Barclays Litigation Team Good or Evil? You Decide..

[kopstar1965]

This is not directed at you dave but holding someone to ransome, even B's is not a good idea, if you have received (or are going to) all you have been charged then that should be the end of it.

At the moment the consumers have the law & the moral high ground, if we start acting as badly as the banks have then it could change.

Just my honest opinion.

[oneofakind]

Entirely agree, Kopstar. If the Claimant starts moving the goalposts, this could have repercussions in court.

 

JMHO.

I hope you get your phone call soon fitzos, my court date is tomorrow and I have heard nothing. Shame - we shall see if anyone turns up tomorrow. vbmenu_register("postmenu_1006954", true);

[Delboy01]

I had already guessed that

 

 

Do you think i can squeeze a bit more out of them to comply with their request

Dave I would consider wasted time costs Which I got from Barcs, ask the judge to consider WTCs when you send the court a letter of settlement.

Ring the court up a few days later and see what the judge has commented. I had to go to the mercantile court to argue my case for WTCs Barc didnt turn up mind.... ( examples of them wasting your time, breaking deadlines, oh and the wasting of valuable court time.

Ok, this isn't strictly a Lit team Q, but I have a Q I need some help on, and this seems the best place to ask it. I have a thought about letting BCard take me to court in this post and would like some feedback on it.

 

Basically it's a an opposite way of getting to the end, but without goig through the initial stages.

COME ON WITHOUT, COME ONE WITHIN, YOU'LL NOT SEE NOTHING LIKE THE MIGHTY QUINN!

 

Apologies to anyone who doesn't remember these lyrics from a Mannfred Mann song in the late 1960s! (P.s. I'm not that old I just have a much bigger sister!)

 

Deposited funds in my account 1 week before hand - I do not believe this and will check again tomorrow. There is a warning attached though He offerd me less than was due through the old 3 card trick, suggesting interst and court costs were added when they were not. I will need to check the exact level of deposit because I scribbled it out along with the confidentiality clause when I faxed it back. The cheeky monkey surely cannot claw back my interest just because he's settled at the 11th hour can he? PS i am not claiming victory just yet. I want wasted costs and my interest if it hasn't been included. Will check tomorrow. Think I'll let him sweat for his discontinuation notice! It can be at the 11th hour as well - but I'm still going to court to get wasted costs unless adviced from this site suggests otherwise! PPS I won't take any advice from barclays lurkers. Responses good folk?

[kopstar1965]

Congrats on getting (some) of your cash, don't settle untill your claim has been dealt with to your satisfaction.

I've resigned myself to going to court due to the holidays, but am fully prepared for it anyway.

To the others out there don't let them get you down or wind you up.

Dead Right Kopstar. Don't believe a word that comes out of their corporate mouths. The default position should be that it's all BS until you KNOW otherwise.

[MrDinkle]

I've been reading through this thread with interest having received a court date for a directions hearing in august.

 

Following several peoples advice on MSE I called 0207 116 1943 hoping to speak to the litigation dept and fingers crossed to get a settlement.

 

It appears that this number is NOT being answered.

 

I then tried 0207 116 4753 (krysta) - this goes to voice mail and informs you that she can only speak to people that she is dealing with.

 

Any other numbers? Or should I just concentrate on my court pack?

 

Thanks!

[tnook]

Having no joy with Kate, she ignores emails and phone calls. Deadline for my Court Bundle is next week. I am going to prepare and send it today.

 

Should I include copies of the emails as proof that I tried to settle?

[andymanuk]

Yes, I did

 

 

it seems that they are not even talking or responding to e-mails unless your actual court date is between 1 and 2 weeks away, so I wouldn't expect any resonse for a while yet......

 

 

frustrating i know..

[kopstar1965]

I will be out of the office until Monday 23 July. My emails will not be

read during my absence. If your email is urgent please contact my

colleague, Greg Thomas, at [email protected]

 

Best Regards

 

Dino Papaevripides

 

At least you get an out of office from Dino?

[kinkyjohnfowler]

My case is two weeks away and I have been offered a settlement way below what i was asking for on the basis they will not pay the c.i. interest of 27.5%, i know a lot of cases have won with c.i. what do you think my next step should be as i dont want to lose my interest as it is a lot more than my charges any ideas? cheers

[andymanuk]

im no expert as i've not got my settlement yet, in my (dubious) opinion unless you have dotted every i etc... and you are sure that they or the judge can't get you on any technicallity, then continue to push, however, I'm a bit of a coward, and i just want the money owed to me as quickly as possible, so i used the calculator for simple interest of 8%

 

if it goes to court it could still be weeks before you get any money, for a variety of reasons......

 

 

i'm rooting for ya anyway....

[kopstar1965]

Previous threads from a mod suggested that B's defend every case with C I, & that no judge has granted it, make up your own mind after reading plenty.

[barney.bradshaw]

Hi,

 

Can someone tell me what I should put in a first email to the litigation team. I have sent off my bundle to both Barclays and the Court which they've both received and my court date is in August.

 

Many Thanks.

[slick132]

KinkyJohn,

 

Further to my PM to you, have a look here as an example - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/104103-adding-interest-contractual-not.html.

 

There are others but, if you want advice, post on a thread in the Barclays Forum.

 

Hope this helps, Slick

[kopstar1965]

barney, when in August, they told me they were only dealing with cases the week before they got to court.

[saintly_1]

I really think it depends on the actual workload of the person dealing with your claim and what mood they are in when you approach them ....

[barney.bradshaw]

Hi Kopstar,

 

It's the 17th .

 

Do you think it's still worth sending them an email now?

[crowe]

It took two calls to the very professional Sharon Daboul to get a full settlement. Couldnt be happier with my dealings with her.

[oneofakind]

Barney,

It's always worth asking, but IMHO you'll have to wait for a couple of weeks yet.

 

[enoughisenough]

Not That I've Dealt With Sharon (i've Had The Infamous Pq Who Was As Slippery As A Rattlesnake + Just About As Rude!) Hats Off To Sharon!!! She's Getting Some Top Postings. Pity Barclays Will Fire Her For Being Too Popular Amongst Litigants. Or Maybe They Could Promote Her? And Rebuild Their Rapidly Declining Reputation.mmm. Just A Thought.

Hi Guys,

 

Presented Court Bundle today in Torquay County Court.

14 days from Court date 1st August.

 

I e-mailed Dino at the beginning of July to ask if he could tell me who was dealing with my case, he responded same day and said it was him.

 

I e-mailed a couple of days later and said i understood that it was a relativly low amount and would be beneficial to both parties to arrange settlement prior to going to trial. ( HAD NO RESPONSE)

 

E-mailed again yesterday to ask if he had a direct address to send bundle to to save time, i got an out of office reply saying he was away till 23rd July, but to contact his colleague Greg Thomas.

 

I did just that and still have NO REPLY!!

 

I have their copy of the bundle waiting here, what is the best address to send it to?

 

I guess i'm on my way to court as well now, should be fun.. has anyone made it into court with (or without them)?

 

Any advice would be great as i no longer have any nails and me bones are looking mighty tasty!!

 

Cheers M
