Is a verbal agreement the same as a signed document??
I only ask because yesterday I called to see if they would settle before I send my court bundle in. In principal I agreed to what was being offered if I could see there workings out as it didn't quite tally.
I received an email from them for me to sign to say I agree to what was being offered however no workings out.
So not being silly I've not signed anything and have very carefully gone thorough my speadsheets and it's about £100.00 out and not in my favour.
I just rang to say please can i have your workings out etc and was told things were already in motion to send me the money. When I told her I hadn't signed to say I'd agree to anything she told me that I had verbally!!
The workings out are aparently not email-able so have been posted guess I just have to wait and see.
Any thoughts - do i have to stick to my verbal agreement??
I would call and say you will let the judge decide.
State that you accepted the money on the proviso that they sent you there details.
As they they haven't done this, you will let it proceed to court
I agree, if you think they are trying to do you out of £100 then let it go to court and let the judge decide. I expect that they can prove that you agreed verbally because they probably taped the conversation, but you could try to deny any such conversation or say that you got confused with what they were saying and agreed in your confusion and now that you have had time to think about it you don't agree at all. I don't know if this would work, but you could lose £100 and it is better off in your pocket than theirs.
