    I am claiming from them too and my first letter went out in feb, they have now filed their defence which I got a copy of this morning and the court date is the 16th of this month, I am claiming £2176 + £236 interest + £120 court fees, they don't seem to be letting out, I only got one offer from them to settle at £374.00 which I refused. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they pay out in the end, God!! it's been one hell of a journey with them, can't wait!!!!

    They are wrong and you are right! They are trying to stop you from getting the money they owe you! The whole point is that that £50 charge has cost them about £5 (or even far less as its automated) and they are making £45 profit per charge, making a profit on the charge is what's unlawful! They know it and so do you (now;)).
    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%)
