I started court proceedings on 14th March, received a settlement figure on 23rd March and now having signed and sent it back (over ten days ago), they are saying they have a back log and no record of it so far. Can I continue with my court claim for the full amount?
Re: Quick question regarding back log and courts...
Just to clarify: what I'm concerned about is that if I continue with my court claim, will RBS, at some point, 'find' my signed settlement letter and complicate the whole thing by saying, "Well, you agreed to settle". Any thoughts?
Re: Quick question regarding back log and courts...
Hi poppytara,
There seems to be a few of us in this position at the moment.
I posted my agreement letter 23rd March, and they can't find it either. I too was told they were backlogged. Did you send your letter recorded?
They sent another copy, and I posted that recorded signed for on 04 April. I just checked the tracking number and its still showing 'out for delivery'
With the bank holidays its just a matter of waiting I suppose, fingers crossed it will show as delivered on Tuesday. I will then give RBS 5 days to refund, or continue with the claim.
I don't want to be waiting around for RBS to sort themselves out, they must be able to take on more staff or something!!
