Barclays entered a defence - what now?

[ski1382]

I am helping my wife make a claim against Barclays for roughly £2,000.

Barclays have replied today and entered their defence (not read it as yet since I am at work, although I am assuming it is the standard one).

Just wondering what exactly happens now? What do I need to do? What will they do? What will the courts do?

 

Thanks guys (and gals)

hi,

as you have now probably received barclays standard defence the courts will send you an AQ to fill out and return to the courts.

Thanks Claire, just wondering though, the £100 extra I have to pay, does this get added onto the claim?

[why!!!!!!]

yes when the claim is to be settled you add it on with the rest of your court costs.

[ski1382]

So I don't put it on the AQ? When the case is settled am I given another form for the court costs etc..?

Also, I am taking this action for my wife, is it possible for me to represent her in court or is it unlikely to actually get that far?

[why!!!!!!]

hi,

No when barclays phoned to settle i asked for the court fees on top.

It is unlikely to get that far, but... you should always be in the frame of mind that it very well could.

What should I put into the 'other information' box?

 

I cannot seem to find any template for it on the site.

 

Thanks

hi,

you could enter this for section g,

"I am respectfully requesting that my claim be allocated to the small claims track. This issue

is not a complicated one; it is an issue of fact and not of law. The issue is only whether the money levied by the Defendant in respect of its customer’s contractual breaches exceed their actual costs incurred. I am happy to pay their actual costs and I am surprised the Defendant did not counterclaim for these, because I would have reduced my claim without argument. However, the continuing problem is (in common with the hundreds of other cases currently being brought by other bank customers) that the banks refuse to reveal the details of their penalty-charging regime. As the banks have a fiduciary duty towards their customers, they have a duty to deal straightforwardly and in utmost good faith.

Accordingly, I would respectfully ask that the court in this case, not withstanding allocation to the small claims track, order :

i) Summary Judgement as the Defendants defence did not answer the particulars of claim and consisted of no grounds for defence;

OR

ii) Standard Disclosure.

I believe this would bring a rapid end to this litigation."

 

hope this helps.

Have had a letter from the courts now giving a date for directions on 17 May, and informing us we must attend on this date.

What do I do now? I was ultra confident at the start of all of this but am now a little more nervous. It has not stated that I need to supply any further information to the courts (I have not at any point been asked to supply evidence). Please tell me that we are not being made an example of and that this is normal tactics. Will Barclays make contact with us soon?

 

Looking forward to getting a response!

Its is not an every day issue but by no means unusual, judges are different across the country and therefore do things differently.
