Barclays Bank (merged)

dorothy_of_oz

Hi this is my first time using this thread so please bear with me!
I have a couple of questions and hoping that someone will be able to advise me.
I've sent off my letter to Barclays but I sent it to the last address on my statements. I left the Bank in 2004. I enclosed my cheque for £10. However, I've just noticed the Barclays Data Protection address. Should I re-write to them or just wait and see if they reply from the first address?
My other query is that with time running out, I have totalled up charges and interest over a 2 year period to £235 as I only have statements for that period. That's why I wrote to them for statements going back further. Should I apply for that whilst I'm waiting to see if I get a reply or just wait and do it all together.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi again

Looks like Barclays are going to go all the way with this one!!

For the N1 form, I need to know what address for Barclays do I put in? Do I use the main branch where I live (which is actually my branch anyway) or is there some head office like address thats up the line I need to send to?

Thanks for your help

Hello All

I went to court today against Barclays. I have followed each of the steps through as guided by the site, I was offered £300 initially but rejected it as my claim was for £800. I was always hoping that a better offer would come through but nothing arrived in the post on Saturday so off I went to court today. I felt confident as I am not the defendant, nothing was going to happen to me and the worse thing that the bank can do to me is close my account and as suggested I have opened another one ready.

So I arrived for my 10.30am hearing on my own and was surprised to read that for court 6 that I was due to go into that there were 10 other claimants ready to do exactly the same thing, 3 had brought a legal person, maybe there cases were larger I do not know but 3 of us went for it alone, 4 did not show, maybe the occasion was too much for them. The cases were against Barclays as well as others, no banks turned up to any, we all went into the court and each had our turn.

The facts were there, heres my bank statements, this what they have taken, I agree that I have not looked after my account, that I do not disagree with, but I used Martins words and said that the amount that they took is not proportionate to the work of an automated letter and franked envelope, the judge asked what did I feel would be appropriate and I said £2.50, which he agreed, so my 38 payments were timesed £2.50 and that was taken off of my claimed amount and I was awarded my £800 there abouts as I had paid £80 in fees to the court. They were pleasing words to my ears when he said I find the judgement in your favour, the verdict will come in writing, I will write to my bank giving them 7 days to pay and if they do not I will instruct bailiffs to get the money back for me. The judge said I would probably have to get the bailiffs in.

The judge seemed fair and obviously been through this many times previously, so do not worry, go for it, I went to work for 8.30am left at 9.45am saying I had a appointment and would be back asap, my court hearing was for 10.30am and I was finished by 11am and that was with 2 people being seen before me, I left and was back at work for 11.30am with no one any the wiser of my adventures.

You really have nothing to lose. This sight has been marvelous as whenever I felt in doubt I would return and read some useful fact and see that someone has already been there and done it.

Nice one. Weldone for not folding under pressure, nice to see someone has got the balls big enough to stand up against the banks.
