Me V Barclays.

[DJHSutherland]

Okay Filed A Claim which they have acknowledged and wish to defend. I knew these buggers would be difficult.

 

They did originally offer me half, and Ive kept that letter even tho they deny it's unfair.

 

Has anyone had any success stories with Barclays, coz Ive not seen any??

 

I am waiting now 28 days for the defence.

 

Has anyone got passed this stage yet.

 

I will be back with my success story or with what to do next.

 

Cheers all and Good Luck

[DJHSutherland]

Well reading deeper on this forum looks like they are just going to be a pain. Im gonna go all the way tho and see what happens.

 

Hopefully I'll get the money just when I need it.

 

Just so everyone knows.

 

I basically sent a letter from the forum along with dates and amounts of charges.

Then another letter more or less the same stating that they didn't reply in time so this is thier last chance attached same list as above.

 

Filed a claim online.

Recieved the acknowledment of service which I really wasn't happy about

 

Now I am waiting for either a nice refund by 02/11/2006 or a defence the day before is what the usual practice seems to be.

 

Just wish I could send the heavies around and break some legs...

 

Anyway. I will keep you all updated and it you have any info for me please let me know.

Got ACK Of Service Letter thru today.

 

It's dated the 3rd Oct. Is it 28 days from this date, so I know when to mark the deadline inc weekends..

[Welshman]

Do I assume that you have filed at MCOL and it's an acknowledgement after filing?

[chesterb]

Nah, they have an extra 14 days now, 28 in total to file a defence, its a delay tactic! I assume mr Adrian ruffhead signed yours too?

[Welshman]

Hi DJH, just seen your post in another thread and now can answer thoroughly.

 

If you used MCOL, then add five days on to the date filed, that is the deemed date of service and that's where the time starts ticking. 14 days from then is the deadline for them to acknowledge. Now that they have acknowledged your claim, this buys them the whole 28 days starting from the deemed served day. So, from the day you file, it's 33 days.

 

 

Hope this clarifies it for you.

[DJHSutherland]

A Fellow Welshman.

 

Well Cheers all for that.

 

Barclays are just the worst of the lot. Im gonna get them tho.

 

I'll wait. It's just ridiculous that they have decided to follow this procedure. They have billions in the bank and they are just greedy for more.

 

I dunno...

 

Anyway

 

Yip.. It Was The Same Guy. I'll Have Him...

[DJHSutherland]

Not that I mind going to court at all

 

But.

 

With Barclays has anyone actually had to go to court to defend themselves or have they paid up or backed down before that.

 

I know we all have to go thru the same laborious defence and waiting game but not heard much after that..

 

They don't make it easy do they, but it's all fun...

[DJHSutherland]

I am now waiting for the standard Barclays defence on 1 claim...

 

Can I Issue a 2nd possible even a 3rd Claim.. Should have done it in the 1st place I know.

 

1. I didn't claim interest, so just waondering if I can raise another claim to gather these costs upto the date that I actually get (if I do) my money.

 

 

2. I asked for the last six years but I think they just give me four. So I am thinking, now I am on roll and after the way they handle all this of making a further claim for the missing 2 yrs.

 

Im with the rest of you and they can no longer be allowed to get away with this.

 

These bank charges in the past have left me in financial dire straights, always catching up each month.

 

NO MORE..

 

[victimnomore]

You CAN'T lose.

 

Yes, Barclays will be awkward and difficult and will try to delay things at every stage possible. But unless YOU choose to give in (either to their hollow intimidations, or to accept one of their derisory settlement offers), you will get your money.

 

I'm surprised you haven't seen any success stories yet - there are plenty on the forum, and in the "Bank Charges Survey Results" (at the top of the page).

 

Barclays can't win because they never go into a court hearing.

[victimnomore]

You seem to be starting a new thread with almost every post you make. That means it's VERY difficult to follow your story.

 

May I suggest you send a PM to a mod to request them to combine your threads?

[Bookworm]

No need to pm a mod, I've done it. 4 threads merged.

[DJHSutherland]

What if when they offer final settlement I still decide to go to court??

 

I know they can just not turn up but do they get something issued agains them like we the public do CCJ's e.t.c

 

I am apalled by thier behaviour and want some additional justice even tho my claim is not that large..

[victimnomore]

If they offer the full amount of your claim unconditionally, then you MUST accept it. And once you have accepted it you CANNOT go to court.

[DJHSutherland]

Okay.

 

As expected they have now filed a defence. Can't remember if it was on the deadling or a few days before. I just forgot about it coz I knew this was coming.

 

So for others the standard barclays procedure is:

 

Send the letter with list of charges / dates.

Get half of what you are owed offer from barclays.

Send another letter for the full amount with list of charges / dates.

File a claim on MCOL.

Wait for about 2 weeks.

Get an acknowledgment from Barclays.

Wait again the full duration since time claim was served.

Day before or around about they file a defence.

 

Next step I think is filling out a few forms and from what I have heard and hope they pay up or better had otherwise I be off to court melawd.

[DJHSutherland]

Court Date Given for Feb 20th

 

Does anyone know what the standard procedure is here. Do they go to court normally. Do they, pay up before court. Do they fail to turn up e.t.c Do they just pay money into the account.

 

I am sending the documents back that I need by 5-10th of Jan 2007

 

If anyone knows what the usual turn of events is Id appreciate it.

 

Thanks

[dickeggsy]

if you have a court date you could try ringing them to ask for a settlement.

the number is 020 7116 4532 and you need to speak to rebecca connely or anthony lombardy.they may decide to settle or wait till nearer the court date but it's worth a try ,what have you got to lose.

you will get your money eventually.

see welshmans brilliant thread to find out more.

[DJHSutherland]

Cheers

 

Gonna call the below in the NY and see how it goes. Will post back here to update then.

 

020 7116 4523 or 020 7116 4532 numbers may be mixed up.

 

Thanks

[DJHSutherland]

If Anyone is interested.

 

Just attempted to ring the above numbers but went to answering machine. Another number I tried was 020 7116 5634 Think the lady was called Tammy or Temi and will confirm this next time I badger her.

 

She seemed to be dealing with it and not Connely or Lombardy.

 

Said she has not had a chance to look into it yet and Ive left my details.

 

Will be calling again soon if I do not hear anything...

 

Also Found Fax Number in another Thread : 020 7116 7563

 

Faxed Them FAO : Temi, Rebecca Connelly, Anthondy Lombardy, Karl Voller.

List of charges and dates.

Claim Number

Court date

Asking for settlement, stating I will be in touch one more time before court proceedings.

 

Just to push the ball as she did say she hadn't looked into my claim so now this might make it easier and clear.

 

Nothing to loose....

[Welshman]

A friendly word of advice - Don't badger her or any of them. They have a job to do and they have nothing personal against you. They are doing as they are told.

 

If you, or anyone else, starts giving them a hard time not only will they probably make you wait until the very last minute but they will do the same to others in the same position as you and who may be quite desperate to get their hands on their money.

 

Calm down. It will come.

[DJHSutherland]

No Problem.

 

Ive just sent in my documents for court. I called last week and she hadn't looked at my case. They have until 12th Feb to submit documents they rely on in court e.t.c So I am going to leave it now until towards the end of the month and call back.

 

Hopefully because the date is looming they may know who I am then and I will get more of an answer but that will be the amount of my badgering.

[DJHSutherland]

Okay.

 

They had until today to file thier stuff for the 21st Feb. Gave them a call, should have done a few days ago.

 

A nice guy called Charles Spalding, who is handling my case. Temi has left is in the process of faxing over an agreement for my 845pounds they owe me.

 

Not a success story just yet, but should be by the end of the day..

 

As Bernard Once Said.....Boooootiful..

 

So to all you others. Hang in there. It took me about 3.5 months all in all I think...

 

Who Do I Contact to make a contribution for all the fine help...

[DJHSutherland]

Another Success. 850 placed in my bank account today...

 

Cheers for all the help and I hope this thread comes in handy for someone else..
