Anyone having trouble getting statements from barclaycard should try sending a letter headed subject access request demanding all data held on their account.Explain that under the Data Protection Act it is their duty to furnish you with this information and any nonsense will result in a complaint to the information commisioner Put your email address on the letter and you will probably get an email within days offering all your statements for free(as has just happened to me!) 8)

Having successfully knobbled Abbey, I have started preliminary skirmishes with barclaycard.So far I've requested a full schedule of charges for the last six years under the DPA and that they are required for a possible coutrt case.I have informed them this can only be charged a tenner for.I have also outlined my case as far as the charges are in my view not reflective of the damages to the bank by my breach of contract and therefore constitute a penalty making them unenforceable.They have repiled firstly saying that they do not agree with my legal analysis and that secondly they can only provide a schedule of charges for the last six months , any further statements will be charged at 3.00 per sheet. How can I force them to give me details of my charges and has anyone been down this road with barclaycard already?

they filed a defence with the court , interestingly it is word for word the same as the defence filed in the cases of several other people who have been through the process. We could assume that abbey's current strategy in these cases is to try and play for time as much time as possible in an attempt to first scare off people and then negotiate right up to the wire before coughing up in the face of having a court ruling against them.

Hi all, just got letter from abbey's solicitors confirming settlement for 2700 in paid charges.To cut a long story short, I initially filed on nov 19 , claiming back all paid charges for the last two years totalling 2738.88 inc interest. Abbey responded 09/12/2005 saying they intended to defend the entire claim. on 9 jan 2006 got letter offering 50/50/ settlement, I respond saying no , but will settle for 2700 in reutrn for prompt payment. 18 jan got letter confirming 2700 to be paid. I hope this offers some confidence to those thinking about or currently takin court action.While I am here I would like to say that at the time I was having difficulty financially and incurring these charges, abbey's local branch (bridgwater , somerset) were totally uninterested in offering any type of help and the attitude of the manager and counter staff was to look down their noses and wash their hands of the situation. They are some of the thickest and most incompetent drones I have ever had the misfortune to come across. Now that the boot is on the other foot , I would love to see the look on the manager' s face when I stand outside the branch handing out copies of the letter from their own solicitor paying me back ALL of the charges that a year ago she told me were abbey's god given right to apply!!!!
