    Default what next??

    Claiming £937 from Bank of Scotlandicon. Had a 'phone callicon on Friday offering me £138!!!!

    Too busy to talk on Friday and said I would call them back - should I bother??

    What do I do next? Can I claim for the £937 or does it have to be under £750

    Where do I get the court papers from? Getting mixed up looking at all the different threads - have ended up getting more confused

    Can anyone point me in the right direction??

    Thanks for "listening"
    Carol

    Have sent the first letter asking for statements.

    Received statements and worked out how much they had charged me.

    Sent letter with spreadsheet asking for money.

    Then had 'phone callicon on Friday offering me £138.

    Do I now 'phone them back and try to discuss my claim with them or do I go on and go down the court route? If so - how?

    Just had a lovely big Sunday dinner and am feeling recharged and ready to go!!

    Thanks for any advice,
    Carol

    Have had another 'phone callicon from BOSicon now offering me £340. Said that I would take it as partial payment but that I will continue with my claim for full amount.

    Have completed the letter before actionicon and am going to send them another copy of my spreadsheet - do I include the interesticon yet?

    Does anyone have a link on how to complete court papers in Scotland?

    Thanks,
    Carol

    Hi,

    Don't add the interesticon until you file your claim in Court.
    Go to Forums-Guidance Notes-Scottish Procedure.

    Best Wishes.

    Scott.

    Dear All,

    Have just received a letter from BOSicon. Part of which states

    "As a gesture of goodwillicon I offered to reund you £355.00 of charges to your account, which you do not wish to accept"

    He did offer this on the 'phone and I said I would accept it as part payment and continue to claim for the rest.

    It then goes on to say "We are not prepared to refund all the charges that you have incurred on your account"

    Should I have just accepted the £355? I am actually claiming for £987.

    I had actually already posted my lbaicon giving them a further 14 days or I would complete the court papers - am I on the right track or should I just give up??

    Many thanks
    Carol

    Carol, absolutely do not give up.

    I would send a letter to the bank repeating that you were prepared to accept the 355 as part payment and are still prepared to do so. That said, as a gesture of goodwillicon you will give them a further 7 days (or even stick to your lbaicon timescale, if this offers them around a week from now) to meet your demand in full, otherwise you will proceed with a claim without further communication with them. As long as you are being reasonable and giving them a realistic chance to settle within a realistic timeframe, this is all you need to prove right now.

    If you need a hand with the wording, let me know.

    Do not accept the 355. You are due a lot more and have not messed up, so dont worry.

    I have completed my court papers now and raring to go.....only problem I now have is when I saved my schedule of charges I didn't include the interesticon.

    I now want to add on the 8% but can't work out how to do this without starting from scratch with a new form

    I am sure I should be able to add in the interest onto my existing saved form but can't work out what to do......can anyone help?

    I have been driving myself about crazy this afternoon trying to fill in the correct court papers, then my printer ran out of ink, then the paper jammed and now I can't work out what to do about the spreadsheet.

    Is it more bother than it's worth

    Need to go and have some more chocolate..........

    thanks
    Carol
