Top News - My N149 was submitted along with all bundles to the various parties on 15th November - so now I am sitting back and waiting for a date.

But by judging whats on here I may give the Court a ring tomorrow.

[TANZARELLI]

Hi m4n not sure I need the fame but I may do just to spread the word about the site, no pictures though, and don't need the paps knocking at the door. lol

 

Hi Sharpblue,

 

Have you not got a court date yet and you have already sent your bundles in, how efficient of you, impressed.

Hi Tanz, that's fantastic news, I'm very encouraged by your success as I'm currently at the submitting the AQ stage (tomorrow in fact). I've learnt lots from your thread, so many thanks and Good Fortune for all your future ventures.

Dodderhill:D

Hi Tanz, So pleased for you and yours (especially the little one).

 

I'm managing the claims of my two kids (26 and 28)... and just got the AQs today.

 

Given your news and example I may well contact Barclays and offer to settle for full in advance of submitting the AQs and the extra 2 x £100 that they would have to pay.

 

Did you ever get any response from e:Mailing

 

[email protected]?

 

Thanks in anticipation.

[TANZARELLI]

Hi chapmag and dodderhill,

 

Thanks and i'm glad this story has been of use. I didn't get any responce from the email and even sent a letter as well but they ignored them both.

 

It seems that Barclays are settling most cases after court date has been set. It's important to keep up some sort of contact I feel just so they know your still there. Also make sure all letters are recorded delivery.

 

It wont be long now before you get a date for a hearing Barclays will prob submit AQ's on or around last day before they are due.

 

Keep posting on this forum an you will receive all the info you need.

 

Its just a case of playing the game with Barclays stick with it though as they are hoping you will fold before they do, but we all know thats not why we started the whole process.

 

Good luck, not that you'll need it. lol

 

Tanz

[chapmag]

Hi again Tanz, Quick question... did Barclays close you account as a result of the settlement? Thanks in anticipation.

[TANZARELLI]

Hi chapmag,

 

not as yet as they paid money into this but they would have to give me notice to do this anyway. However I don't use it really as got tierd a long time ago with them charging me so opened another with Lloyds TSB. I do leave the odd few pounds in it just to keep it live. As soon as money went in from them I withdrew the whole lot and tranferred it to L TSB.

Tanz,

 

Well done, and a really helpful thread as well! My daughter is 15 months and I have another baby on the way so I think this makes you more determined to have control of at least one part of your life!!

 

I dropped my AQ in today and am preparing my bundle at the moment so will check with court on 26th which was the last day they had to hand their AQ in as well (I think)

 

Have a wonderful Christmas and good luck with your next claim.

Thanks Tanz - It was my Lawyer friend Chris (who used to work in Litigation) that got me organised. He also prepared me a Skeleton Argument (see below) which may be of use to some on this site, obviously this one applies to my particular case but it can easily be adjusted to suit most other claims I feel. I hope you dont mind me posting this....

Hi Sharpeblue,

 

This looks good nd i'm sure it could be used by others, why don't you post this in the library section or ask a mod if it could be posted there for you. Well done.

Hi Tanzarelli,

 

Well done for beating the bank.

 

I've read on here that some peolple have phoned barclays and got their money back that way, do you think it is worth while doing that, I was thinking of phonig Mr Ruffhead who wrote the defence for barclays. Or should I phone Alex Martin. My case has been moved to the mercantile court, but I have no date yet.

[TANZARELLI]

Hi genesco,

 

I'm not sure if it will work but I cant se why it wouldn't hurt. Have you done Allocation Questionnaire yet?

 

Tanz

[genesco]

Yeah I done my allocation question, back in 11th October, but didn't know about the bundle pack I handed it into my local court who then transfered it to the mercantile court.

[genesco]

hi Tanz,

I just called alex martin who said that someone called Celyn evans was dealing with my case and he gave me a phone number for him to discuss my case but the number he gave me goes through to someone called franklin par, how strange.

[TANZARELLI]

If I remember rightly, bookworm had some dealings with somebody evans. Check out her thread in the success section.

 

Tanz

[genesco]

Hi Tanz,

just thought i'd give u a quick update, i called alex martin again and he informed me he had given me the wrong number, so he gave me the right one, so i called Celyn evans, very polite man asked him if he wanted to settle before it went to mercantile court, he said that is what they are looking to do and that he has check to see if the figures were right and that then he would send me a letter in the next couple of days with an offer, he also told me that my husbands had been transfered to the mercantile court aswell and he would also be reciving a letter soon. We haven't even been informed that his has been tranfered to mercantile court yet. he took my mobile number and said would get back to me as of when.

Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

[Money4Nothing]

In my case Alex looked at the figures the next day and called me, it guess it depends how busy they are.

Hi Tanzarelli

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I read a thread the other day and I can't find it again.

 

You advised someone to send a covering letter to Barclays with the court bundle stating you would accept a full settlement before the court date. We would like to do this but we're not sure if you add the interest up to today or just ask for the amount we calculated when the claim was issued. Can we ask for a different amount?

 

Also should we include documents setting out our argument in the bundle or just rely on the information in the basic court bundle on this site? Should we just save it for court?

 

Thanks

Lisa

[genesco]

Hi Tanz just thought I'd let you know that Today Barclays sent me and my hubby a letter offering us both full and final settlement. There figures are diffent to mine my hubbys is about £55 short and mine is about £85 more, but I think we will settle for it so we can get this money in the bank before xmas.

 

I will be crossing out the line

"YOU ALSO AGREE THAT THE EXISTANCE AND TERMS OF THIS OFFER ARE CONFIDENTIAL BETWEEN US".

 

Has anyone got a letter they sent of to the court saying that the bank has paid.

I just phoned them up and asked if they wanted to settle before the court case which they said they did and within 2 days they sent me a full offer, and I never even had a court date.

Sorry for the delay in replying but been having pc probs. You could write to them and just say:

 

I am enclosing copies of the documents which I will be relying on in court for your information and that a copy of these has also been sent to the court as required.

 

Even at this late stage I am willing to accept a full settlement of Charges, Interest 8% plus daily rate interest at (pence per day x however many days since you filed your claim).

 

Hope this helps, others have phoned and got results of late so this is another possibility.

 

Tanz

[sharpblue]

Well I phoned the Court this morning and Barclays have submitted their N149, I am still concerned about this because If they are that confident could THEY win? This being me and living in Swindon I am convinced I will be one of the first to loose my case, I am kind of worried that via Chris (my Solicitor friend) I may have given them too much information and their legal team will find some loophole to jump through. What do you think???????

 

Should I ring them asking for a settlement?
