Claim Against Barclays

[Jonboy]

Hi there,

 

I have a claim against Barclays for GBP 425.00 charges to my account.

 

They have offered me 200.00 quid which I have refused and I have notified them they have 2 weeks to pay up or I will bring a case against them.

 

The only problem now is I dont know how to proceed.

 

Any advice would be welcome,

 

thanks

Okay have you done the prelim letter and the LBA letter?

 

If so then its off to court you go.

 

You can claim online if your in England. Dont forget interest at 8% when you claim, and you can ask for your costs to be reimbursed!

 

Good Luck!

Hi there,

 

sorry been away only just had time to see answer to my post.

 

Have sent Barclays 2 letters (One was original request, which they came back and offered half of the amount + the second one I sent declined the offer and I gave them 14days to settle before going to court).

 

Barclays have made it clear they will not pay the full amount.

 

I am not sure the next step.

 

What to I have to do now regarding the claim in court ?

 

pleeze help as I am getting nervous !

I think the next thing to do is read the FAQ section, since you obviously haven't done so yet - or not thoroughly enough.

 

You are now on the verge of taking a large financial institution to court, which is not something anyone should do lightly or under-prepared, despite evidence suggesting this is straight forward.

 

When you have read the FAQ section, completely, come back to this post if you have questions that you cannot find answered in there.

you are at the stage of filling in court, dont worry, alot of people on here have done it so far with little hassle, but you MUST educate yourself on what will happen and how to go forward.

 

You have the ability to do this, we are here supporting you!

 

Good Luck

Hi again,

 

Ok I am swotting up on the court procedure.

 

I have noticed that the bank have continued to carry on charging me bank referal fees after my claim.

 

I reckon there is now another 100 quid or so on top of my original claim.

 

Should I just stick to the original amount or go back and include all the charges up to date ?

 

help ?

Have you filling your court claim? if you have then you can either pay £35 to get the amount changed, or claim again once yuo get sucess this time round.

 

If not then just add it to your claim when you file.

thought I would keep everyone posted.

 

Have submitted a monyclaim for GBP 1230.00 against Barclays, they have acknowledged the case and now have 28 days before they do anything.

 

Keeping fingers crossed !!!

Hi, Barclays have just offered me 550 quid against my claim of 1230 quid.

 

Could use the money but I am going to stick this out + go for full amount !

[MARTIN3030]

Good on you.

 

You have come this far............almost there.

Go for the lot.......its what you are entitled to and Barclays will NOT defend.

You are very likely to be asked to sign a conf agreement tho its up to you (and your family members )if you want to do that.

[melaniebree]

barclays have come forward and offered 1/3 of the amount claimed. i am going to write and give them 14 days to pay in full or issue but wondered if anyone had a specific letter with good wording to send them?

 

thanks!

[MARTIN3030]

Have you already sent them an letter before action ?

 

If not you should send that one.

 

In the body of the letter you could add something like this,

 

I acknowledge your offer of..... but am unable to accept as this falls considerably short of the total amount .... which I wish to claim.

I am however prepared to offer this as a part settlement,on the understanding that I will still be pursuing the additional amount as indicated.

You have 14 days to repond etc

[MARTIN3030]

sorry that should read

 

 

I am prepared to ACCEPT not offer
