Thanks! Can't seem to get my signature to work - but it should say: NatWest business account - --- started 25 Jan '07 - £250 rejected - Settled 01 Feb £300 (after Court proceedings started) NatWest personal account - --- started 25 Jan '07 - £250 rejected - £1200 rejected Settled 01 June £1650 (1 day before court date including 8% interest & fees) Bank of Scotland personal account - --- started 25 Jan 07 - Settled 20 March £650 (after LBA)

Actually steven, you were wrong. It was 2:14pm. Phone call from Cobbetts askink if we'd drop the case as a cheque was in the post by special delivery which should have arrived that morning! Paid up in full Very happy - cheque now in the bank ( ) and a photocopy of it on the wall! THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!

??? I can appreciate that proceedings in court are rare - but with 3 working days between now and then I can't see an agreement of settlement being made and monies transferred to stop the case going forward. What other outcomes could there be between now and the 31st??

We wrote to the judge and sumbitted a full bundle within the 14 day deadline. No responce form Cobbetts since their initial defence & CPR request. Called NatWest and they insisted they wouldn't raise their offer above the initial claim. No chance of the 8% or court costs. And since we've already declined their offer (as it would mean losing ~£400)....... Looks like this one is going to be heard in court next Thursday...... Wish us luck!

Hi, Two claims from other banks paid up so far - but this last one is dragging a bit now and with some issues.This claim is for ~£1250. 20/01/07 Prelim letter sent 05/02/07 LBA sent 28/02/07 MCOL filed 28/03/07 'F&F' Offer sent (less interest & court fee) 02/04/07 Defence filed 04/04/07 CPR request rejected 15/05/07 Offer rejetion letter sent 31/05/07 County court date (soon!) As you can see - we left the rejection letter a bit late as a result of their confused two pronged correspondance with us (defence via cobbets & offer via NatWest both on our doorstep within 24 hours). Rejection sent today so hopefully will prompt them to close this case before having to take the day off to show up in court. Only other problem is that MCOL made an error in converting out data into the official claim.It should be: original charges (a), plus interest (b), plus court charges = total. Looking at the claim online it appears the claim is actually: original charges plus interest in section (a), plus a second set of interest in (b), plus court charges. ie total is approx £250 more than what we're after. I'm going to call the court manager tomorrow to see what can be done. Any suggestions??? Thanks & Regards, PP
