Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Received a full offer this morning from DG solicitors of £3200 including £120 MCOL fee, BUT as HSBC disputed my online claim it was transferred to my local court and a further £100 in charges were paid which have not been refunded.
Shall I contact DG Solicitors and make them aware of this and try to get this £100 back or should I just be happy with what i've received.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated and thanks for you time.
could send the letter back with a cheerful: thank you for your offer - i will accept on condition that my £100 allocation questionaire fee is also refunded...... along those lines. i don't think it will be a problem - ring or write - but make contact.
This happened to me if you look in my thread Vicmar V HSBC in successes you will find a letter (sorry i am not very good at inserting links)
so i have cut and paste
it worked for me send it recorded and i got full offer and then 7 days later another letter saying they would pay me in 7 days
hope this helps

Date
Dear Whoever
Ref: Your Offer of Settlement
Account: xxxxxxxx
Sort Code xx-xx-xx
Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX county court
I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX
Unfortunately your offer has failed to include my allocation fee of £100 and therefore I am unable to accept your offer as Full and final settlement until you agree to refund this amount. The total amount I wish to be refunded is £XXXXX
As soon as I receive confirmation from you that you agree to this increased figure I will accept the new offer without prejudice and I reserve the right to make any further claims should you apply future charges that may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.
I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of my claim of £XXX
I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentially clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by myself.
I look forward to receiving your revised offer
Yours Sincerely
Vicmar
(tip my scales if i have helped)
