tiggycat 23 - Sorry, that should read 'I sent the email that appears in my post from19 July.'

(Can't work out how to put 'quotes'!) Hi foxyred - I used the on-line interest calculator to work out my interest. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/chargeinterest.php Hi adam1v - It was all settled out of court. Hi tiggycat23 - I stopped sending letters and didn't make any phone calls it was all sorted via email in the end - quite painless in fact! Once I received my court date I sent the letter that appears in my post from 29 July. Then with 2 weeks to go before the date I emailed again advising that I needed to book time off work and that the loss of wages would be added to my costs as well - a quick reply followed. Good luck to everyone else and three cheers to Dave without whose help none of us would be here.

I sent him an email yesterday afternoon and received a reply this morning. My reason for contacting him was for the same as barry1. I had been informed by Nick Hartigan that Keith Jeremiah was on holiday, it was he who then took over my enquiries. However, after not needing to contact Mr Hartigan for a while I attempted to yesterday - I received a non-reply email saying he was no longer with Barclays. I then emailed Keith Jeremiah again and my dispute is now resolved.

I've feeling very happy. Thank you for asking.

Case closed! But I'm not allowed to say in whose favour.....!

Barclays must really value the £200 I am attempting to reclaim. After receiving a date for my hearing (17 August) I contacted Nick Hartigan (who appears to have taken over my case from Keith Jeremiah), to see if they were willing to settle out of court. The reply I received was: 'In summary, in the interests of expediency, the bank is prepared to consider a settlement. However, I shall have to seek authority to settle the claim at 100%. If you were prepared to accept a lower amount of 75% (plus your statement reprint and court costs) then that would speed matters up significantly.' I replied, that I would only consider full repayment, plus costs, and that if I didn't hear anything in the following few days I would commence preparing the documents and necessary evidence for my case, and that if in doing so more costs were incurred these would also be added to the overall amount. I did not receive any reply, so rather reluctantly I began printing off various statements, OFT reports, etc. making sure they were received by Barclays and the Court for the date specified. So added to their bill is another £3.40 for photocopying and £9.00 for special next day delivery to two addresses - I'm only reclaiming £200!

I've just re-read the questionnaire and section G Other Information states: 'In the space below, set out any other information you consider will help the judge to manage or clarify the claim, including any other information you consider should be supplied by the other party' In the notes relating to this section it adds: 'Give details of any other information that you consider will help the judge to manage the claim, referring as necessary to any documents you have attached. Bear in mind however that at this stage you need not attach all other documents which you wish the court to consider at the hearing. This is something you will later be asked to provide.' As this information is directed to the judge rather than the Court, it seems it is referring to things specific to the claim.

Thanks guys, your help, advice and support is much appreciated. Of course there will be a donation in due course (from recovered funds or otherwise). Roll on the next stage......!

I have now received a questionnaire from the Court. I'm not sure whether to put yes or no to question E: "Experts - Do you want permission to use an expert's report at the hearing?" Well if it does get to Court I will be referring to past legal cases and financial expert recommendations. So is that a yes? The other question I'm unsure whether to include at this stage is G 'Other Information': "Give details of any other information that you consider will help the judge to manage the claim, referring as necessary to any documents you have attached." Is it worth attaching any documentation at this point: ie, OFT's recommendations, copies of my statements. Any suggestions please?

My claim will be lying somewhere in Keith's claim filled office - add me to his list.

Yes. I received from the Court a copy of the Acknowledgement of Service which a representative from Barclays' Litigation and Disputes Department had completed. The box: ' I intend to defend all of this claim' had been ticked. Reading some of the other posts, it looks like it's a waiting game for a while now?

I am seeking to claim back from Barclays £200 in referral fee charges. I followed the procedures of intended action letters, etc. before filing a claim on the Money Claim site on 19 April. I then received from Money Claim Online an acknowledgement notice regarding the claim saying it had been filed on 27 April and that Barclays would have 28 days in which to file a defence. Barclays responded by offering £100 repayment, I replied stating: ' Thank you for your letter of 27 April. I will only accept the full amount of £200 plus the £30 costs incurred.' Their reply arrived today it reads: ' Thank you for your letter 2 May. I am sorry you remain unhappy with our response to your complaint and note that whilst you are accepting the amount offered, that is £100, you will be seeking the remaining balance in the County Court. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the amount offered was in full and final settlement of your claim. I am therefore unwilling to adhere to your request to re-imburse you with the amount offered, and it is with regret that you will now be proceeding to the County Court for the full amount. I appreciate this is not the response you have been hoping for, but trust I have clarified the Bank's position.' What is likely to happen now - do I just wait to hear from the Court?
