Welcome aboard voestik

 

They're not winning, of that you can be sure, you would have heard if they had.

 

I think that either

1) people are getting their money back with confidentiality attached

2) people are getting their money back, and can't be bothered telling us

3) people are not getting their money back yet, because Barclays are holding on to our money for as long as they possibly can, hoping that some will give up after getting cold feet. Sound familiar?

 

Let's look at this rationally for one moment:

 

Possibilities for winning:

1) Bank pays up at 1st letter

2) bank pays up at 2nd letter

3) bank pays up at claim issuing stage

4) before acknowledgement of service

5) after acknowldegement of service

6) before lodging a defense

7) after lodging a defense

8 ) at allocation questionnaire time

9) after allocation questionnaire, but before hearing,

10) any time between hearing date set and actual hearing

11) on court steps.... Or

12) bank goes in hearing, gets trounced.

 

Possibilities for losing:

1) bank goes in hearing, you lose.

2) Er, that's it.

There is another possibilty for 'losing'. Claimants are put-off, scared-off or can't be bothered to see their 'fight' through to the end.

 

Reading many of the posts, a lot of contributors appear to be far more intelligent and have far more nouse than myself when it comes to legal issues and they make the process sound simple and a 'dead cert'.

 

It takes time to read the library, do the research, understand the infomation presented and to do the work involved. It took me three hours this morning just to glean the information I required from six years worth of bank statements; and about another hour to input it into the spread sheet; and I'm a touch-typist!

 

It's Sunday, and I have other family commitments that I've set-aside.

 

I can see why some people will accept a lower amount, or give up all-together.

 

I won't though; I'm a tight-fisted Geordie git!

Data Protection Act sent to Barclays Bank 15 May 06.

 

Bank statements received 9 May 06. Owed £610 in charges and £31.96 in interest.

 

Prelim letter sent 15 Jun 06.

 

Letter Before Action sent 26 Jun 06.

I got my money back after sending the DPA - it was only a couple of hundred pounds though.

I am absolutely sure they are not winning and I am prepared to go all the way. I have rejected part payment and currently, my claim has been filed and acknowledged. In fact, I will say I am quite looking forward to go to court if it gets that far.

But I am curious - Why is it that Barclays claimants are not reporting back???? Claimants from other banks seem to be reporting.

Me too, full setllement including costs.

 

I got a letter there about 2 weeks ago in which they agreed to pay up in full. Wanted to actually see the cheque myself before posting here though. It arrived last week while I was on holidays. My account was closed a few years ago so they couldnt credit the £932 to my account like they wanted to. So they made an exception in my case I think. I got my money by filing a 'judgement by default' against them.

Great news for you 2 posters.

 

Shows that they are not exempt from paying back what they stole !!!

 

Great news tho for all the prospective/current Barclays claimants.

 

 

Good luck with any others !

Still waiting for my responce from the 2nd reminder. tomorrow I think i will put a complaint in that they haven't acknowledged reciept of my letter i did that for the microfiche and i got it twice the next day for free. I think if you complain about the slow service they want to try and keep you sweet and speed there 'dedicated' complaints team into gear

Like the judge's comments - shows that he/she feels that the bank are going to have to justify the charges both in terms of reasonableness and as a representation of their costs - and of course we and they know that they can't do that :)

As expected, Barclays filed their standard defence at the very last minute. I was hovering, waiting to click and win by default. But alas.. I guess its court Allocation questionnaire time...

Yep, got my claim settled via phone. See other posts, but needless to say like above i had my allocation form ready to go and spoke to them via phone and the offered to settle.

 

Just hang in there everyone. It is a game of chicken as far as Barclays are concerned.

\"I Think you\'ll find our charges are fair and laid out in our terms and conditions Mr Butler....\"

Barclays' ploy seems to be to drag it out for as long as possible before paying out. However, I assume we are all claiming interest (8%pa) on a daily basis (0.022%) up to date of judgement/settlement. So, my question - Are those receiving full settelment insisting on getting interest up to the day the claim is paid??? If not, I think, they should. Thoughts???
