    Hi,

    I sent my first letter to Barclays on 11/04/08 and had the cheque cashed on the 19/04/08 but I have still not received anything through the post(e.g list of my charges or even a confirmation that they have received the letter).

    As the cheque was cashed over 10 days ago now do you think I should try to get in touch to see what is happening or hold out until the 40 days deadline has passed? Any help much appreciated.

    Cheers,
    malarky

    Yes, you are okay claiming from a closed account and as your loan is a different agreement from the bank account you once had they can't demand you pay this back on the strength of your claim on the closed account.

    I sent the template letter to Barclays & got my statements back. Totted up the charges, and put in my claim, recorded delivery, but Barclays haven't replied at all! and its months ago now. Do I chase them for a response or what? Can anyone help me with this? :confused:

    hi. i watched gmtv, and decided to follow Martin's advice and get in line.i rang up barclays and asked for a list of my charges. they charged me 5 quid and i went through my statements and found ive paid £740 in charges in around 2.5 years. prior to that i never had any charges. a few questions.im gonna write out my letter by hand cause my printer went and broke, do i need to make a photocopy of my charges to attach with my letter (which i dont fancy cause if i go to the library for photocopys they'll be able to see my private info) or can i just write out the date and amounts of each charge on a seperate bit of paper?also i havent opened up another account yet, do i really need to? is it likely Barclays will close my account or withdraw my overdraft?also what is the chance we will have a positive outcome when this courtcase ends?
  • Im about to send the charge reclaim letter off, just a quick one, does the letter get sent to the bank which you set the account up in?

    Aaron,

    I have just about gone past the process you have with Barclays. I sent my 1st reclaim letter off last month, got my expected response within the 14 days, stating that they are logging the claim/complaint, and not dealing with anything until the test case is over.

    They also enclosed a seperate slip of paper with the letter mentioning the next key date in the case - 22nd May, the deadline for when the banks can appeal or not.

    I sent my 1st reclaim letter to my local branch (the one I set the account up in) and and didn't have any problems with the response I got, so i'd roll with that if I were you.

    Cheers
  • Phil0250,

    thanks for that, sending it off tomorrow :D

    I have taken the advice given on here, and phoned Barclays, no mention of any charge for requesting the details and told that i would recieve them within 5 working days, so thats the first stage done for me.
    Thankyou Sir Alex for 26 years

    Hi, it used to be 10£. I sent in my chq. - they rerturned it - with the info asked for, with a note saing "the service is FOC."
    Bit amazing for Barclays I thought after how theyve ripped thousands out of me over the years - but I wasn't going to argue !
