If this is the first offer from RBS (unsigned letter from Mark Douthwaite by any chance??) write back accepting the £1950 but as only partial payment towards full amount of £2200, if that is what is legitimately due to you - do not sign or return the acceptance form - they are relying on you accepting a smaller amount than is actually due - use one of the rejection letter styles here:-

amended to suit your individual case - it does work - I was offered about 73% of my claimed amount, accepted it as partial payment and was offered my full amount within 3 weeks which I accepted.

Just stick it out - you will win

No worries, if you're happy with the result then that's fine -

I know what you mean about getting money back you thought you had lost, it's just I was almost tempted to accept first offer but the example of others on CAG who had held out for full claim inspired me to do same and I was offered the full amount - I just hope Capital One, who I'm suing for default fees, are as generous with their "acts of goodwill" - it really does make me laugh when they come out with this - I mean, who do they think they are kidding
