e go for court option, if that fails take the offer. Will I be seen as comprimising the offer If I pursue it in this way especially if it is stayed.

Has anyone had a case heard at Eastbourne CC ? If so what was the outcome ? I have a case pending and wanted to know if they were applying the general "stay" policy or hearing caes on merit.

A couple of months back I had a "goodwill" offer from Barclays of £2300 v a claim of £3600. I didn't feel this was enough so went down the court route, obvioulsy I'm now caught up the OFT ruling delay. However I have contacted my local court who have advised that they are still going to hear cases which were allocated to them prior to the OFT ruling. Today I received a letter from Barclays advising that all cases were now being put on hold but they were still prepared to honour the original goodwill offer if I withdraaw my claim. What I wanted to ask is : 1. Do you think there is a chance cases will still be heard in court if they are in the pipeline or will a stay application be successful ? 2. Do you think I am better to take something now rather than wait and risk getting nothing ? Thoughts would be appreciated

Yes I sent letter refusing the offer and then went down the court route. Whilst they will almost certainly apply for a stayed appliation on the CCJ surely they must thisnk it is better to pay out a lower amount just to close off another case or m I being too naive. Anyone have any thoughts on an approach by phone or am i compromising my court case

I received an offer from Barclays that I thought was too low and therefore went down the route of taking court action. Obviously in light of the events since Friday my case is likely to be shelved, until the test case hearing, currently it has been referred to my local court but with no date. My question is can I return to the original offer made by Barclays and attempt to now accept it or I have my missed this opportunity because I have pursued the court route ? I would appreciate any thoughts and comments. I need to make a judgement as to whether what i thought at first was a low offer might now be my only choice, if indeed I still have a choice.
