I have sent a letter to Barclays requesting around 570 in charges.

They have replied, offering 270.

What do I do now... am I meant to accept as a part offer!?!?

I cant find a letter to say this!?!?

Send your next letter and say something like:

I accept this amount only as partial payment and will pursue for the remainder.

MY mum was doing the footwork to get my charges back from barkleys when i found they owed me 380£ so we wrote the second letter saying we would take 250£ and they wrote back saying no take us to court. then mum wrote back saying that unless they paid what had been asked then she and my dad would stop banking with them also. she got a letter today saying that they would pay 250£ nice1 thanks mum....

If you get a judgement. The court will write to your bank and tell them they must pay. The bank could get this set aside though, and continue their defence.

what do you mean 'set aside'.? the court told me on the phone that as long as i got request for judgment form sent in first, before they put in defence i would still be ok. and they are sending me another claim pack of some sort in the post today.

I wouldn't worry on all the possibilities at the moment. Wait for the form, apply for judgement, and wait to hear from the court.

Hello all

I posted the 1st templated letter to Barclays Bank on Friday 15th December asking for a list of charges or copy of statements from the last 6 years (my account was closed in about 2005).

I have had a letter back today (6th Jan), which goes as follows:

Dear Mr L

DATA PROTECTION ACT

We refer to your recent communication which was passed to this department for comment due to your request for certain information, relating to bank charges under the terms of the Data Protection Act ("the DPA").
Please be aware that the Bank is not under an obligation to present information according to any particular format. However, you may of course obtain data from copy statements and these will be supplied to you within the next few weeks without charge on this occasion. We wuld advise however. that statement information prior to 2000 is stored manually rather than on computer. Therefore, if your account was opened prior to this time, there may be an increase in the time required to collate the information you have requested. I apologise in advance should this delay be the cause of any inconvience to you.

Yours ...


Does this sound like they are stalling? In the letter it only asked for 6 years of statements - so theres no need to look back as far as 2000?

Help anyone!!! Shall I send a reply?

You don't need to reply. They are saying they will send you out your statements. You only have to do anything if you don't receive your statements within 40 days.

This morning we have received notification that Barclays are defending my daughter's claim and the proceedings have been transferred to our local county court. She will have to pay a further £100. Has anyone ever got this far and actually had to go to court? We are shaking!!
She inadvertantly hadn't stated her bank account in the court claim form and they mention this in their defence and she also stated that what the bank was doing "was part of a profitable scheme that unduly enriches the defendant", which of course they are defending.
Do you think they'll actually go to court, and do you think we should tick the box asking for a 1 month postponement so that 'a settlement can be reached by informal discussion' ? Please someone put our minds at rest.......

Don't panic! Many people have got further than this stage without going into a court hearing.

See post #8 in THIS THREAD for a guide to filling in the form. I haven't fully updated this to include wording for section G yet, so it may be worth a view over at https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk for their suggestions on this section.

This is the reply I gave about section G a little while ago.............

For section G, you have a couple of choices. Over at CAG, they have some suggested wording for this on their guide to completing this form. There is also a different idea for this posted in THIS THREAD. This second suggestion looks very good, but requires a bit more understanding and work on your part. I would recommend the second suggestion, but I also recommend you read up and understand what this requires of you.
