Thread: Help Required with Offer Received

Hi All,

I started my money claim vs First Direct for £1800 two weeks ago and today I have received an offer from DG solicitors for about 50% of what I am claiming.


As I have already issued the claim through money claim which has been acknowledged, I am not sure which template to use. Do I accept their offer and state that I will pursue them for the balance or do I reject the offer completly and state and I will only accept the full amount.

Many thanks

The general advice seems to be to accept this as a partial refund and state that you will be pursuing your claim for the remainder.

You could send them this:

Dear Sir

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/xx and settlement offer of £ XXX

I have already filed a claim No. XXXX in the small claims court and therefore have incurred further costs

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder.

I request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, together with court costs and s69 8% interest now totalling £xxxx

I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of full unconditional settlement of my claim.

Yours sincerely

That looks good to me! I will write it now.
Thanks again for your help.
