Just to let you guys know - Sunil received a letter from Abbey today (the day before the directions hearing was due to take place) offering payment in full of his claim!!!

They said they will be transferring in a total of £589 into his account - It looks like (and I'm hoping) they may have forgotten they already paid £200 odd in a few months ago so we could really be quids in!
Thanks so much for the forum - really wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys!!! Donation shortly forthcoming.
Now it's Barclays turn!
Good luck to everyone else - just want to say don't give up or be intimidated, this took almost a year but was worth it in the end.
all the best,
Lori
