I Won!

[wimpole]

i registered my claim with the court on 18/02/07. however i received a gogw payment from abbey on 29/01/2007.at that time i did'nt realise that i had to write back accepting it as part payment however i did write back to say it wasnt a satisfactory outcome. i have recently informed the court that i have received this payment. should i write back to abbey and tell them that i accept it as part settlement as the 8 week deadline is nearly up.

Hi wimpole,

I'm not sure what you mean by the 8 week deadline, is this 8 weeks that Abbey have said they will take to investigate? If so, it means nothing, so disregard it.

As to the GOGW, you said you rejected it at first, what was the outcome. Was this GOGW amount paid directly into your bank, did they send a cheque, or was it just an offer?

a, if it was paid into your bank, is it still there, if so accept it a 'part payment' and continue the claim for the rest. Inform the court by letter and inform Abbey that you will continue your claim for the outstanding balance.

b, if it was a cheque, did you bank it. If yes, then treat it the same as above. If not, then destroy the cheque and continue the claim for the full amount.

c, If it was just an offer, then do nothing and continue your claim.

If it was something esle, you need to elaborate on the details.

Hope this helps

i did'nt realise that i had to write back accepting it as part payment however i did write back to say it wasnt a satisfactory outcome.

I would suggest that you use one of the template letters to write to Abbey and reject their offer, you need to decide which one is best for your situation.


Rejecting Offers

should i write back to abbey and tell them that i accept it as part settlement as the 8 week deadline is nearly up

It is very important that you do write back as I am sure the letter your received with the GOGW will advise some where on it that's it's a full and final offer, by doing nothing you may jepodise your claim as Abbey will think you agree to their offer

[wimpole]

thanks to all that replied.
i am due to press the judgement button 26 march so i will write to both abbey and court to accept it as part payment. and yes it was paid straight into bank.

Hi Wimpole

I'm in exactly the same position as you and have sent of my letter to Abbey accepting the GOGW as part settlement. I actually called MCOL and let them know though..I hadn't written to them..I'm not sure if that affects anything?
We'll need to adjust our spreadsheets to reflect the payment now and just sit back and wait! ShAbbey have until 26th to respond to me...
Good luck!!

[wimpole]

i know that this question has been asked before but i still dont know exactly what to write in box g (further information) shall i just keep it simple quoting that this case is an issue of fact and not law etc. as it will be through the small claims court as it is for £26000.
any advice or sample wording appreciated.

[sparkydawg]

£26000. Wow i wish i wish that aint a typo. Would love to see that amount claimed back by someone. I submited my AQ last week and used the draft alternative approach. i find it then paste it

Here it is. New strategy for Allocation Questionnaires

Something along the lines of post #69

If Michael says it's spot on then it's good enough for me!

[wimpole]

i have received a date for a prelim hearing but the order doesnt say why.
my question is if the abbey dont show up will i be able to request judgement, or is that only possible at final hearing?

Hi there

All I can suggest is you have a read of this:

GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages

Hopefully it will give you some guidance.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

JUST A MESSAGE TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL. TODAY ABBEY PAID A CHEQUE INTO MY ACCOUNT FOR £2900. I WAS DUE TO ATTEND A PRELIMINARY HEARING ON 25 JULY, BUT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM ABBEY YESTERDAY STATING THEY WERE SETTLING MY CLAIM(WITHOUT ADMITTING LIABLITY OF COURSE). DONT GET ME WRONG IT HASN'T GONE SMOOTHLY, ALL IN ALL IT HAS TAKEN 8 MONTHS SINCE FIRST REQUESTING MY STATEMENTS.
BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL
