Barclays finally gave in a week before the court hearing. It was straight after my court bundle landed on the desk of their chief legal executive. Repayment in full £3314.91

Yes, its obviously a busy site so I took everything on board by having a good look around the forums. Once Barclays refund my money I intend to donate to the site as without it, claiming my money back would have been a damn sight harder. Thankyou all.

Finally, superb news!! Had a letter from Barclays yesterday saying they are to pay up in full (plus expenses) £3314.91. They of course disagree with my comments on their actions being unlawful and are only paying up due to the case being 'not economically viable for either party to go to trail'. I look forward to my next case on my other account!

My hearing is in a couple of weeks but the case has only been allocated a 10 minute slot. Is this the full hearing or is it a preliminary one before the 'main' one?

Hi all. I've been on this wonderful website for a few months now and have used the info on this site to get my bank (Barclays) to a small claims hearing. I've gone through the normal proceedure, including the bank offering me £1000 as full and final settlement (£3k+ claim). I've gone through all of the proceedures and have finally been given a hearing date of 28th March. The court paperwork states that 10 minutes has been allocated for the hearing. Is this normal? Speaking to a Court staff member, she says that all hearings relating to Bank 'overcharging' were being heard over a period of a few days and that they all had the same time allocation time.
