Taking On Cahoot

[andykb3]

Here and quick run-down of my experience with Cahoot:

1) Send initial claim - it's rejected (eventually)
2) Send LBA - also rejected (eventually)
3) File MCOL form
4) Recieve letter from DLA Piper Solicitors rejecting claim but asking for more info. This was recieved just at the court deadline for them to respond
5) I have just recieved an offer (again from DLA Piper) of 50% of my claim. Have just drafted a letter rejecting this offer.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Misspickles - don't forget to add interest to your MCOL claim. Once you reach this stage you can add 8% APR to your claim. Don't forget to add this individually to each charge either. There is at least one Excel sheet on this site which will help you calculate your interest.

MY fear is that they will shut down my account before the dosh is paid up - as I can see this being delayed for a while..

Doesn't matter - they can always pay you by cheque. I claimed against an account I closed earlier in the year without a problem.

Cahoot can draw it out - I have gone through the whole process:

Prelim
LBA
MCOL
MCOL 28 day extension
50% offer (refused)
Now waiting to hear a court date.

I will of course be seeing it through.
