Bank charges

Am very new to all this - need help urgently over threatening letter from Barclays re my claim case.
brief history - used MSE template Feb 07 to reclaim charges - messed about by Barcalys replying from London then Leicester then London etc. Started Court action online May 07 - transfered to local CC June 07 - Court order issued Aug07 giving Barclays until 17 Oct 07 to respond - reply received in Court from Barclays 23 Oct07. Court rejected my order of judgement and awarded Barclays a stay.
Dec 08 wrote to barclays asking to settle under hardship waiver - denied citing 8 Oct08 ruling that I am claiming charges on a business account.
The account was me t/a .... and was my only account and used for personal use ie giving cheques to family members for birthdays,dd to sky, gas elect. Wrote again to Barclays asking them to settle half claim. No reply
Have now had a letter 22 Apr09 threatening that if I do not withdraw my claim within 14 days they will ask court to strike claim out and ask for costs. They are citing a case 20 March 09 Salford CC - DJ Relph where they were successful in getting a claim struck out and were awarded £1000 costs.

HELP do I withdraw ?

    MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    I think I might have answered you but if not apologies. Can you post your Particulars of claim on this thread please?
    The letter is fairly standard IMHO>
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009
