Barclays Litigation Team Good or Evil? You Decide..

[paulson1985]

Oh Barclays telling them would not surprise me in the least.

[KennyVinegar]

I've got my hearing tomorrow. dar£n - should I take a print out of your OFT email to add to my stay opposition document? Or do you think it would hinder my chances?

[signa]

I was in court yesterday. Told the judge the Lit Team had told me over the phone I would get my money back in full. Changed their minds after July 27th. Judge said he will not grant the stay until Barclays Lit Team come to court to explain themselves. Gave them 28 days to do so. They are in London and court is in Manchester area. Claim is for £1100.

Hehehe Nice one

Anyone think the Litigation man I spoke to will travel all way up north to defend Barclays?

Signa, Look at my thread here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/70074-slick-barclays-business.html .

 

Post #34 shows tel con with Lit'n team saying offer letter will go out and post #39 shows letter arriving the next day. Print and take these if it'll help. Slick

Hi Guy's, just a quick update, have now received the settlement cheque,

 

however..............

 

there was a debit balance that had been placed in the hands of a dca (RMA) outstanding,

 

now some may remember that we had costantly been harassed by RMA even though they knew we were going to court in order to settle.

 

And beleive it or not, I had yet another threatening letter today even though a/c was settled last week!

 

Spoke to a complete moron at RMA, who said it was my responsibility to tell them, not their responsibility to prove or find out.

 

Anyway a quick call to Greg Thomas had it all sorted,

 

Although we feel lucky in these times, Greg and Dino have always been polite, genuinly pleasant and courteous.

 

Unfortunately though, I'm convinced that they really don't have a great deal of power to make real decisions here, they really are intermediaries who purely follow instructions from above.

 

As for DCA's, well we all know what a bunch of brainless bully boy's they are, and today just proved it, they really don't know their heads from their little jelly filled toes!

 

We depart for Oz in 2 weeks and wish every single one of you luck and offer our support, we'll be watching from afar....

 

special thanks to Dar3n and saintly 1 for all your help, we'll have a tinny for you all.

 

G'day Matrah

I rang one of the numbers at the top of this thread - and a nice girl answered speaking from Canary Wharf, I think she probably gets a lot of grief on the phone from disgruntled Claimers. I was nice to her ( of course) and she was very helpful and even told me Barclays would be sending a Representative to my Court Hearing the next day and she wished me well.

[koalaattack]

Matrah - good luck in Oz, thanks for sharing your story.

 

Cheers,

hi everyone,

can someone help??

 

This is my first post on this site as i normally use MSE. I was advised by Dino at lit team to contact him a week before my hearing.... my hearing is next week so i contacted him today. I then recieved an out of office reply stating he did not know when he would come back. So in turn i tried to email each member and each came back as out of office. Is there any other way of contacting the team? the numbers i hold never seemed to get answered

 

Thanks

 

Max

I wouldn't bother. It seems like they've shut up shop. If you get through to anyone at the bank all they will do is tell you that they will send somebody to your hearing to request a stay or that all cases have been stayed.

 

If your hearing is definitely proceeding you need to be looking at ways of getting the case thrown out, or opposing a request for a stay and getting it heard.

 

Regards,

John.

[pjdavies2000]

From what I read in other posts they have all been told they have to go up to court and explain themselves!

 

I would imagine the B head office team have finally decided that letting the Lit team speak with us has caused them more grief then they would care to recieve - I imagine all the Lit Team have new email addys, and new phone numbers.

 

I think it may be easier for you to have an audience with the Pope than contact Dino now!

Hi MonkeyMax,

 

You'll get no joy from the Lit'n Team now, even if someone replied to you.

 

What Court are you due at and what type of hearing, Directions, Preliminary, etc.

 

Unless told otherwise by the Court, you must attend and you should be ready to challenge an attempt by the Bank's Rep to have your case stayed.

 

Hope you are prepared and good luck.

What do you all think the chances are of the Barclays Lit Team turning up at court IN PERSON? Thats what my Judge has ordered.

[enoughisenough]

This one's curious! if they don't turn up then they'll probably lose by default and open up the floodgates against. This will cost them a fortune to turn up and defend EVERY STAY. Interesting. So my guess is they'll turn up trying to defend stays in the hope that they win, in order to deter others. However it appears that the great British District Judges have had to just about up here with the banks. Don't be surprised if their stay gets thrown out. Equally don't be surprised if it's postponed until late September when the FSA (I think!) are reviewing the stay in light of pressure applied by us. Can't be sure how to post the link but you should look at the thread FSA to review stay! It's good stuff!

 

Best of luck, keep the faith, EIE.

[signa]

Thx for reply enoughisenough. Its a well-known name from Lit Team thats been summoned.

[signa]

Oh , and by the way - at the same court the

Barclays case heard before me was won by default.

[clubber]

Very interesting Signa, I have a 2nd hearing in sep before which B's have been ordered to file & serve further statements.May I ask which court you are in and when your hearing is? Yours sounds like it may be a bit of a landmark case , so to speak, I will be keeping up with your threads!

[enoughisenough]

Oh dear. That won't help their case! It just makes them look inept in front of the Judge. Pity it wasn't your case though!. Just keep going. THey still owe me for extras they applied during the litigation process. I won't give up even though I haven't filed on these extra charges. Neither should anyone else.

[signa]

I am at Bury Court. Hearing was Aug 15th.

[enoughisenough]

Excellent. seems the judge is not putting up with any of their nonsense. Bodes well IMHO!

[signa]

The cost of bringing him would be more than cost of my claim I expect - so hoping they wont bother sending him!

I am at Kingston Court next week (30th) for a allocation hearing. What will i need to take with me? i have an e mail from the lit team saying they would settle before the court date, should i take this? what are the chances it won't get stayed and what grounds can i ask it not to be stayed. Started this back in Feb

[monkeymax]

another thing....

Can i claim back more since my claim. I have had an extra £200+ in charges, interest has risen since i calculated it and i have to take a day off work to attend court?

 

or am i just being greedy?
