UPDATE Court Date 30/10/06 @ 10.30am 26/10/06 Thursday - Telephone Call from Barclays at 6pm at home , stating a letter was in the post offering full repayment including court costs, did I accept. I told them that when I had read the letter I would be in a position to answer. 27/10/06 Friday - Barclays faxed a copy of the letter to my works ( they are getting nervous). I read the letter and marked through the confidentially part, signed and faxed back. They called me to acknowledge receipt and stated that when I had cancelled the court date if I faxed a copy of the letter I gave to the court, they would release the money back to my account. GOOD NEWS - Money in my account by 6pm on Friday 27/10/06

I just left it blank If you have used the templates and submitted a breakdown of the charges they have all the information needed .

Getting a little bit nervous now. One week to go until my court date and still no contact from Barclays. Thought I would list my timetable in the hope that it may help others. Mar 06 - Sent 1st Letter requesting repayment of MY MONEY taken in charges. Apr 06 - Received Letter from Barclays saying they were disappointed I wasn't happy etc... Apr 06 - Sent LBA Apr 06 - Received Offer for £475 as 'a goodwill gesture' - Claiming £1500 May 06 - Politely declined offer and said I was disappointed with there response and allowed them 14 days to pay Full Amount. Jun 06 - Letter received saying sorry I didn't accept offer and they regret I feel I have to go to court. Jun 06 - Used Moneyclaim to procedd through the Small Claims Court. Jun 06 - Acknowledgement received and Barclays will defend the claim, signed by Keith Jeremiah. Jul 06 - Received Defense and Allocation Questionnaire and informed that case has moved to my local Magistrates Court. Jul 06 - Confirmation that case has been received by local court. Jul 06 - Barclays return Allocation Questionnaire at last moment. Aug 06 - Court Date set for 30th Oct 06 One week to go and heard nothing from Barclays, getting nervous. Is this normal? ( The lateness for Barclays to contact, not the nervousness)

Thanks I will do that. I will post what happens in the end

Hello everyone, I would like to start by saying how informative and helpful every one is, this is a scary time for anyone claiming THEIR money back but it is good to know that there are a lot of good people joining together against the banks. Anyway to my problem, I think I may have missed a part. I have been following the procedure for claiming back charges from Barclays and I have just received the Defence and Counterclaim Form with the Allocation Questonaire. It all seems normal and standard except for the 1st paragraph of the Defence which states, "The particulars of the claim do not provide details or particulars of the account in question and/or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful, or the date thereof. Notwithstanding the Claimants failure to correctly identify and particularise an account held with the Defendant, it is admitted that the Claimant has an acount, number XXXXXXXX, sort code XX-XX-XX. However, to the extent it is alleged that the Claimant incurred bank charges on his account for unauthorised borrowings (whether unpaid fees for returned cheques,paid referral fees, or any other such fees), the Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof." Does this suggest that I need to send the details of the particular charges? Do I need to do this before the Allocation Questionaire is sent to Worthing County Court (where the case has been moved to)? Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks I will send the next letter tomorrow

Hello All, On March 31st, Isent th standard letter requesting repayment of the bank charges that have been occured over the last 4 years. I received a letter back from BARCLAYS on the 6th from 'Retail Banking Customer Relations' saying that they were sorry that I had to contact them about the level of service. They are now looking into my concerns and will let me have an answer or update as quickly as possible ,but no later than 4th May. Do I wait to see what their response is?? Or do I press on with the 2nd letter detailing that I require a response within 14 days or I will proceed with Legal Action. Thanks in Advance
