What a joke! As if you don't know what will happen and for such a paltry sum (you know what I mean - no offence). I wonder what the shareholders would think of this waste of A&L resources.

Dear {mcuth}

 

Re: Yourself -v- Alliance & Leicester plc

.......County Court Claim No. 6SN02734

 

We have received from Swindon County Court the above numbered claim that you have issued. We have now reviewed your particular case and have decided in this instance to settle the claim.

 

This decision should not be regarded as an admission of liability on the part of the Company, as we consider the charges to be fair and reasonable.

 

We therefore now enclose our cheque in the sum of £64.79 which is paid in full and final settlement of your claim. Would you please acknowledge receipt and write to Swindon County Court confirming that the case has been settled.

 

As it is clear that you do not accept the terms and conditions for the operation of your account we will shortly be contacting you to discuss its future operation.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Ian Brunt

Solicitor

 

Well, that's how intelligent these guys are - they closed my account a month ago :rolleyes: Anyhoo, another small victory

 

Cheers
