My reclaim thread

Well I have decided to reclaim my charges from barclays. (£1375)

I sent a letter to barclays just as the test case started a while ago and barclays have kept me updated on what is happening (vey nice of them)

when I found out you can get them reclaimed on grounds of financial hardship i thought I would write again.

I sent my letter on may 14th giving barclays 14days to reply.

27th May I recieved a reply, Barclys telling me I will recieve an answer before the 18th June 2009

Today letter dated 29th May I received budget planner so they can have more info about my fincial situation.

i have now filled this in an will be replying by recorded delivery.

my total disposable income for the month is -£32.19 :(

    I hope so, I need it,

    car is broken I'm moving in 2 weeks and I have just had the biggest gas and electric bill I have ever seen lol
  • On the gas and electricity bill, was it estimated? I would double check that and if you pay via DD then worth checking if you are in credit ;)
