Yes, I sent my AQ back to the courts 4th December 06, then i received a letter from the courts 25th january to say my court date was for 26th march. barclays offered full settlement on the 28th February. I was desperate for my money to pay funeral expenses and i pleaded with barclays (im not ashamed to say). But they dont seem interested in settling unless you have a court date.

Hi sara-jane Firstly welcome and dont panic! Sit back and wait for the defence and Allocation Questionnaire(if they send one) You are at stage 7d of the http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31460-example-step-step-instructions.html take a look at them and familiarise yourself with the AQ just in case the judge requires it. You do NOT need a lawyer. claire

hi, I dont see that there would be a problem with this as it is just airing your views as to how the claim should progress in your absence. and as it says they would be pleased to consider your written views. Does anyone else have any views on this? claire

Hi EDMDetails http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/reports/financial_products/oft842a.pdf Claire

Hi Glad you got it sorted. best of luck with your claim. claire

hi Have you looked through this thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/scotland/ or you could do a search for scottish claims, there were people asking the questions as yourself but getting conflicting answers so i really wouldnt like to say 'yes or 'no to yours. its not much help, but something i suppose. claire

hi phil, Have a read of the step by step guide that i am posting for you. Barclays took about 2 weeks to write me a letter to say they were sending statements.http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31460-example-step-step-instructions.html Hope this helps you. claire

hi, you could enter this for section g, "I am respectfully requesting that my claim be allocated to the small claims track. This issue is not a complicated one; it is an issue of fact and not of law. The issue is only whether the money levied by the Defendant in respect of its customer’s contractual breaches exceed their actual costs incurred. I am happy to pay their actual costs and I am surprised the Defendant did not counterclaim for these, because I would have reduced my claim without argument. However, the continuing problem is (in common with the hundreds of other cases currently being brought by other bank customers) that the banks refuse to reveal the details of their penalty-charging regime. As the banks have a fiduciary duty towards their customers, they have a duty to deal straightforwardly and in utmost good faith. Accordingly, I would respectfully ask that the court in this case, not withstanding allocation to the small claims track, order : i) Summary Judgement as the Defendants defence did not answer the particulars of claim and consisted of no grounds for defence; OR ii) Standard Disclosure. I believe this would bring a rapid end to this litigation." hope this helps. claire

We have all been there before so dont worry about a thing, just have a good read around other threads and you will get the hang of it. Any help needed just yell, we are all very friendly. claire

hi kezz, i took 10 days for me to receive a reply from barclays and 3 weeks to receive my statements that was back in september last year, i would hold on a bit longer as they have 40 calendar days to respond to your request. this is a good link to keep hold of http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31460-example-step-step-instructions.html hope this helps claire

You are very much right johnnymitch and i had jumped ahead of myself there, you do not add the 8% at this stage thankyou for pointing that out to me, i am also very much past that stage as i have a settled claim with barclays(im wondering how now). Sorry for the duff advice there JackG. regards claire:o

hi as you have filed a claim with mcol it may also be worthwhile to attach a more detailed POC as you had limited space on mcol for it. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/681-4-particulars-claim-n1.html hope its not too late for this info. good luck. claire

yes carry on and add them to the schedule of charges. you can add on charges up to the date that you file at court. any charges that you would want to add on after filing would incur a court charges of £35 for ammendment. hope this helps. claire Congrats by the way!!

hi, probably a stupid question but have u done a schedule of charges with days since offence and 8% interest? It is my belief that some peoples interest may seem higher than yours as their days since offence go back further.(someone correct me if im wrong there) let me know if you need any help to go through it all. claire
