  • Well done!

    Barclays just acknowledged my claim yesterday so no doubt I will be receiving a defence in a couple of weeks.

  • i will have another 130 since claiming back ( due to my error granted but now rectified) is this worth claiming back as i have already had over 500 but this was after that
