  1. Thanks for the info.

     

    My account was a Barclays current acct with no overdraft facility.

    I had a cheque book which I never used and a debit card which I used.

    The charges an overdraft charge then a charge for using an unauthorised overdraft.

    Barclays allowed me to keep going deeper and deeper into debt without ever stopping my card.

    I could use my debit card at all times even though I had no money in my account and I was 100s of pounds in an unauthorised overdraft.

    eventually I close my account.

    I know its my own fault and I should not have kept using my card but at the time I was in financial dificulty and it was like free money.

  2. Hello

     

    I wrote a complaint letter to Barclays asking for a refund of my charges due to hardship and the fact i blamed them for irresponsible lending.

     

    Back around 2003/4 barclays allowed me to go overdrawn on my account ,it gad no overdraft facilities.

     

    I was charged £30 then £30 for being £30 overdrawn then so on and so on.

     

    However, whilst overdrawn even upto £500 barclays never declined or stopped me using my debit card, (I know j should have stopped but i was you stupid ans was suffering awful post natal depression)

     

    Barclays have replied to my letter saying they will not refund me,

    We do offer our customers tools to keep track of thier banking (not me)

     

    Your acct went overdrawn as you continued to make payments from your account, you knew about these charges as they were set out in our terms and conditions.

     

    Then goes on about section 5.1.4,treating customers in hardship fairly,

    however the court ruling on 25.11.09 confirmed bank charges are a part of the price of having a current account so are not unfair,

     

    We dont believe we have treated you unfair or caused you any hardship.

     

    Having reviewed your history

    I can see in 2007 you made a payment of £399 to haven holiday ,

    we would class this as a luxury

    ( my 8 year old sons 1st holiday! 4 nights in a caravan.

    .. paid for by his grandmother,hiw very luxurious. ...)

     

    As of this luxurious purchase you should have considered the financial impact as you continued to be overdrawn till oct 2011 when you clised your acct.

    I therefore conclude Barclays are not at fault.

     

    Please can someone help me,

    do I have a leg to stand on?

    Or shoukd i just accept this?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

    however they have posted this to me on 21/05 (still not rec letter)

    - they have told me over the phone that as the card dates back to 2004 they have no records so have based desision on an estimate.

    the offer is £273.24- dose this sound right or should i refuse?

     

    i dont have any evidence to support this and when i wrote to them for sar they told me they cant find any info.

    not sure what to do now?
