Well done that is great news to us all!
My only worry is that Barclays pre-empted our court action by playing dirty and saying they were looking into our complaint and then, dirty b++++++s sending a summons within 8 days of that letter. Dirty or what. Anyway that is just another nail in the coffin as that will be shown to HH Judge whover and we have all the letters to go in our court bundle. We still have not received the court date! My poor son is worrying himself sick as we are doing this on his behalf as he is ill. I was worried at the beginning but whilst apprehensive, I am ready for the fight! If Barclays follow through with their summons, they will surely be obliged to answer the questions we put to them and that was....I require Barclays bank to give me a full and complete breakdown of their unfair charges over the last six years from the statements you hold and that I have in my possession and How do you calculate your charges?

Ask the bank for every piece of information (relating to charges) they hold on you, there is a move afoot to now claim in excess of six years! see consumer action group for more details and if you like claim for six now but leave the door open to claim more (ie never ever sign any full and final clause !).

Which is handy because by the time you've actually dealt with my claim there will be no valid charges left on my account.

However, at least I will be able to put the money to good use, like a replacement hip or maybe a fancy Coffin with and a headstone that reads "I got my chages back in the end; Who's laughing now?"

The judge was trying it on by trying to rely on another county court case. I have no doubt it was the presence of Raymond Cox QC that prevented the judge from chucking out the case.

Anyway this Mr Cox is clearly a very good barrister:

Oh and I doubt very much there are going to be any trials. The parties will settle I expect.

While this is good news it is tempered by the fact that the decision was from a District Judge. While this does give room for tactical playing in view of the subject matter it will only extend the time for a final conclusion. What would be interesting is if the banks appeal this decision to the Circuit Judge and he then upholds the District Judge. If this was to happen then the banks would have to decide whether to risk a further appeal to the Court of Appeal. The reason being in this scenario if they did appeal to the Court of Appeal and lose they will have a binding precedent which all the other courts will have to follow. This would possibly mean that you could have the rather curious situation that the Court of Appeal holds that the case is arguable but when the claimants case is heard they lose so as a matter of law it is possible to argue that the charges are unfair but at trial the argument does not suceed. Of course this is based on the presumption that the matter does not go to the new Supreme Court which would drag things on even longer.
