Paul v Barclays **WON**

[richard gibson]

Sorry to butt in on this thread,but the answer to my question will be of interest to PKea i'm sure...

I have filed my claim with MCOL,barclays have yet to file thier defence,but they have sent me the goodwill gesture letter......

Since filing my claim,barclays have sent me another paid referral,do i still keep adding these charge to my claim,or is it too late?

[Welshman]

Now that you've filed at Court, if you want to add to your claim, it's now going to cost you £35 a time and it's likely to delay your claim.

[richard gibson]

Thank you Welshman,looks like i'll just have to bite the bullet on that one then,cheers

[PKea]

Back Again

Abbey have settled so its back to Barclays.

Ive sent another LBA to them, and i'm going to get all my courts docs ready to send off stright away.

[PKea]

Barclays have till the 14th March to respond to the court docs.

So ile just wait for their defence now

[PKea]

Quick update:

Barclays are going to defund (as expected)

So just waiting for their defence to arrive, which should be anytime now.

 

Does anyone know if any of the footage in Whistleblower can be used?

Love to add the transcript of the guy saying its cost about £1.50 a charge. Do we know his name?

[PKea]

Defence arrived from court this morning.

seems to be Barclays standard issue

got AQ to fill out again by 10th April

Re Using the Whistleblower information.

 

I wouldnt bother going to the trouble of getting a copy on DVD.

a) The Judge prob wont have a player set up.

b) Has probably already seen the footage.

c) You will more than likely not enter the court room anyway.

 

what you could do is copy and paste some of the documented report from here and put it in your bundle..

[PKea]

Ok, having read another thread, I'm going to give Barclays Solicitor a call this morning and see if they want to settle before i submit my AQ,

Their solicitor is 'Rosemary Treves Brown' but i believe that its just here name on the docs and that one of her minions actually deals with the case.

Anyway I will let you know if I get anywhere..

[PKea]

I spoke to the bank, and their position is that they are settling claims that are due in court within the next two weeks.

He advised me to send in my AQ and the Draft directions and if they are ordered they will get in touch.

 

Oh well it was worth a try.

[PKea]

I thought I would send Ms Treves Brown a fax just to confirm my telephone number change as well as give them a chance to settle. I would like to give them the option to avoid paying my charges, because i know what its like to keep getting charged..lol.

Re: Mr PKea v BARCLAYS Bank Plc Case: xxxxxxxxx

Dear Ms Treves Brown

 

With regard to the above case, I enclose a copy of my Allocation Questionnaire, which includes a request for directions, enclosed, to be ordered requesting full disclosure within 14 days. I will be submitting these documents on Saturday 31st March 2007

I will be submitting this early as I will be away till after Easter. I can no longer be contacted on 0161 123 4567, therefore any communication from yourselves must be in writing to the above address. It may be possible to contact me on my mobile, 07805 123456, at certain times.

At present the claim stands at £2545.80 which includes the initial claim (plus interest) the court fees and daily interest which is accruing at 53p per day till settlement. After Saturday 31st March 2007, it will also include the £100 Allocation Fee as well as daily interest running to the court date.

If you wish to contact me to arrange a settlement prior to my Allocation Questionnaire submission, please contact me on 07805 123456.

 

Yours Faithfully

 

 

Mr PKea

[dar£n]

PK,

 

 

This approach has worked for a few but it wouldnt hold my breath if i were you.

ive got court on apr 13th and barcl STILL wont talk..

 

Grrrr

 

good luck

[PKea]

I know it will probably not work, but I also want to let them know that they cant phone me at home (BT have suspended calls, but thats another story) and that they wont be able to phone me at the last minute to settle. Which probably means another trip to court, with the bank not showing (Like i did with Abbey)

[PKea]

I have also decide to add a little bit to my letter as follows:

 

I spoke earlier today to one of your colleagues regarding the above, who told me to ‘just send it in and we will pay the £100 AQ fee back to you when we settle. We are only settling cases that are due in court within the next two weeks’. I am therefore giving you another chance to settle before additional costs are added to the claim and more of the court systems time is wasted, as it was infered by your colleague that you will settle before the court date. As I am a member of the Consumer Action Group, I do not know of any cases that you have actually been to court to defend.

I will be including this letter in my evidence to show that I have tried to communicate to negotiate an early settelement, and to show the judge that I believe the way you are handling these cases to be ‘An abuse of the court system process’

I like this bit and used it in my letter that i am writing now!!!

[PKea]

Oh Well, Barlcays didn't want to settle pre AQ so its off to the court today to hand in my AQ along with my request for draft directions to be ordered.

Lets wait and see if the Judge will issue them to Barclays.

 

[a2222]

looking forward to what comes back from em - Im just waiting for their defence so am a couple of weeks behind you claiming pretty much the same amount (£2.6k) from Barclays! Am gonna try these new directions once I get my AQ from the court. (Just not 100% sure I've still got all the statements still!)

[PKea]

Well

The Judge didnt order the draft directions, just the usual 'all your evidence 14 days before the hearing (29th June).

 

The court has allocated 2 blocks of hearings for that day, and it says my case is one of many to be heard.

So it looks like maybe my court knows that the Banks dont turn up so they have given the same time to many people.

 

Oh well, Ile give Barclays a call in a couple of weeks to see if they want to settle, ha ha, although it will be at the bundle submittance when they will probably settle

[dar£n]

This is good news for us...Bad news for Barclays..

 

Barclays, when you read this, cos I know you will LOL

 

I seriously think your management should consider DOUBLING the staff in your Litigation Department cos this means that now NUMEROUS people are going to be given the same date of hearing which in turn means, as you are settling about a week before the date you are going to be even more swamped with phone calls, emails etc for settlement.

 

Are you going to be able to handle this demand AND get cleared funds into their accounts before the deadline....ermmmmmmmmm interesting!!!!!!!

[chorlton1]

PK - I wouldnt be shy about calling Barclays now - you have a court date next month and I am sure you told me you had a holiday coming up in early June so if that is still on it will be awfully difficult for them to get in touch with you...............

[PKea]

Hi Chorlton

 

I'm going to give them a call in the next day or so

 

I'm just working out all my costs as well, as i will be asking them to pay them as well, and if not i will ask the courts for them.

 

I am also going to see if they are willing to pay the charges they have issued since the claim started.

 

Paul

[PKea]

Ok

 

I am going to give Barclays a call and see if they want to settle before i send in my bundle

 

I have the Following contact details, just wondered who is the best to contact or should i just ask for the person dealing with my case>

 

Krysta Campbell 0207 116 4753

A Lombardi 0207 116 5634

Charlie Spalding 0207 116 1944

 

Any thoughts

 

Paul

[chorlton1]

Would call the person dealing with your case - they will transfer you if not but that may just delay things (they arent that good at ringing back!)

[chorlton1]

and I think its Charlie Sparling not Spalding - he was my contact

[PKea]

Would call the person dealing with your case - they will transfer you if not but that may just delay things (they arent that good at ringing back!)[/quote]

 

 

Ive learn that one, They should change the message on their answerphone to

'Sorry we dont want to take your call and if you leave your details we still wont call you back'

 

lol

 

I have also worked out my costs to date, but i think i will just ask to court for that rather then complicate things for Barclays. I'm going to ask them to pay my charges to date since the claim as well, its worth a try

 

Paul
