Deadlines for reclaiming?

Firstly I apologise if this question has already been asked. I've had a look and couldn't find the answer to my question so here goes:
I started trying to reclaim 3000 pounds from Barclays in February. They've done the usual stalling tactics and in May they made me an offer which I politely refused and confirmed to them that I will therefore be taking them to court. The problem I have now is I need to save 120 pounds for the court fees which will take me through til mid August.
Can anyone foresee this causing a problem proceeding with my claim? I wondered if there might be some rule where you have a limited amount of time to complete your case?
While I'm here I do actually have another question! I had statements going back 4 years (charges = 20909 pounds) I estimated the total going back 6 years being 3138 pounds. They have not disputed this higher amount in their response to me. When I take them to court should I go for the amount for the 6 years estimate or just the 4 years which I know is 100% accurate?
Any help would be appreciated.

  • unless contract law, which is the basis of your claim, exempts bank accounts from it, then you have no time limit. There is some people who are going beyond the 6 year limitations act.
    Personally i would get those additional statements for the two years you are missing. JMHO.
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009
