F.A.O Barclays Bank customers - re Bank Charges Complaints

Phil0250

Hello all, this is mainly aimed at Barclays customers..I was just wondering if anybody, like myself has recently received a letter from Barclays Current Accounts with an update on the bank charges case in the High Court??

I got one about a couple of weeks ago, without giving you the entire content on here, it covered areas like:

- What is happening with the OFT v Barclays and Others in the High Court
- What the first trial was about
- What the judgment said
- What happens next (with the Case Management conference obviously taking place between 7 - 9th July..)
- What this all means to my complaint (basically they just reiterated the fact that my case remains on hold - and that banks will continue to ask County & Sheriff courts to keep cases relating to unauthorised charges on overdrafts on hold until test case process in concluded)
- Further help - (Stating that I have the right to utilise the F.O.S - but that they will still not be acting on any complaints until the legal proceedings between banks and the OFT have been concluded).
- Further information (they provided a website with a copy of the full judgment)

And it concludes with them saying 'Thank you once again for your patience'. I don't know whether I should feel encouraged that Barclays are sending letters to this effect? keeping you updated on the test case... what I will say is though, that Barclays are saying that "the banks are pleased that the court has agreed that their current charges are not unenforcable penalties".

all banks are issuing letters and yes other barclays claimants would have received one.
