You'll be fine, I really doubt they'll refuse your counter-offer, I used the same template. Congrats on the win.

Got money in my bank account this morning. I'm so relieved, especially after what's happened recently in the news with the lost case!

Congrats! I'm hoping to get mine soon.

Just a note, where you mention s.69 it says s.69 s.69 so you should delete one of those.

Yeah as far as I'm aware that's just the change they've made to try and put people off. It's all claimable!

It's totally up to you what you do, you can try to settle for less but it will rarely happen, unfortunately nowadays claims aren't usually settled before far into the court process, even with HSBC making 70%/80% offers that far in, but who knows - they are very unpredictable!

Brilliant, thanks. That's the one I was looking for, as I'm sure I'd seen it somewhere.

Have you sent any nudging letters to DG? It was a few days after my nudging letter and follow up call that I got the full offer.

When did you file your MCOL Micheyboo? I don't think the court will delay it too much, mine had nothing done on it for weeks, the offer was actually fairly random! But I think they're working through claims making offers, me and Whatawoman had claims within days, and our MCOL's were submitted at the same time also. Don't give up hope.

I've been having a look and I can't find any templates of letters for accepting offers, is there such a thing? HSBC have said they require me to agree to not make any other claims and for confidentiality, and I really don't mind either of these except the fact I have told people already so I can't really agree to confidentiality! Not sure whether I should just cross these off the letter when I send it back, or to write them a letter.

Thanks.

More waiting for us now! Which letter did you send back to them? I'm sending one off today, got to look at which one to send though.

Btw - please change the thread title! I want a *won*

Just got a full offer through!! £980! Which was £5 more than I asked for in my previous letter! hehe I'm so pleased. Couldn't have come at a better time.

Helen - just got a full offer. £980! Was £5 more than I asked for!

DG are starting to work through the claims at the moment, whatawoman received a full offer today, and I've been told I should be getting one soon. It's just a matter of waiting. My AQ was submitted at the end of March, and I felt exactly the same as you before being told that I should get an offer through.

Maybe give DG a quick ring and ask what the status is on their side with your claim?

lol - i haven't even got an offer! It's whatawoman who has. I haven't been home to check my post though - and won't be until Tuesday now! Will be getting the flat mates to check the post tonight.

Congratulations!!! You must be so pleased! Fingers crossed I have one coming too!

Fingers crossed. She did say "at the end of the week" which is Friday, but I won't hold my breath.

They have a few more people in the office, I've spoken to 2 different people who aren't the usual rachel/kate/debbie etc.

Lets hope it's true and I'll be getting an offer through, would be great! Especially as we've just bought a house, could do with the extra cash.

Helen (whatawoman) and myself are on the same timeline with our claims, so it could be why we had the same response.

Helen,

I had exactly the same call today, after I'd called and left a message. Makes me wonder whether they're using it as a 'get us off their backs' technique or whether they mean it.

It is indeed. I think I'm going to start calling DG every day and sending nudging letters every week or 2, as it's getting ridiculous.

I'll post a nudge letter today, hadn't posted one in a while. I've left messages for Kate/Rachel too. Called the court, it's finally been referred to the judge for his order, which happened on the 26th of April, anyone got any idea how long it'll be before the order will be received?

Thanks!

I've not called DG, gave up on that a little while ago. I have called the courts though and they tell me 'it will happen soon' every time!

Nope, you?

Waiting for the court to send the order though still.

Just a little update - been away on holiday for the past couple of weeks so haven't had any progress whilst away. I called the courts today and they have made a note to get it hurried up a bit. She said there are big delays at the moment due to the amount of claims, but I should expect to hear something in the next 5-10 days. And DG haven't submitted their AQ either, so have called Kate and left a message to ask why.
