I am trying to reclaim over £2000 from Barclays and have got to the point where I am awaiting my court date. Everyone I have spoken to at Barclays litigation department have been very helpful and have told me that they intend to settle when I get a date. However, this process has taken many months, so my husband, who is trying to claim £1,500 from Barclays has decided to take his claim to the financial ombudsman rather than the county court. Both processes seem to be very lengthy but I will use whicher process is the quickest and most effective when I get to this point with my claim on our joint account!!

Thankyou Martin for all your help. This is a brilliant site.

You can send it to your branch I did, they forward them on to the relevant departments

I have to change the court date cos it's during my honeymoon mind you!

Is there still a chance they will settle before the actual date or is the hearing likely?

:rolleyes: What do I need to prepare for a directions hearing?

Do I need to send anything to them now?

What are my overall chances do you reckon?!!

Hi Hennups

Firstly, don't worry this is just a Directions.
If you are not going to be able to attend, you can send in a written response as there is unlikely to be another opening for some time and a postponement will mean it drags on for quite a few extra months.

:rolleyes: What do I need to prepare for a directions hearing?

First of all, check with the court correspondence and see if it has specifically asked for either party to submit anything by a certain date.
If the answer is yes, post the Order details on here.
If the answer is no, you should take the following:

Bank statements & schedule of charges (in case they want to settle)
Allocation hearing Witness Statement
Draft order for directions &
Reason's why they should be ordered
Copy of this order - page 1 & page 2 (to demonstrate that other courts are already routinely ordering those directions in small claims cases)
Statement of evidence (to refer to if necessary)
*Copy of the text of the Lincoln 'abuse' order
*List of settled cases

*Optional - take if you want to show it to the judge and politely suggest that a similar order may be appropriate in your claim.

Do I need to send anything to them now?

First of all, check with the court correspondence and see if it has specifically asked for either party to submit anything by a certain date.
If the answer is yes, post the Order details on here and we can tell you if you need to do anything pre-hearing.

The main purpose of these hearings is for the judge to make directions or other orders, narrow the issues, and otherwise decide how the claim is to proceed. The exact reason for a Prelim hearing should be stated at the top of the order.

You won't need your full bundle for any of the above hearings - its not the 'final' hearing so you won't have to argue your case as such. However, it is a good idea to make sure you brush up your knowledge of the basis of your claim, in case any of the issues are discussed or the judge asks you any general questions. The judge could also attempt to get the parties to agree to a settlement at these types of hearings.

Hi we are quite early on in reclaiming and have sent the statements to Barclays using the template letter which states that they have 14 days to respond. They have replied saying it will take a while to look into the claim. What do I do next is there a timeframe they have to stick to? Thanks
