Partial Offer Received - Advice Please

[Agusta109]

I received a partial offer on Friday of £3000 against what I was claiming £4778.19 + interest £994.57 + £250 Money Claim + £100 court costs, total £6122.76.

 

I've read that some people have totally ignored the letter from Cobbetts, some have refused the offer and some have accepted the offer and told them they will persue the rest through the courts.

 

What is the best thing to do with the amounts I'm claiming?

 

Advice please!:-?

personally i would accept and persue them via court but it is a bit wobbly seeing as its over the £5. still - i would defo still accept and persue them.

I thought that the claim was without interest and costs ie. £4778.19 so within the £5K small claims track limit?

 

I am inclined to accept in partial and persue the rest via court.

You're right, the £5000 small claims limit applies only to the amount you are claiming before the court fees and 8% interest is added on, so it sounds like the you are within the limits.

 

Regarding their offer, absolutely you should accept as it as partial settlement and advise them that you are going to pursue them for the rest through the court. They will most likely withdraw their offer, but that doesn't matter - you are going to get the whole lot in the end regardless.

 

Keep us posted!

Hi accept the offer but ensure you tell them you will continue to seek the balance, as for going over £5k most people who have more than £5k are claiming in a single case as the banks are paying out. What does your cobblers letter say, if its standard blah blah blah CPR pary 18 then read bigcols thread this will help.
