How do i change the heading of my thread???

Last week I go my letter through for a preliminary hearing on 6 February. I called Barclays today to ask if they want to settle. They took my number and told me they will get back to me. They also took the details of the hearing. I have not heard anything back yet. Do they normally take their time in getting back to you. Should i call again this afternoon if i haven't heard anything?

Thank you for your replies. Excited and worried at the same time. It has been a long winded process. But as you say I'm nearly there now. Thanx again.

Thanks for your reply. Will Barclays have to attend that hearing? Do they normally settle before either a preliminary or a directions hearing? Getting worried now.

I have just got a letter with a court date on 6 February for a preliminary hearing? What is that, can I ask them to settle before that hearing takes place. I have no idea what preliminary is?

I have just received a hearing date for a preliminary hearing on 6 February. Is it worth calling them to after a week and ask if they want to settle?

I am currently waiting for a court date. I sent off my allocation questionaire which was due to be with the court by 10 December. I sent it by special delivery. I have not heard anything from them yet about a court date. Is it normal to wait this long? Once i have my court date is it wise to contact Barclays and ask if they want to settle? Much appreciate any advice on this.

Hi Craig I am at the same stage as you. I am sending my allocation questionaire to the court today. I received EXACTLY the same defence as you have so it seems to be the standard one. In the templates section there is a guide to filling in the allocation questionaire. Good luck! SH

I issued my MCOL last Thursday. In the particulars of claim it states that i woudl send Barclays another copy of the schedule of charges. How do i go about it. Stupid question but do i send them a covering letter saying i have issued the claim and enclose a copy of the charges, which i have sent them in all my earlier correspondence with them. They know i have issued a claim as it was deemed to have been served yesterday. Is there a template for this? Or can i just send them a copy of the schedule of charges?

Thanks. I went into the bear garden chat room and was adviced that i can send them the rejection letter and still issue court claim on the same day as they have not really responded to my letter. I am sending the letter today recorded delivery and will issue the claim on Wednesday. Its not as if they don't know it is comming and they have had plenty opportunities to remedy the situation.

Do i have to reply to their offer letter of full and final settlement?? I kind of messed up a bit. I don't have access to a computer at home and i have been off sick for a week which is when i received their offer of £500 in full and final settlement. I am back at work now but the 14 day deadline is up tomorrow. Should i send a letter today and give them another 7 days or should i just issue the money claim tomorrow???

I am getting ready to issue a court claim in relation to Barclays Bank. The problem is that i will shortly be moving from London to Scotland (in the next 3 weeks) so i do not know what to do with the claim. Should i just issue the claim here and then inform them of a change of address once i have moved?????? I don't mind travelling back to London to attend court. The 14 days are up tomorrow. They have offered me £500 as a goodwill gesture and full and final settlement but i do not want to accept that, so should i respond to that letter and give them and extra say 7 days or issue the claim tomorrow when the 14 days is up since my LBA. Pleeeeease help i don't know what to do.

i really don't want to accept the £500 but i don't know how it works as i have started it all here. I am claiming by charges back from Capital 1 as well but i will start that after my move. I have to issue my money claim this week so i don't know what to do. I am moving in about 3 weeks but i doubt it will be sorted by then. Does anyone have any advice on what to do in a situation like this???? Pleeeeease!

Thanks for your reply. I sent them a LBA on 6 October so they have until next week to pay up. I also think it is a shame not to hold out for another £600.00. It is peanuts to Barclays but it is a lot of money to me, and will really come in handy for my moving costs etc. So can i bring the claim in a scottish court eventhough i started all this here???? I know the system is different up there. I don't know why Barclays hold out so long cos it ends up costing them more in the long run with interest being added and all that.

I have received an offer from Barclays. It seems to be the standard letter they send out and have offered me £500 in full and final settlement. This if of a claim of £1100.00. I don't want to accept it but i am moving to Scotland in the next month or so. Will i still have time to do the money claim or should i just take the £500? I really don't want to do that so what are my options???
