Hi All Just got my hearing date for 19 April at 12.00 (for 5 mins!) Anybody else going because the lady at the courts said that there were a "few" of us grouped together. Just getting my bundle together.... Post here and we'll meet up for a coffee before!

HI I am a bit further down the road but if you follow the template letters and instructions on this site it will guide you through step by step. Ignore their holding letters and stick to your timescales - you're calling the shots not them! I now have my court date so just need to rattle their cage a little bit more then I'm there!! Hope that helps a bit Mittenz

Hi All Things moved on again - I now have my court date for 19 April with a whole load of others! I get maximum 5 minutes! The court just wants a witness statement so not sure what that entails so am going to try to find out on here - any comments anybody?? Nearly there and would love this to go to court as I have been rehersing what I would say!!! Any comments on the witness statement which I want to email in in the next few days. Cheers Mittenz

Hi Olly Read your thread last night - will keep this one updated and as you say it will be interesting to see if it makes the slightest bit of difference! Interesting to know what other people are putting - any comments anyone? Cheers

Tanz After all that blurb I forgot to say a huge thank you - hopefully it will help some others but it would be good if the library could be updated! Cheers

Thanks everybody for your input! I decided on the old version and tweaked it a bit but doesnt seem (reading the threads) that it makes a huge amount of difference as Barclays will just protract everything and take as long as poss. I think now I wait for their AQ which will obviously be sent in at the last possible moment then the courts will set a date or throw it out. Anybody know what Bristol County Courts are like??? Coyotesj and olly83 - let me know what happens? Did anybody see Watchdog last night and apparently there is a prog on ITV1 on Friday - moneysavingexpert.com who is looking at it all. Cheers

Hi Can anybody help me - just filling in my AQ and wondering what info to put in Section G. Shall I use the "new" AQ info or the "old" AQ info or leave it blank? My claim is for £3000 and I am planning to attach my schedule with the additional 8%. Help please? Thanks

Hi I just put the One Churchill Place, London, E14 5HP Hope helps Mittenz

Hi All Barclays replied on 25th (Friday) so I guess now that I wait for my AQ? Is that correct? I don't quite understand the process next - can someone correct me here if I am wrong? Now wait for AQ and Prepare Court Bundle Data Protection Act sent 4 November 2006 Statements received 20th November 2006 Preliminary letter sent 21 November 2006 Standard acknowledgement of complaint reply received 28 November 2006 LBA sent 14 December 2006 Offer Received 20 December 2006 Offer declined 27 December 2006 Filed for Court via MCOL 9 January 2007 Notice of Issue served on 14 January 2007 Claim acknowledged on 25 January 2007 Questions: Is the Notice of Issue the same as Acknowledgement? Preparing the court bundle is all the above - yes? Just seen New strategy for AQ's - should I follow this?? I will read through the FAQs etc again slowly to make sure but there are so many bits and pieces to get together!!! Guess I am just a little nervous that I want to get it right - bit of a control organisational freak!!! Anybody's comments would be really helpful Mittenz

Thank you both for your support - I'll post something as soon as I have some details. Good luck to you all and here's to fighting back!

Hi All those interested I thought I'd best start a thread as I am starting to get near the court bit! Just for background info here's what's happened so far... Claiming £2435 SAR 2 November 2006 Statements sent back 16 November 2006 Refund of charges request 21 November 2006 Sorry you had to complain letter from Bs 28 November 2006 LBA sent 14 December 2006 Here have a £1000 as a gesture letter from Bs 20 December 2006 Response to settlement letter 27 December 2006 MCOL 9 January 2007 Notice of Issue deemed served on 14 January 2007 So... I wait.... Am I right in thinking I should be starting to put together the court bundle and getting ready to fill in the AQ? Any pointers at this stage would be handy. Not nervous just excited and apprehensive!! Well done to all those who have obviously spent a huge amount of time putting this website together and WELL DONE to all those who are taking the time to help stop the banks ripping us off! Cheers Mittenz
