Here I am 8 days into my letter before action period and I haven't been offered 50% of my claim. Is anyone else in the same position? I just know that if they decide to drag some poor unfortunate through the courts its gonna be ME!!! .... But I'm ready for them

LBA letter sent out today.

Acknowledgement letter arrived on Wednesday. Standard 'contact you within two weeks' guff. Complaints leaflet included. Will proceed with court claim on the 5th as per schedule. Hee Hee Hee Oh btw, Barclays letter was from Mike Brophy, Head of Customer Relations at the usual freepost addresss.

Just sent my preliminary letter away claiming £1624.82. Can't wait for them to offer 50% so I can tell them to shove it! Gonna start looking into reclaiming from Barclaycard now, although I've been good with them for a long time now, it may not be such rich pickings. Russ.

Woo hoo, went home at lunchtime and there were two large envelopes on the rug. Just started wading through them and disappointed te see that I was a good boy for a couple of years so my claim won't be for as much as I thought

On 10th March I handed in my DPA letter personally to a 'ghost banker' at my branch. Here's ten days later and I haven't even received an acknowledgement letter. Is this normal? I notice some people who've sent their letters off have received a letter of acknowledgement , normally within three days. Is it possible they may claim ignorance?

Oh I'm so looking forward to treating Barclays Bank with sensitivity and compassion when I demand my money back... NOT It's my chance to give them back some of the crap they've given me over the years. I may even hang up on them if they call to ask some awkward questions. Har de har! :twisted:

How long did it take from the time you asked them for your statements Blobalob?

As far as I know, the actual search with the credit reference company will show on your credit report.

FAQ code: 586rJKEE4 I have a Visa Electron debit card and for a very long time Barclays have allowed me to overdraw when I use it at cashpoints. I then got hit with three charges of £20 or £25 for being overdrawn (I didn't used to check my balance a lot!) I thought it was supposed to be impossible to go overdrawn with Visa Electron, (my Alliance and Leicester card will never let me overdraw, even by a few pence). Is Barclays pulling a [problem] on me?
