The 8% interest you entered on your claim is still fine; they will offer you this.

DON'T PANIC<--- big friendly letters

Wait and see what they do, let us know when they do it, and we'll try to help you come to an informed decision.

The sooner you send it in (and pay the fee) the sooner they will settle

Make sure when you agree settlement that you include your court fee and the questionnaire fee.

In the Bank Template Library there is now an explanation of how to complete the Allocation Questionnaire.

Hi Daniel

Have you included s.69 interest in your particulars of claim ?

Why should you cut and run? It's YOUR claim, remember?

I suggest you send a friendly letter to Mr KJ and remind him that only FULL and UNCONDITIONAL settlement of your claim will result in your withdrawing your claim. Then wait and see who blinks first. (Hint: So far, THEY always have! )

well, strictly speaking, the new charges are a different claim, but there is no harm in mentioning them in your letter, and say that in order to minimise the hassle to both parties, would he consider reimbursing those as well, otherwise, you'd only have to start the whole process. See what they say...

Daniel, you are still not getting this: YOU do NOT have to "settle", THEY do. Stop thinking like a victim! If they do not want to go to court, THEY will have to do the running.

just penning the letter to send today - can you have a quick look and tell me if you think its ok? see below THANKS!

Dear Mr Jeremiah

Thank you for your letter dated 14th August 2006, however I must remind you that only FULL and UNCONDITIONAL settlement of my claim will result in my withdrawing from this case.

I am enclosing copies of a further 6 letters informing me of charges incurred since my original claim. Although I understand that strictly speaking that the issue of these would need to be dealt with in a new and separate claim, I would like you to consider reimbursing these along with my initial claim in an attempt at saving both parties the hassle and cost of a new further claim.

Yours sincerely

Daniel17,

I had a very similar situation to you with regard to additional charges added to my account.

If you read my thread:

Bitiing back at Woolwich

you might get a few ideas on how to proceed. At worse it'll give you some moral support that you are not alone!

Dont forget that you are in charge here, not the banks!

Barry
