Started the ball rolling this morning by sending off the DPA letter for statements/charges for the last six years, I must admit I'm starting to feel a little nervous now though!

The one thing to keep me going is the fact that there must be a good couple of grand there that would come in real handy right now. Fingers crossed, Woohoo!!

 

Any words of wisdom or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

 

Power to the people and good luck to all!!!!!!!!

Following my DPA letter sent 21/4/2000, I received a letter from Barclays yesterday stating how they are under no obligation to advise me of any manual interventions on my accout blah dee blah, etc, etc, etc, however they will send out a copy of statements dating back to April 2000. They have also sent back my £10 cheque as they claim this is not needed (If only they were this efficient in handing money back when facing claims).

Would I be correct in thinking that by Barclays not advising me of any manual interventions then this this could work to my advantage if this actually goes all the way to court?

 

As appropriately stated by a certain famous dance goup: WHAT WE HAVE HEAR IS A TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE LAW.

 

Power to the people,

Received my 6 years worth of statements yesterday (took from 21/4) and have had a quick look through today, it looks to be around the £2500 mark. Will do a proper count and send off the preliminary letter ASAP.

Have had some personal probs so have not been able to progress my claim till now. Have added up my charges and am looking at £2405, can someone please confirm exactly what the schedule of charges is that goes with the prelim letter? Is this the Excel spreadsheet or shall i just do a list of charges with dates? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but my head is in the shed at the mo and i just need to try and get this done (correctly) sooner rather than later.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi Bigwig

I sent the general DPA request letter from templates with a £10 cheque, I then received a letter advising me that what I had requested was not a DPA request but they would send them out free charge. They returned the cheque and statements arrived about a week later.

Thanks for getting back.

 

So what is a DPA request letter and where do I obtain one? I can't wait to get started in trying to get some money back, before I didn't think it was possible.

a schedule of charges is a list of all your charges with the workings out ie:

 

 

02.10.2000 £20 Over Draft excess fee + interest at 8% at XXXp x 2009 days =

 

you do this for each charge

Finally managed yesterday to get my prelim letter sent off with a schedule of charges and it all added up to £2,340.00. I'm feeling much more confident after reading the success of some of the guys/gals on here too.
