New to site and starting claim against Barclays

[brittone05]

Hi all

 

I have had a good read through the FAQ's and a lot of the Barclays section of the site this morning :)

 

My husband and I run our businaess through Barclays and as a result of their charges and charges for charges etc we are now faced with extensive money problems which for some time we have seen no way out of.

 

I have now discovered some light at the end of the tunnel via this forum and the advice here so a big thank you to those who obviously work so hard to help others :)

 

Our accountant has got all of the barclays statements ready for me - we have only been with them for 2 years.

 

I am going to send a prelim letter on Tuesday after I collect the relevant figures form the accountant.

 

Wish me luck

Thank you Miss P :)

 

I can't really move until Tuesday of next week when we will receive our figures from our accountant for the last 2 years of Barclays which is the date we joined them but I would easily estimate that they have had a good few thousand in charges so far!!

 

Also have to have dealings with Natwest bank even though we left them when we joined Barclays.

 

The only problem Ihave is that I may face a wall when I try to get info from them as we closed the account - do they legally have to keep a full record of our statement information for a certian period of time?

 

Here's to success

Depends how long ago it was - they have to keep info for 6 years - any longer than that then you may come a cropper.

 

As long as you follow the step by step and be patient you will get all your money back! Its exciting isnt it!

We had the account with them 2 years ago - just before we switched to Barclays.

 

I am very nervous about it all - my husband has nearly lost his business over Barclays kicking us at every oppurtunity time to kick back I reckon :)

 

I am going to chase the NAtwest up though and see what happens. Hopefully my husband can regian a bit of cash from the bank after they have crippled him financially lol

Only 2 years - so def able to request statements! Read all the FAQs and as many threads as you can, I would start the ball rolling with natwest to get your info as soon as as you can as they can take up to 40 days to provide you with the information you require.

Dont be worried, the more you read about other peoples experiences the more confident you will feel!

Good luck!
