I have followed the correct precedure to claim back my bank charges and got the standard responce letters that most people are getting and so it went further......
My claim against barclays was issued on the 7th November 2006 deemed to be severed on the 15th and Acknowledgement was filed by Barclays on the 23rd Novemebr (they have untill 4pm tomorrow to entre their defence)
So why did I receive two identical letters from the same person saying the same thing yesterday, think they have got their nickers in a twist!! should I ring them play ignorant asking them what exactly do they mean by these letters at such a late stage? or wait untill tomorrow to see if they have got confused and they miss out on their deadline ?? any suggestions ??
The letters read:
