I'm no expert in things really but i do have 36 years of experience in life, and some of those years fighting off bailiffs.

I've just been back to the Money Claim Online site and it accepted my request for a judgment at a minute past midnight on the 29th day after the claim was deemed to be served (5 days after its issue).
So I guess I have answered my own earlier question regarding 28 'clear' days.
The MCOL site states that my judgment request will be heard at 10.00am, so that's my next deadline...0 -
I have sent both of my letters to my local branch of BARCLAYS. My first letter having waited just over 2 weeks for a response was ignored. I sent my second letter and having waited just over 7 days for a response, that too was ignored. Letters and statements were sent rec delivery and Royal Mail have confirmed that they have been delivered. Is it now time to start the court process? I didnt think I would need to!

Hi,
I have had two claims with Barclays. The first (For just over £1,000) they dealt with very quickly and the money was in my account within 10 days.
The second claim (for £1400) they have completely ignored. However I did call them today and asked what was happening and they said an offer was in the post for £500, which of course I declined.
It is perhaps worth giving them a quick call to see if there is any progress with your case as a letter might be imminent or an offer might be made on the phone. If you get no joy, I would definitelyuse Moneyclaim and go for it.
I have a feeling the banks are waiting for the Ombudsman's ruling in the next couple of weeks and are using stalling tactics until then.
Good luck and go for it!0 -
I started my claim against Barclays in May last year & they have just paid up today. They have used every stalling tactic imaginable over what is a fairly modest amount compared to most claims (£381.00) & all correspondence from them was on the day of the deadline I had set or shortly afterwards.
My advice is to carry on according to your schedule as long as you are being reasonable. If a satisfactory offer is made you can always halt proceedings.0 -
Thanks to both of you. I will give them a ring and if I get no joy I will proceed with my schedule.

Hi
Not sure if I'm in the right place as it's the first time I've posted a message...
Anyway, I sent the first letter to Barclays Bank asking for £900 + interest. They offered me £430 in full and final settlement. I wrote back saying thanks but no thanks as I wanted the £900. They have written back saying they won't pay me the full amount but still offering the £430. Should I now file a court claim?0 -
Yes, thats the next step.0

Just when I thought I had got to the final hurdle, my request for a judgment by the MCOL system has been rejected.
Now what?
Has anyone else been to this point?0
