You can reply saying you will accept the amount as a partial payment but that you will be taking them to court for the rest. Its up to you.

I have won!
Barclays have paid up in full with court costs and interest 14 days before due in court!

Took 7 months in total.

Keep going guys and girls!

Hello

Just confused as to what court name I insert at the end of the following passage:
This is based on the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations, as I believe these default charges are unfair and not proportionate to your costs, and therefore the [INSERT NAME OF COURT] court will rule in my favour.

Is it the small claims court, or county court or something else I'm missing? Sorry if I'm being a bit dense...

Cheers in advance for any help.

The name of your local county court.

Hi everyone.
I've been using this site for years but only just signed up for the forums..go easy on me!
I'm starting an online diary here...so you can monitor my progress with the reclaiming of bank charges.
19th Nov 2006..sent letter to Barclays requesting 6 years of statements, £10 cheque enclosed.
24th Nov 2006..received 6 years statements..and my £10 cheque returned saying that there was no charge for the service.
Today, 10th Dec 2006..just managed to sit and trawl through my statements for 2 accounts..only took and hour to find all the charges..just look for "@".
Spent another 2 hours adding up the charges, working out the interest using the calculator on this site...and I feel guilty that I allowed my account to get so bad! (£4,445.07 charges inc. interest @ 8%)
Anyway, I've got nothing to lose have I?
I've already started the ball rolling with Natwest by opening new accounts there, just in case Barclays decide to close my accounts suddenly.
Tomorrow I'll photocopy my statements (I've marked all the charges) and send them to the bank with letter number 2.
I'll keep you all informed of the progress.
What are my chances of getting ALL my money back my Christmas? Lol

I handed my claim against Barclays into Northampton County court on fri 8th Dec for £3000 inc. interest. They made an offer of £1000. Temping just before xmas but i want my money back, and i am going to get it back. So just sitting around now waiting for Postman Pat or the phone to ring. (my birthday monday something would be nice)

Has anyone ever known Barclays to go all the way to court?
This is my first post by the way. This site is fantastic, could not have done this without the help of everyone.

Just sat down for last 2 hours going through 6 years worth of statements and entering data into Excel, I've highlighted the charges on the statements and separated the relevant pages, I'll send a copy of the excel sheet and the statements tomorrow with the initial letter (charges were £2270 from Feb 01, had a few throughout 2000 but they go outside of the 6 year cut off so I've only included fees from 10/Dec/00 (first charge was Feb 2001 after that date))
Fingers crossed etc...

So, I am unsure of what to do next. I have read all the relevant stuff, but I'm not sure that its going to work.
Firstly I asked Barclays if they would provide me with my statements- I included the £10, they responded pretty quickly. However all statements were not there, and in the accompanying letter it said that the rest are on microfiche and that I would have to pay £3 per statement. So, someone on here told that I should send a second letter using the templates. Today I have just received their response, basically says that they have already told me I have to pay, and because it is on microfiche and not in any particualr order its "not readily accesible within the meaning of the Data Protection Act" Goes on to say that if I am not happy that I should contact the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Now I know that there is another letter I can send them, but is it worth it- they seem like they're not gonna budge on this one.

dont let them charge you £3 per statment, I got 6 years worth of statments off barclays for £5 and they never even took the money anyway.
