Now this is FUNNY! I think I have them on the run!
I checked my figures against the amount that Barclays paid into my account and realised that they were £47.12 short on the
interest.
So, I emailed Keith Jeramiah the following:
Dear Mr Jeremiah,
I reply in response to your letter dated 15th August 2006.
Thank you for your interim payment of £2,223.23.
I have checked the figures on my claim and have found that you remain £47.12 short of
full and final settlement of this case.
I have notified the Salisbury
County Court that I am not willing to withdraw the action whilst this amount remains unpaid.
The figures used for this calculation are as below. I have assumed that
interest has stopped at 14.08.06 and have allowed my preparation costs to remain at zero.
Claim amount * * £1,700.00
Interest @ 8% £ 350.35
Court Fees £ 120.00
Allocation Questionaire fee £ 100.00
Preparation Costs £ 0.00
Total Claim £ 2,270.35
Amount Paid * * ** * (*£2,223.23 )
Balance owing * * ** *£47.12
Please deposit this sum into my Woolwich account so that I can notify the Courts that my claim has been completely satisfied.
May I remind you that I am the Claimant in this action and, as such, only I can withdraw the claim.
Should this matter not be resolved prior to the hearing date then, of course, I shall be pursuing my preparation costs also.
I look forward to your reply,
Yours Sincerely.

I have just had this reply:
Dear barry031261

I am prepared to take your word for it as regards the £47.12p. I have instructed our Woolwich division to credit your account accordingly.

I would appreciate receiving a copy of your communication to the court.

So, I thought I'd push my luck as I have another claim in for Barclaycard that is being dragged out. So I sent a further email:
Dear Mr Jeramiah,
Thank you for your satisfactory response.
I will post you a hard copy of my letter to Salisbury
County Court as soon as these funds are in my account.
Whilst I have your attention, are we now in a position to obtain a similarly satisfactory settlement to:
Your Ref: KJ/LIT-030666, Court Case No. 6SB00430?
The figures below are based on todays date.
Penalty Fees £ 400.00
Interest charged £ 83.71
Interest @ 8% £ 56.47
Court Fees £ 50.00
Preparation costs £ 0.00
Total claimed £ 590.18
If this can be paid into the same Woolwich account I will notify the Court at the same time and will make a payment to the Barclaycard account to bring it up to date.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours Sincerely,
barry031261
I await his reply.
