Have i got a case with the Woolwich? **WON**

[Bookworm]

They seem to think if i were to go to court the judge may throw out my case if he knows i have been offered full refund but not accepted this amount.

 

Total BS.

 

Once you have issued a claim and have incurred the costs, the other party is liable for those costs AND the 8% APR. If they didn't want to pay those costs, you had after all given them plenty of chances to pay up before issuing claim.

 

You are suing them, not the other way round. If they want you to stop suing them, they should abide by YOUR terms, and those terms were full repayment of your charges AND reimbursement of your expenses (court fees).

 

I'm sorry that you chose to follow the advice where you end up with less, but of course, it is your choice. I am curious, though: WHY did you choose to follow their advice when you end up with less? :-?

Just spoke to Barclays. Asked to speak with Keith Jeremiah and he's in a meeting. I left my contact details then the woman taking my message asked what it was concerning. I said a settlement of a claim. She advised me to email Keith as he is very busy and has been for a few weeks now.

 

I have his email but i was wondering if anyone could help me word the fact i want my court costs back as well in a polite manner.

 

Many thanks

Wow, congratualtions, that is excellent news.

 

Have you agreed to any conditions?

 

Remember not to cancel the claim with courts until that money is well and truely in your bank account.

 

Enjoy spending it!

Hi closey,

 

Thanks for all your advice.

 

Quote from email from Keith Jeremiah;

 

"As regards the court, I will write to say that we will not be attending on Monday. You can write to the court to say that you have agreed settlement terms with the bank, but payment has yet to be made."

Also had to sign a letter stating settlement figure and agreeing to keep the terms of the offer confidential.

What a flipping cheek. I would write back stating that you have no intention of communicating with the courts until the full cleared settlement is showing in your bank account.

Hi Closey,

 

I have all emails from Keith printed off so i have everything he has agreed to in black and white.

Well done on holding your ground on the costs. Shame about still letting them calling the shots over keeping your mouth shut to get YOUR money back.

 

A word of warning on this: If you have indeed agreed confidentiality, it is legally binding, and you shouldn't be keeping on talking about it. This forum can not condone such an action, and I must ask you not to discuss this claim any further on this forum.

A friend of mine received the same letter with a statement about keeping matters confidential. She had to sign this letter in order for the money to be released in to her account over £3500.00 . She signed the letter but crossed out the sentance stating all matters relating to this settlement to be kept confidential. She copied the letter for her own safe keeping and sent the original back registered post. The money was released with no further question to the fact that she amended their terms.

If you cross out the confidential section and they still pay up and you keep a copy of this letter they can not dispute it at a later date as you have clearly not agreed to all of their terms. You could also inital and date where you have amended their correspondance incase of any backlash.
