It's taking too long

Hi All,

I feel like I'm the most unfortunate person reclaiming bank charges. I have started this last year, and finally yesterday I had my court date. Barclays did not try to settle before the court nor did they turn up. Yet, my case was not hear due to the case before me. I waited 2 hours to be told that I will have to come in again. And of course I have to wait for a new letter and new date from the court. I'm so tired of this, I just wish it would be all over now. Makes me feel that it just giving barclays more time.

:-(

    Just remember that “the wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind exceeding small.”

    Have a read of the Reclaimed Bank Charges Success Stories and Reclaimed Bank Charges Success Stories II threads for inspiration.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    DONT GIVE UP!

    This is the only reason the bank has taken you to court! They hope that you will be put off by the whole process! Have you tried ringing Barclays? They are known for settling, in full, in hours once you have a court date!
    Got It & Spent It :dance:
    IKEA CARD = £120 charges = £175 received (146%)
    MARBLES = £450 charges = £370 received (82%)
    I.F. = £494 charges = £494 received (100%)
    CAPITAL ONE = £981 charges = £1,489.03 (152%)
    BARCLAYCARD = £580 charges = £786.12 (136%)
    On Hold :mad:
    A+L = £722 charges (target = 147%)
    BARCLAYS = £1,405 charges (target = 128%)
    BARCLAYS = £175 charges (target = 140%)
    ABBEY = £3,220 charges (target = 148%)

    Thank you LozBingley and Stephen Leak, I know I have to patience. I'll keep waiting. Will give Barclays a call once I get my new court date. Or do you think I should call them before that?

    many thanks

    Its possible you will get an offer before the new hearing date. Either way, chin up, you will get there in the end :)
