Guess what came in the post today? :-D

 

... Hang on, let's not crack the champagne open just yet!

 

1) they are offering £456, which is a couple of quid short (interest been accruing, you know!), which I could let slide, I suppose. BUT!!!....

 

2) They want confidentiality. Yeah, right, like THAT's gonna happen, cheeky beggars! :mad:

 

So, letter winging its way back to them, and they'd better get a move on an' all, the hearing is next Thursday!

 

I've also said in my letter that since they added £60 of charges since I started my claim, they might save themselves the bother and pay that back at the same time, or I'll start a new claim straight away, but that's really their choice. :-D

 

Right, I'd better go and post that letter, they might get it by Monday then. :-)

Go for it Booky. I have just read on someones thread that they have just submitted their MCOL and are bricking it that they will be the first to end up in court. Sounds like Barclays are feeling the same way.:p

Of COURSE not!!! :rolleyes:

 

What I said was:

 

I refer to your letter dated 27th October.

 

Please note the following points:

 

- Since interest at 8% has been accruing since my last letter, my claim is now standing at £ 458.02. If payment is made in my bank account on receipt of this letter, I am willing to forego the few pence that keep on accruing in the meantime.

- You have since added 2 charges of £ 30.00 on my account. May I suggest, in order to avoid further litigation, that the £ 60.00 get refunded to my account at the same time as the £458.02? This, of course, works at your advantage, insofar that you would not then incur future court fees and interest, but it is totally up to you.

- Please note that there is absolutely no way that I can agree to having conditions imposed on my claim, and will not agree to be bound by confidentiality in any form or shape.

 

Upon confirming receipt of the £ 458.02, I shall notify the Court that I am withdrawing my claim. Until then, my claim continues. If the £ 60.00 of additional penalties have not been refunded at the same time, I will have no choice but to start a second and separate action once this one is concluded.

 

Yours truly,

 

Mrs Bookworm

 

:-D

 

Mind you, I didn't even get the personal attention of the illustrious KJ, mine was signed by Celyn Evans, legal clerk.

Awwww shucks.... :-( I never even got any communications from the man, I got the brief (brief? geddit? ha ha) appearance of Mr St John, and... er, that's it, actually, until Ms. Evans' above missive. What does it TAKE to get them to take a girl seriously??? :razz:

TO ME !!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Received phone call from MISTER Evans (if you're reading this, I apologise again for calling you Ms. Really.

Long and short of it: Yes, they'll pay the extra £2, yes, just score out the confidentiality part, no, they won't refund the other 2 charges, I'll have to start litigation again for that...

:rolleyes:

 

One little thing to be aware of: He wanted me to send him a copy of the confirmation that I am withdrawing my claim BEFORE they could transfer the funds to my account. No chance, said I. Be fair to Barclays, they have never used such tactics, but we do know of banks which said they would pay up, then once claimant had stopped claim, didn't. He argued the opposite, which was what was there to stop me from getting the money and not stopping the claim? Er.... the fact the judge would shoot me down in flames if I tried such a stunt? And strike off my claim? And possibly award cost against me for wasting the court's time? (and quite rightly so too, says I).

 

Anyway, in the end, I said I would fax him a copy of the letter to the court, he would then transfer funds on receipt, and once the money was in my account, then I would drop off the letter to the courts.

 

So, game, set and match, as we always knew it would be. Woo-hooooo!!!!!

Don't be daunted. Just follow the steps - piece by piece - as you get on with the rest of your life.

 

All the support you need is here on the site.

Abbey - 547.00 settled in full.

Second claim: £204 WON.

Barclaycard - 142.88 incl interest due WON BY DEFAULT as they didn't even bother entering a defence. Barclaycard paid up £184.88.

 

MBNA - Concluded £634.31

Capital One Concluded £148

Kinda disappointed I've no more banks to go after now...
