Yes, welshman's quote goes in section G.

 

The final decision of which track the case will be allocated to is down to the judge, so the first part is to underline your wish to use the small claims track.

 

The rest is to explain that although the case is suitable for the small claims court, you would like the Judge to order "standard disclosure", (you have to request it since it is not normal in small claims cases). Standard disclosure would mean that Barclays would be required to explain in court exactly how they make up their charges - that's the bit that scares them most!

Thanks Welshman, I have read through other posts and sent my AQ recorded delivery today.

 

And now we wait

[dzaster]

Just been in touch with the court dealing with this case, and have found out that yet again, Barclays have submitted the documents late.

 

I know this is standard practice by them but surely they should be held in contempt of court for doing this. The documents required from them were due on 31/10/06 as were mine, they did not arrive until 01/11/06. Now I can appreciate it is only a day, however if I was to do this my case would have been rejected.

 

Anyone care to answer why the banks can get away with this and yet we cant

Hi, new to this site and forum, i have read hours and hours of info but i do believe my claim will seriously exceed £5,000 perhaps near 15k as i am in business and the banks have had lots of fun with me. I under stand the multi link track but where do i find the relevant info, is the procedure the same as with the small claims court ect.

Hi Helen

 

Welcome to the forum, I honestly could not tell you any more than this site does although I understand where you are coming from. It may be a good idea to speak with one of the mods who may be able to tell you more.

Just received a letter from my local court giving me a date, 14/02/07, just now got to get the documents required sorted.

Looks like it's going to be a Valentine's Day massacre for Barclays!

[dzaster]

I hope so, just wish it could have been sooner

[scooby doo]

Just received my DPA back from Barclays and they seem to have changed the wording

 

I have pasted the text in below from a scan I did of the letter

 

Please be aware that the Bank is not under an obligation to present information according to any particular format. Therefore, your request to assemble a schedule of charges is turned aside. You may of course obtain this data from copy statements and these will be supplied to you shortly without charge on this occasion. As the Bank is providing the copy statements on a complimentary basis, no payment will be will debited from your account.

As regards your mention of “manual intervention”, the DPA does not oblige the Bank to comment about internal policies and procedures. Furthermore, in the context of managing day to day transactions arising from out of order accounts, the Bank does not hold the information you have requested in a form that would be covered by the DPA. Whilst aggregated information is retained for statistical purposes, this would not constitute “personal data” under the DPA and therefore would not be covered by a s.7 DPA subject access request. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that we do not generally record information in a way that is caught by the provisions of the DPA, is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention.

 

Any comments??

 

I had exactly the same reply from Barclays and apparently this normal.

[dzaster]

2 weeks to go, is it right I am now starting to get really nervous?

[dzaster]

This morning I received a letter from the Litigation Department at Barclays offering a final settlement of approx £40 less than the amount claimed but it has the usual confidentiality clause attached.

 

Do I accept this or reject it and if I do reject what implications will it have on court that I rejected a very close offer?

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

dzaster

[dzaster]

Just spoken with the Litigation people at Barclays, they are not bothered about the confidentiality clause that was mentioned and will settle in full on receipt of a fax stating I accept their offer.

 

The bloke on the phone sounded really overworked.....

 

So now we have another win to shout about

[Welshman]

Just put a line through the confidentiality part and send it back. Well Done. for you

 

Will arrange a ***won*** for you.
