Received letter from Barclays in reference to my claim for return of charges on Barclaycard closed a/c in which they state:

 

"You should be aware that the bank will immediately apply to the Court for an order to stay your action until the resolution of the bank's proceedings with the OFT. As a result your case is likely to be put on hold [...]"

 

Having telephoned the Court today for update I've learned that the date by which Barclays should have filed thier defence was 29 August. I was told that they have filed their defence on Friday 31 August, although I haven't yet received a copy. It would appear that my case has not been stayed, if it had the court officer would have said so ...:rolleyes:

 

So now I'm waiting for a copy of the defence in order to prepare my response and also waiting for hearing date from the Court.

Rang court again. on Friday 7 Sept. Judge had set my claim aside as he thinks it should be stayed! Explained diff between "bank overdraft charges" test case and what I am requesting, return of "credit card penalty fees". Ahhh, I see!!!

 

Letter prepared and taken to court same day setting out the different case law and how they judge may proceed with this.

 

La la la, waiting ...:rolleyes:

Hi Paintball

 

I did not even have a court date, just a stay by the local court and they settled with me and paid it by BACS as well.

 

Good Luck

All advice given is without any liability and has been picked up from my own experiences.

Never give up hope - Life is to short.

Hmmm, no response :rolleyes: I'll give them a call tomorrow, remind them that they're in breach of Civil Procedure Rules (not supplying documents requested), also remind them of the escalating costs of my piddly ickle claim ... they could just do the reasonable thing and settle ...:p

Hmmm, movement in the B/card forum seems to be concentrated in the Stay Removal thread ...:rolleyes:

 

Anyway, here's my update: emailed Katherine Ashton who did not even have the courtesy to reply. Emailed Greg Thomas who replied straight away and had the temerity to tell me that they will settle at 8% interest... like Barclaycard get to decide the interest paid out!

 

Declined 8%, told him I'm pursuing the interest APPLIED to the charges and expressed astonishment that they consider it financialy justifiable to continue with such a piddly claim; it's cost them FAR IN EXCESS of the amount I'm claiming!!

 

Told them I expect their Skeleton Argument for the Stay Removal Hearing 7 days before the hearing, in accordance with Civil Procedure Rules, they will have mine in good time and also requested, for the FIFTH time, relevant documents also in accordance with CPR.

 

Good grief, they are the sketchiest people I've ever dealt with, to quote that bird from BB8 ...;)

Mr Thomas sent me an email in reply to my response saying that Barclays agree to the charges and court fees, but not the interest. He said that the stay should NOT have been applied (HE requested it as per his letter of 30 Aug)!!

 

Said he would prepare, without prejudice, a Consent Order for the court so that the stay can be lifted without a hearing stating that:

 

May I reiterate that we do not oppose the stay being lifted as your claim if for credit card charges and therefore not affected by the test case.

My response was: Barclays do not dictate to the courts the rate of interest applied, as they wanted a stay in the first place then they can contact the court to have it removed so that we may proceed to a hearing for the only sunstantive issue outstanding i.e. the compound contractual interest.

Hmm, hmm ... preparing my hearing stuff anyway and waiting for his response. :rolleyes:

The court inform me that Mr Thomas wrote to them stating that they had no objection to the stay being removed and the case proceeding to a court hearing. They also stated that they will NOT be attending the Stay Removal Hearing; the arrogance of these people is astonishing!

 

I replied that I WILL be attending the hearing on 7 Nov ... :rolleyes:

Hi Paintball - what a nightmare, you will get there in the end.

 

Re the stay removal hearing you must attend as otherwise the case may be struck out if neither party turns up. I was reading on here today about someone that had happened to

 

Hopefully they will pay up beforehand...

Thanks LS, I wouldn't dream of not turning up ... I'm looking forward to a very one-sided conversation with the judge. Imagine it my dear, he and I could pretend that B/card were actually there and take turns in being them. I could get them to say all sorts like, "Yeah, we are wasting the courts and Ms Painty's time and will compensate generously" :D LOL

Well, here's a thing: I received a 'phone call from the delightful Mr Thomas this evening and whilst I would normally NEVER speak to these people, I was curious to hear what the spotty oik had to say.

 

Well, he began by telling me a pitiful tale of a letter that he sent to my local court telling the disctrict judge that Bcard had no objection to the stay being removed (very magnanimous you must agree!) which, to his disappointment today from contacting the court, he has discovered will NOT be presented to the judge. What is the judge thinking of, not jumping when Bcard tells him to?... I pointed out to the eager young rip that HE was the one who had sent me a letter informing me that he would be requesting a stay be applied. He apologised for this ... ha! a complete volte face :o

 

But 'tis too late, as we now have a Stay Removal Hearing on 7 Nov and Bcard do not seem to want to attend. I said that I was not surprised by this as it would cost them more to attend the hearing than the amount I am claiming! (it wouldn't keep me in cat food). I also reminded him that Bcard have not yet complied with my CPR request and sent relevant documents despite FIVE written reminders. Hmmm, poor Mr Thomas was forced to admit that he had no "record of such a request":eek: What stunning efficiency!

 

Now here's the rub folks and thanks for your patience; Mr T is preparing a letter that will go to the court in which he says that he is not disputing the charges and costs but that we are "in agreement" that the only remaining issue is the interest and that there is no need for a stay hearing. Well there you are then, Bcard decide one thing one minute and the change their mind the next ... and the court should JUMP when instructed.

 

After much back and forth I eventually got bored I must confess, and said that I will be respecting the authority of the judge and attending the hearing. I told Mr T that if he wishes to send a letter to the judge that is his decision and I am not a part of it as they do not speak for me, I can do that for myself at the hearing, thanks. Told him that he'll be receiving my Skeleton Argument shortly and it will be sent to the judge too.

 

Well ...

What will happen next? Will Bcard attend the hearing? Will the judge remove the stay and allow Ms Painty to procede to a full court hearing?

 

Tune in next week for the next exciting instalment of ...

Paintball vs Barclaycard

Just gone to the Court to submit my Court Bundle ahead of the stay removal hearing on 7 Nov. B/card have sent another fax this morning asking for the stay to be removed and asked court lady tp put it in front of the judge. She said she'll do that but it's not normal procedure. I told her that I don't agree to their approach and am attneding the hearing.

 

Sharklaycard are desperate to get me into the courtroom, presumably so that they can decimate me over the issue of CCI ... stand firm girl :rolleyes:
