Talking Court Next week! **ANOTHER BARCLAYS WON**

I will update this as I go, I have just asked for my last 6 years statements and can tell Im going to need a lot of highlighters!

I have had a few overdraft charges etc that have been around the £60 mark so this could be interesting.

Dates:
06/03/2006 - Statements ordered
10/03/2006 - Statements arrived: All on A4 sheets and only charge £5 for the lot
06/04/2006 - Sorry took ages to set up my new account, sent off 1st letter special delivery today. 14 days and counting. Forgot to say, charges just over £2000
08/04/2006 - Recieved letter to say sorry they are unhappy and my comments are being dealt with
12/04/2006 - Sent off Data Protection Act letter asking for information on manual interventions as I worked out my above amount from statements.
15/04/2006 - Recived cheque back and letter saying they are sorting out statements and that they dont know what manual intervention is
21/04/2006 - Sent of Letter before action, also sent off reply about the manual intervention explaining what it is.
09/05/2006 - claim started on moneyclaim
25/5/06 - Its been acknowledged

Default Recieved statement, what do the charges look like?

Is it the bit that says paid referal 1 @ £20?

Also have another that says unpaids out 1 @ 30

Default I didnt do a Data Protection Act letter, just worked it out from statements, do i need to do a DPA?

Seen all the mention of manual intervention, I just worked out all my charges on my account. Do I then need to check manual interventions as well with the Data Protection Act letter? Ive already sent off my first letter

It is always worth doing - but there is no reason why you cannot commence the process for repayment immediately. The only time you will need the manual intervention evidence is if they decide to defend your claim in court.

Default I didnt include interest in my first letter, was this right?

I read on here somewhere not to put the interest charges worked out (using the excel doc) in the first letter. was this correct? And do I then add them in for the notice Ill be taking court action letter?

Im reading it all but think I may have messed up on the interest payments now, which equal £458!

You do not add the interest until you are filing a claim in court .The letter before action informs them that if it goes that far that you will be claiming the interest.

Default cheque payable to?

already started a claim but as advised Im going to send off a Data Protection Act letter to check for manual interventions, pretty sure I havent had any as all Ive ever had is go over drawn and the usual automatic fees and also the same for blocked or accepted D-debits

Anyway who do I make the £10 cheque payable to? Im guessing "Barclays Bank PLC"?

Default changed a bit on the Data Protection Act letter as Ive started my claim, this sound ok?

I enclose the statutory maximum fee of £10. You have 40 days in which to comply.
As you may note I have already started a claim for the disproportionate penalties against me but would now like to confirm any manual interventions on my account as to make the process much easier for both you and myself should this reach the courts.


Hows that sound?

Not too good, if you want me to be brutally honest.

From a form point of view, punctuation is a necessity.
From a sense point of view, 1 - you want THEM to confirm manual intervention. 2 - How is confirming manual intervention going to make things easier in court?

Finally, I've just had to go through all your posts to understand what's going on with your claim, and I notice you're starting a new thread every time you have a query, when it's all part of the one claim. Please don't do that, stay on one thread. I'm now going to have to go and join them all, which is time consuming.
