barclaycard/help

[kenlanelisa]

claimed my charges from barclaycard which total to £516, this is without intrest.

i sent of for the amount of £516.

 

recieved letter saying goodwill gesture of £192 and money applied to card. i didnt ask for that to take place.

 

what do i do now? do i put in a claim at court? or is it another letter.

 

oh, and they have also reduced my credit limit now so that i cannot use the xtra cash.

You havnt stated if you have sent the lba letter, or a rejection letter.

 

Keep to your time scales. 14 days between each letter, then file at court.

 

If you send a rejection letter telling them to take the money back, carry on filing for the full amount.

hi i have been looking round site for info from other threads. its a rejection letter i need to send.

i have mixed it with the LBA templete is that ok as i have noted others have done it.

also is it ok for me to accept it as part payment but will pursue rest by court claim.

Dear Sirs

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER:

Ref your recent offer

 

 

Thank you for your recent offer of £ ***** as a gesture of goodwill, I must inform you that I will not be accepting this offer. As outlined in my earlier correspondence I explained that the charges you have applied to my account are contrary to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Further or in the alternative, I believe that your charges are a Penalty.

 

Penalty charges are irrecoverable at common law. The precedent for this was Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage and Motor co Ltd [1915] AC 79.along with Murray v. Leisure play [2005] EWCA Civ 963

 

Although in my original letter I informed you that I would start legal proceedings within 14 days, as a gesture of goodwill I will give you an extra 7 days to refund £ ***** by cheque as I no longer use this account and wish it to be closed. If this is not done within the 7 days, I will be forced to start legal proceedings, you will receive no further warnings.

 

Yours Sincerely

[kenlanelisa]
