mikejames1 vs barclays (already getting somewhere...)

Did you follow the guidelines in this site?

 

After your first letter, it would have given them 14 days. By the 29th of September, you should have sent the LBA here giving them another 14 days. Then, on the 13th of October, filed at court unless you had received a full settlement offer.

 

The spreadsheet I used was the England - Simple - Excel which calculates the interest for you. You do not include THIS interest until you file at court.

 

Is this what you were looking for?

Mike, bigstuff's correct. It comes across that you are a Mr Nice Guy.

 

If you had read the threads here where we share our experiences with Barclays, you will know that they will extend YOUR timescale as far as they can. Claimants still do not benefit when you do. They don't give you extra time before they take their "paid referrals" and "Unpaids Out" from your account do they? They do it to their timescales.

 

It's been mentioned by me and many others here, stick to the tried and tested methods as outlined here and don't be tempted to cut corners.

 

Mike it's time to be No More Mr Nice Guy!

Hi Mike. If you've sent the LBA, it gives them 14 days to respond or you take court action. That letter tells them the consequences in no uncertain terms.

 

My advice is that you have given them more than enough time and that you file as soon as possible.

 

The decision is ultimately yours.

 

I would use your first paragraph:

 

Acual paragraph:

My letter before action sent previously indicates that you have until xx/xx/xx to respond before Court action commences. You are reminded that there will be no extension to this timescale.

 

Good Luck in whatever you decide.

I just sent a rejection letter to them and have still got the offer letter. It's in my court bundle as it, and the letter that accompanied it was not marked "without prejudice".

 

As michelle quite correctly pointed out, we are here to help you through this.

[Welshman]

Here's the rejection-letter and, yes, go ahead and file once they've exhausted your 14 day LBA time limit.

[Welshman]

Send the LBA now. They will know then that you mean business. In the same envelope, put in the rejection letter.

 

If you read the site FAQ's and Step by Steps, they all tell you to adhere to YOUR timescales.

 

You would not have needed to post this last time if you had.

 

Good Luck

Your LBA, which I assume was taken from this site, tells them that you are giving them 14 days.

 

Best not to cut corners.
