OK this isn't sustainable. The idea was to keep this under the covers until the cheque arrived but here are the settlement terms from Abbey that I have accepted.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS





Dear Sir
CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT – CLAIM NO 6CK02117
Thank you for your email dated 13 July 2006, the contents of which are noted.
Abbey National plc ("Abbey") has decided, in this instance, to settle your claim in full.
However, having reviewed the schedule of charges supplied under cover of your email dated 6 July 2006, we note that your claim includes various charges which were incurred more than 6 years before the date on which you issued your claim (13 June 2006). We would point out that you are prevented from reclaiming these charges by the Limitation Act 1980.
In particular, you are not able to reclaim the charges you have listed as incurred during the period 30 September 1999 to 30 May 2000. These charges total £888.00 and the corresponding interest that you have claimed totals £453.74. Removing these amounts from your claim gives a figure of £7,330.50 for charges plus interest as at 26 June 2006 of £2,622.74.
Payment will therefore include bank charges totalling £7,330.50, interest of £2,622.74 (as at 26 June 2006), interest from 26 June 2006 to the date of settlement on the bank charges amounting to £32.13 and the court fee of £250.00. This gives a total settlement figure of £10,235.37. This payment of £10,235.37 represents full and final settlement of your claim, but of course without any admission of legal liability by Abbey.
As your account with Abbey is closed, payment will be made by cheque. We are requesting a cheque from Abbey and will forward this to you on receipt.
We will write to the court to inform them that the case is being settled in full. Once payment has been made we should be grateful if you would inform the Court that you have withdrawn the claim.
Please confirm your agreement to the above in writing by signing and returning the additional copy of this letter.
Yours faithfully
DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary UK LLP

Great news mate, good to hear.

Next bite is of course whether you intend to press them on the limitation issues... and knowing how you have performed so far it wouldn't surprise me if you did!!
