hi everyone back in march/april i started a claim with barclays for £2300 ( inc 8% interest) going with the human argument. today i recieved a letter saying that they wont refund the charges as people in financial hardship do not shop in jjb ect ! i accept this however 90% of my money was going to bills and debts.
they did add that they would refund £308 of charges that incured after i stopped using the account,( but only to pay towards the said account which is being dealt with by a DMP) so today i called them and politley declined the offer while asking them to re asses the case.
The question is will i get anywhere with them, or should i have accepted the offer? ive been looking but there are not many success cases latley ?!?

there are no success cases nowadays. Just goodwill payments.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
I doubt you will get anywhere. As they have pointed out it doesn't sound like you were in financial hardship - 90% on bills and debts would leave you 10% left over which people in actual financial hardship wouldn't have. Am actually quite surprised they have offered anything in the circumstances as they have no obligation to.0
