Had a reply from the court today saying that the judge has looked at my letter requesting that the stay being removed & he is not willing to lift the stay. AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Oh well, **** happens

Thanx Zootscoot. xx

Hiya, I recieved a letter from Liverpool County Court advising that my case, due to be heard on 8th October 2007 is going to be stayed until 31st March 2008. I've just realised that I need to inform the court within 7 days of it's service to vary or set aside. The stay was put in place on 10th September so I am cutting it fine and am going to send my objection letter today!! Do I need to send my objection of stay letter to Barclays as well?

Got my £50.00

I have a 'Breach of The Data Protection Act' case ongoing & I e-mailed Sharon Daboul (who was dealing with my case) advising that I would withdraw my proceedings if Barclays refunded my court costs (£30). That's all am claiming on this case (I have a bank charges one as well, but we all know the situation there). I received a e-mail back which was not meant for me but for another member of Barclays staff!! I e-mailed Sharon back saying, "I assume that e-mail was not for me and also that I would like to add £20 for postage costs". I received an e-mail back from Rosmary Treves Brown saying that she will refund my court costs of £30 to my Barclays account within 48hrs if I send a letter to Barclays advising that I have withdrawn my case with the court. I e-mailed her back saying that I will accept £50 into a bank account of my choice by Friday & she has got back to me with an e-mail which I assume is an attempt to scare me. It says that " I just point out that you have chosen to issue proceedings against the bank which you are keen to withdraw. The usual rule on a claimant withdrawing proceedings which they has begun is that you pay our costs, which would include my time, and the paralegal's time in preparing a defence to your claim, logging it and discussing it with me. This amounts to several hundred pounds. Instead, we, the defendant to this wholly unwarranted matter, are agreeing to pay your court fee in relation to the claim you brought against us which you now wish to abandon. You are now seeking another £20 in postage costs. She then again offered me £30 into my Barclays account within 48 hours of me informing the court I have withdrawn proceedings. I have e- mailed her back advising that I must correct her in the statement that I am 'keen to withdraw my proeedings', I contacted them to save my time & money & theirs. I also said that I don't believe I am being unreasonable by asking for £20 postage as this does not reflect my true costs. This has been going on since March so all letters have gone 1st class recorded, at least 60p, my time, petrol, printer ink etc . . . I also pointed out that I will also be claiming for my loss of pay for attending court because I am more than willing to go ahead so £20 is definately not unreasonable. I reiterated that I want it to go to an account of my choice because i no longer hold a Barclays account. I await her reply.

Cheeky!!! That's what I think of Barclays Litigation team!!!

My claims have gone as normal. Got the full amount back from Egg & Natwest & I am in the process of a case with Barclays. They can't use a DMP against you, after all you are taking steps to pay your debts back.

Hiya, I am on a debt management plan as well & I won against Egg & Natwest. I am in the process of claiming against Barclays. The probability is that you are on a debt management because of the extortionate charges you have incurred!!! Definately Claim. Smiley Scouser xx

Got my court date today which is 8th October. Paul Quinn is dealing with my ase but does NOT respond to e-mails so I e-mailed Dino & he replied with " As you've probably seen from recent media reports, Barclays are now contesting all bank charges claims. Paul will not be looking to settle your claim but will look to have it stayed until the outcome of any test case." I'm not a happy bunny

I have a court date of 8th October & thought I would try my luck about settling!! I e-mailed the non-existant Paul Quinn who is dealing with my case & I also e-mailed the delightful Dino because he is the only one who ever seems to get back to anybody, anyway, lo & behold I only received a reply from Dino. It said " As you've probably seen from recent media reports, Barclays are now contesting all bank charges claims. Paul will not be looking to settle your claim but will look to have it stayed until the outcome of any test case. " HOW RUDE!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't receive mine within the 40 days either, I sent a non compliance letter which was ignored. I then sent a letter telling them that I was going to get a court order against them, still nothing. I sent a letter to the Information Commisioner and filed a claim for Non Compliance. I received my statements not long after I filed my claim. I have kept the claim going because Barclays have denied breaching the DPA and have asked in their defence that I prove it, no problem for me, all letters I have received from Barclays are dated, this is proof enough!!! File a claim against them, it'll cost £30 but you'll get it back eventually.

I decided to e-mail Dino before to find out who is dealing with my claims. I have one Data Protection Claim on the go & obviously another one for my charges. Barclays have filed their defences but I do not have a court date as yet. I called the court this morning & was told that I should call back on Monday or Tuesday of next week & they will have allocated a date for the hearing. I'm trying to get the money before my holiday in a couple of weeks but it's looking doubtful Dino got back to me within about 45 mins & advised me that Sharon Daboul is dealing with one case & Paul Quinn is dealing with another. I e-mailed Sharon & got an out of office reply, however, a Paul Haut is dealing with her cases. I e-mailed Paul Haut & he got back to me within a couple of hours & said as soon as I get a court date, e-mail him & he will update the file & let me know the bank's position. As for Paul Quinn's reply. NOTHING. Not even an acknowledgement. Very Rude.

I love it, got a letter throught the post with a cheque for the full amount. The letter just says "It's not worth us going to court, here's a cheque, keep quiet!!!" Good Luck Everyone, you WILL win xx

You've all really put my mind at rest. Marg, I will watch your post as well seeing as we are at the same stage. Good Luck xx

Oh right, thanx for that xx
