Write to the bank and say you are accepting this in part payment and without prejudice but will be continuing with court action for the remainder of your claim.

Hi

I have received what seems to be the usual letter from Barclays saying they are looking in to my complaint, I am aware from what I have read on this site that I need to work to my time scale and not their's. I am now preparing my second letter with regards to court action however I am unsure which court I need to put in to the letter, would this be any local county court in my area?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Yes...........

If your claim is more than £1500 I think, you have to pay a further £100 court costs but this along with your £120 can be claimed back now along with the 8% interest as you have reached the court stage.

You'll find the guide to the AQ in the Reclaim Help Thread and of course you have to carry on!

Hi, I hope I'm writing this in the correct category. My question is a complicated one. At the beginning of December last year I requested my six years statements/charges details. Two weeks later they wrote and said there was a charge for this of £5 which we went down and paid on the 20th. A couple of weeks later when we enquired about the charges/statements we were told we couldn't get them because we hadn't paid for them. We took the reciept to our branch to show them and they explained there was a mix up because we'd paid this with cash, not to worry our 6 years' statements were on the way. We eventually got them at the beginning of February. We counted the charges, added the interest and sent the letter off. I had a phone call two days ago and a confirming letter today with an offer of all the charges going back to 6th February 6 years ago, minus the interest. This comes to £306. i.e. Six years back from the date they recieved our letter. Should I argue the point that if they'd sent us the charge details a bit sooner, with none of their mix-up about if/when we'd paid the £5 that we'd also be able to claim the charges we got in December six years ago which are over £75? After all, it was their mistakes that caused the delay in the first place and the mix-up cost us a month longer in waiting for our details. I should add that we requested details from our other bank account at the same time and we're still waiting for the statements for that. They sent us 144 pages of statements from that account going back only one year and said the rest would follow. We now have an unbelievable 5 piles of identical statements for that account which only cover Dec 2005 to Dec 2006. They've even apologised and refunded the fiver for that one because of the mistakes and I'm still waiting for the full 6 years details.
