Barclays Litigation Team Good or Evil? You Decide..

[stagey]

Hi enough - have just recvd email back from Dino still expressing huge apologies for delay and back log etc - should be in sons account by the w/e he says. I do believe him I think he's really trying to get things sorted via Paul Q, - I assume we will get a communication from the court soon with another date as I asked for a delay to allow clearance - at this stage with Barclays it's difficult to know what to do for the best. Reading the forums I think there are quite a few of us in the same position - won, rcvd settlement letter, but nothing to show for it. A new ploy perhaps - my little concern could be that what is deposited is not what was agreed - and then we start all over again! but that's being very pessimistic !

[enoughisenough]

Pessimistic, but not implausible. I think once you've got the letter offer, they surely wouldn't deliberately dare the wrath of a court for the sake of maybe a couple of hundred quid. My thinking is that any discrepancy would be genuinely in error, unless I'm being naive. Incidentally, how did you co-opt Dino onto your case? I'm still dealing (or rather not dealing!) with the elusive Mr. Quinn.

Hi enoughisenough, I have tried several e-mails & got no response either, I really didn't expect him to pick up the phone but thought it was worth a shot.

"hammer the court or settle" just let them know that once I go away I won't be contactable, will see them in court & that things should be run to my agenda not theirs, he did say they were dealing with things in the week before they got to court, but thats not always the best solution for the claimant.

I also don't think requesting a settlement now for £xxxx as opposed to £yyyyyy in 4 weeks time works, these guys are not cost conscious (or they'd have paid up months ago) & are just working through the claims fire fighting the most urgent ones, in case they haven't noticed they're all bloody urgent.

We could always try the tactic the use on us when we owe money to them & call everyday requesting payment, you could even try a spoof security check make sure it's him!!!!

I too have been trying to get Paul Quinn to get on with things. Emailed again yesterday but will not hold my breath for an answer.

 

Hey ho

My advice, bite the bullet & ring on 02071165634. It's dead easy to avoid e-mails all day long.

Andrew

[enoughisenough]

To be honest Kopstar, I've tied myself in a knot by withdrawing my offer, so I'll have to leave it late on. I'm trying to claim loads on top for example costs in assembling bundle. I know that Dino has made these settlements on top of interest and court fees. Also trying to claim about £200 worth of subsequent charges. I will bite the bullet, but will have to wait my turn in the queue which with PQ is dangerous becauswe he'll foul things up by being tardy in his response. Oh well!

[saintly_1]

Well I have just spoken to PQ, I nearly fell off my chair when he answered today as he has not on previous attempts.

His best advice was to get a delay to the court date because it's tight to my return from holidays, which I would guess he would suggest because it means less work for him & a delayed outcome for me, not keen on that idea.

OR I contact towards the end of July & hammer the court or settle idea......hmmmm I know which works for me.

Andrew

I would just say OK then see you in court

[slick132]

No word today from Kate so emailed Dino who promised she'd respond today. She did within 20 mins and with my full claim on offer.

 

See here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/70074-slick-barclays-business.html and good luck to all.

 

Regards, Slick

[saintly_1]

Guess you wont be accepting the confidentiality clause then slick ;-)

[slick132]

No Saintly, when I get the letter from Kate, I'll be ready and waiting with my Striker Outer pen.

 

On a serious note, have I done wrong by posting my news today. It didn't even cross my mind I was so excited.

 

Slick

[saintly_1]

nope you havent done wrong ...... i just noticed how excited you had got ;-)

[oneofakind]

I would just like to say at this point, that Oneofakind LOVES Paul Quinn!

Tonight, I am a happy man, having consumed a fair amount of red wine, costing a bit more than I usually pay....

 

:D

[kopstar1965]

Ultimatums rarely work for either party (USA & UK Vs Saddam, spot the winner, sorry no politics allowed) It's best to keep cool & play them at their own game. They know they dont want to end up in court, we know they know so why stretch it out.........because it might put a few people off thats why.

It's been said before but this is not a get rich quick scheme, I started just after new year & now its summer(WHERE EXACTLY) so if it takes to Autumn so what.

Andrew

[saintly_1]

now its summer(WHERE EXACTLY)

 

Apparently summer will happen on the 15th July ;-)

[kopstar1965]

Just that day, bugger I'll be at work!!!!!!!

I've currently got 2 claims going on with Barclays, one with Krysta and the other with Kate Ashton. I've sent emails to them both as my court date is 31st July, the last ones being 4th July, I've had read receipts and delivered receipts on them, they haven't even bothered to open them. I've forwarded both mails onto Dino and had an immediate reply from him advising that he will speak to Krysta and Kate this afteroon.

 

Lucky people if you get Dino.

 

True to his word, I've received an email from Kate Ashton advising that I will be receiving a settlement letter next week - Does this mean that I can be added to the WON hall of fame!

[saintly_1]

I would wait until you have a fully agreed settlement have known them say they are sending them out and people waiting a week or more to receive them

[beverleyt]

I faxed my settlement letter to Paul 10 days ago and after sending him 2 emails asking when I will get my money he hasnt replied. Does anyone know what my next step should be?

[enoughisenough]

OK. First thing first. PQ WILL NOT REPLY TO EMAILS. Secondly he won't action it until right on top of your court date. 3rd. You should contact Dino and say that PQ has not responded to your mails and you no longer want to deal with him. If you scan this thread carefully there are a thousand people dealing with PQ who NEVER get any response. Just go over his head.

[saintly_1]

send a copy of your last email to Dino ..... bet he gives Paul the kick in the pants he needs

[beverleyt]

My court date has been and gone on 28th June. I didnt go because I received the letter. Have emailed Dino now thank you!

[saintly_1]

What you didnt go to court !!!!! did you inform the judge that they had settled ? ......

good cop ....bad cop...syndrome?

[kopstar1965]

Hmm I tried that earlier this week (Dino & Krysta) got me nowhere other than triply frustrated,,,unless your a man you have no idea how frustrated triply is.
