Hi Welshman Found what I was looking for within this site. You need to go to the section Allocation Questionnaire and hey presto it gives you everything. What to tick, ie. yes or no and what to put in the section I mentioned. Piece of cake. Mine was sent off recorded delivery today.......now we wait. Will keep you posted as and when....let me know how yours goes... Jen

I first sent The standard Penalty and unfair charges letter at the beginning of Sept. 06. I received a reply from Barclays offering £1000, their letter dated 25th Sept. 06. I replied on 4th October declining the £1000 and requesting a settlement of £3000. No reply. MCOL filled in and sent on line 3.11.06. My claim was issued on 6.11.06. Barclays issued a defence 20.11.06 last minute in other words. Received HMCS dated 7.12.06 with Barclays defence. Also attached was the Allocation questionnaire which has to be returned for filing by 26.12.06 latest. I have completed the form but am looking at threads to see if there is anything specific I should state in the 'other information' space which says 'in the space below, set out any other information you consider will help the judge to manage or clarify the claim, including any other information you consider should be supplied by the other party'. At the moment I have been unable to find anyone who has an answer to this so am going to search the library or if anyone else reading this can answer this for me. Trouble is I am running out of time and must post soon!!!! Hope this answers your questions. Good luck with yours.

Barclays will defend as they have me. I claimed originally for £3,600 and was offered the £1000 which I refused and wrote back saying I would accept £3000 to no avail. Done MCOL - Barclays defended just at the last moment. I have now got Allocation Questionairre to fill in and return to the court by 26th December latest date. I also have to pay another £100 because of amount of the claim - now around £5000 with the interest added. From what I have read re other Barclays customers getting as far as court is that they have paid up just before the court case. I am intending to go the whole hog to see what they do. I would quite like to actually get them to court to listen to their excuses for their exorbitant charges!!!! Will keep you posted as I seem to be in advance of your case. ScorpioJen
