Barclays Bank (merged)

MRSMCAWBER

Hi there
we have just received a letter with the Allocation questionnaire...can someone give me an idea of how long after sending it back to the court, you were hearing about a court date..and roughly how far away was the date?
Only we are leaving the country at the end of the month (we know there is virtually no chance of getting a date before that)....but have seen quite a few people saying that once you have a court date it is worth ringing Barclays to see if they will increase the offer...
Also we are claiming approx £1700 but it says we need to pay £100 on the filling out of the questionaire...any one know why?
And finally :-)..when i was searching through the boards a while ago someone had given out the phone number of a lady working for barclays, i believe that they suggested to ring to see about getting an increased offer..anyone point me in the right direction?
many thanks jill

HI GUYS

Just to let you all know am typing this with matches in eyes keeping them open :rotfl: have stayed up to request judgment by default as Barclays havent acknowledge any of my two claims.

Has anyone else had this happen?????

What happens from now on??? any help would be gratefully recieved!!!

Is it time for a :beer: or am I being to presumptious????

Have asked for payment by the 14/06/07 :j

Will keep you all posted on what happens but would be really really grateful for any advise in the meantime.

Best regards
Old and skints other half (he's snoring):D

barclays acknowlaged the claim what a suprise

I was claiming £655+ Interest from Barclays and 1 day past the court proceedings deadline I recieved a letter offering me £490 which I have gladly accepted.

Good luck to everyone still claiming

Just waiting for them to pay it in !!!

Standard reply from Barclays, send off the LBA, letter before action, and follow your timescale from Martin's article.

Also posted on the Successes thread:


Bank: Barclays
Amount Reclaimed: £1800
Amount they paid: £1800
The story:
followed the steps in the article, they offered £1000 we rejected and logged a claim online. They acknowledged and defended so we got a court date through for July. However the judge asked the defendent to supply a list of the charges being claimed and justification for these one month prior to the court date - what a clever man!!! So, here we are 1 week before Barclays had to submit this info and they settled!! Just in time for our holidays - hurrah!!!!
