lthomp192 Vs Barclays ***SETTLED IN FULL***

[dar£n]

Hearing on 15th of May

the trouble here is they are not yet pressured, your court date is still quite a way off in comparison to the ones they are struggling to deal with that are within a week or so.

 

they will prob be willing to talk around 1st may.

 

but it wouldnt hurt you sending an email or letter [recorded of course]

 

have a look here at this one ive just suggested for spleengirl

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/53507-spleengirl-barclays.html#post739047

 

you would obv have to amend it to match your details.

 

let me know how you get on..good luck

[lthomp192]

I think i will leave it for now dar3n, and Email- Krysta say at the end of the Month, as you say it is slightly too early yet and we don't want to seem too eager. so will give Krsta a nudge later on. Thanks for that dar3n.

Recieved letter from court today which reads:-

It is ordered that unless by 10th May 2007, Defendant complies with the order of 6th March defendant will be debarred from defending the clainm.

 

that is 5 days before court date, so should i leave it to few days before the 10th then give them a nudge??? B.T.

Recieved letter from court today which reads:-

It is ordered that unless by 10th May 2007, Defendant complies with the order of 6th March ( which was Docs to be exchanged by 02/04) defendant will be debarred from defending the claim]

 

I am thinking of giveing Barclays a ring on mon/tues, (i have my contacts number) ref the above, just to give them a nudge, let them know i heve'nt gone away. views welcome.

Hi. B,

You could open the converstaion by asking if they could send you a copy of their defence that will be used in court as the court is unable to forward a copy to you as they have not received it.

Then ask if they are in a position to consider out of court settlement in order to stop wasting each others valuable time for such a nominal amount.

Slip in the fact that you have done some serious research into Barclays history of unlawful charges being reclaimed and find it interesting and to your advantage that they have yet attended court to defend themselves.

 

This might rattle their cage a little.

If they tell you they will be in touch nearer the date, advise them not to leave it too late because you will not consider discontinuance until you have clared funds in your account.

 

good luck mate.

[lthomp192]

Thanks for that advice dar£n, sound as usual, will leave it till tues so they can get over the Monday rush!!! let you know how get on.

Hello

Hope you don't mind my asking but you didn't seem to receive an answer to your post #15. In your phone call did you let Barclays assume that they were speaking to your son? The reason I ask is that my claim is also on behalf of my son and as I'm his mum I might have a slight problem sounding like him!! I'm way behind you so very best of luck.

 

regards......marg

[dar£n]

Is there a reason why he cant speak for himself?

 

You can always 'represent' your son. act on his behalf, for all they know he may not be physically able to communicate over the phone.

 

This is why the banks have security questions.

 

As long as they have the clearance they require.

 

If there is a problem you could always get a written statement from him to allow you to act on his behalf. ask them if this is acceptable.

Don't mind at all,"marg" when i phoned before, i just asked to speak to the person dealing with claim No----, they put me straight through to him, even he didn't ask any personal questions, just asked for claim no etc,and said they would contact me nearer the date. what "dar£n" has just posted could be spot on, as long as you're speaking with this persons consent. they are happy to deal with you. also you wouldn't have all the particulars readily at hand if this wasn't the case.I must admit i was a bit dubious when i phoned, but i after what "dar£n" has said i'll be more assertive now.

 

Thanks again for that prompt reply and advice dar£n.

Hi any updates to your Case.

[lthomp192]

Hi any updates to your Case.

 

 

Hi not at this moment in time, i'm thinking of ringing them in the near future though either later today or tomorrow will keep you posted.

want to time it right,not to seem to eager,after all i'm in the driveing seat now, i could just sit back and wait untill the strike out order kicks in on the 10/05, but i feel the thing to do is give them a nudge before that date and get this thing sorted before it' gets to messy. so i will be ringing very soon.

[lthomp192]

Phoned up barclays earlier,couldn't get through on my contacts No, so phoned "dar£n's" contact "Krystal" she said they are snowed under at the moment and would tell "Dino"(my contact) to get in touch with me in the next few days by phone or letter(she took my phone number). i told her they had to get there Docs to me by the 10/05 or they would be "De-Barred" she seemed to take this on board, so will just wait and see.

[lthomp192]

Could you give me some guidance please, as the courts have given Bs untill 10/05 to produce there court Docs or be De-Barred, (which is this thurs) do i have to submit a "Request for Judgement" to the court, or does the court deal with it all from there end? thanks in advance B.T.

[lthomp192]

Contacted Bs today ref- settlement, found them more willing this time (now only days to go) spoke to my contact direct, faxed SOC to him, also left E-Mail and home address, said he would be in contact very soon, so here,s hoping, sounded very promising.

[dar£n]

Thats better thompy, bet that smile is growing now, youre nearly there matey.

dont forget the usual, confidentiality bit and additional comment about not discontinuing court action until you have cleared funds.

[lthomp192]

you,re spot on mate, no matter how much you prepare yourself for it, it's still a nice feeling when things start heating up near the finishing line.

Yes, all noted regarding the Clauses etc dar£n, will hopefully report back with good news pretty soon. B.T.

[african_igbo]

Did Bs get the docs to you.

[lthomp192]

Answer in a nutshell NO. they don't send doc's out, they just play the system and keep you hanging on untill the eleventh hour. that is up on the 10th (Strike out by Court) (Hearing on15th), hence starting to play ball.

[african_igbo]

Did Bs settle out of court or is it still pending.

[intercityman]

Barclays seem to be play silly buggers with quite a few people. They have just defend in the case i have with them.

 

Be intrested in seeing your result

[lthomp192]

Update.

Recieved "Full and Final" settlement offer from Bs this morning, (£625.00 short of my figure), letter reads usual gump from Bs, it says i can notify him by "Fax" do i send a normal (modified) "rejection of offer" letter back?

or is there another way to play the game.

[lthomp192]

Rang Bs regarding settlement offer,don't seem to want to play ball,(wouldn't up the offer),so will wait untill tomorrow then ring courts regarding the judgement order by "Judge Naylor" and see what the present status is and take it from there.

Will follow up phone conversation with a faxed letter of offer refusal to Bs.

[madhouse5]

How's it going? Have you rung the court or have barclays increased their offer??

 

Barclays have just been given extra time to submit their AQ in my case. It should have been in by 27th April (which I managed) now they have til 17th May or their defence will be struck out by judge.

 

Good luck

[lthomp192]

Have just come off phone to court, they didn't realise hearing (15/05) was so close to judgement order, so will get judge to look at it today and looks as though hearing will be cancelled for tues 15th, then they will have 14 days to pay up or it's the bailiffs, so here we are again in the waiting game. will keep you posted.

[madhouse5]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. The end is near.
