£5000 limit and interest question

[Welshman]

I wouldn't bother trying to make contact. If you have been reading the threads here, you'll know that they'll take it to the wire.

 

Good Luck

Welshman is probably right. He usually is!!

 

But personally I would be tempted to give them a ring, if I hadn't heard by then, on friday afternoon. It's possible they haven't kept proper track of your court date (it's happened before) and, if so, you could cause them a nice dose of panic.

 

But only phone them if you feel confident doing so. At this stage you have the upper hand. You don't need to give them any concessions at all.

 

But however the next few days go, I'm sure the whole forum is right there with you.

Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone...

 

This morning I received a letter, dated yesterday (Fri 27 Oct)... Talk about cutting it fine. Of course, I need to call them to put a couple of things straight (they have not left enough time for reply in writing / negotiation) but hopefully this will all be wrapped up on Monday. Otherwise, it's off to court on Tuesday. To be honest, it will be rather disappointing not to get my day in court after so much build-up...

 

(Final) update soon!

[Welshman]

Was that a letter settling in full?

[barcingmad]

Offer of settlement that covers charges, costs and nearly all of the 8% interest. Need to do a latest interest calculation to see if it is worth trying to get the last few squids out of them.

Squeeze every last penny out of them barcingmad. You have been waiting long enough, so make sure that they pay for it.

[barcingmad]

Well, cheque arrived in the post this morning for full claim... Woohoo!!

 

They were very keen to get hold of me on Monday - I certainly got the feeling they were quite keen to avoid going to court yesterday. Can't think why, considering my case was apparently completely devoid of merit.

(still waiting for Court Date -moan)

Congratulations :D

My word they do cut it fine don't they.

 

I wonder if its because they forget or that they want to play chicken ????

 

 

Well done anyway...............
