If you have already filed your claim at Court, you don't need to respond to the letter, just let the Court process run its course.
if you haven't yet filed, write a letter back saying that you are willing to accept the sum as a Partial refund but that you intend to pursue the full amount through the Court.
have you already sent off your lba? If so, once the 14 day deadline has expired, file your claim at Court.
Lots of us (if not all) have had these offers..it's standard.
Good luck
