Moneyclaim & Interest - Help

[vix2000]

oh, well. Its nice to dream sometimes!!!!!

[MondeoST24]

Indeed

 

Anyways back to the subject of this thread, the £500 interest

 

Now I was thinking of replying to the letter tomorrow stating many thanks for your offer however as you know I am entitled to claim interest on this claim under county court acts 1984. This amounts to x. Therefore I would be grateful if you could amend your offer to include this figure.

 

Possible outcomes?

 

1. They write back with full offer including interest

2. They write back saying, N1 not completed properly therefore I forfeit the interest - in this instance I write back again saying I am aware of this fact and am submitting N244 and revised N1 (I am entitled to do this right up to judgment and only me can apply for judgment-it isn't granted automatically once the 28 days runs out)

 

A question for Bankfodder/Dave on this, am I putting myself in any risk with this strategy, I have read Daves announcement regarding offers in full and holding out for the interest however as I understand it this only applies before proceedings have been issued, mine have been - allbeit with a mistake regarding the interest.

 

Please advise.

Another letter from DG Solicitors, offer in full with the interest.

 

Now we just need to discuss the confidentiality, although I don't think they will want to pay anything for it. No harm asking though.

[vix2000]

Thats great news.

 

They responded to our claim last week. How long did it take for their solicitors to make you an offer?

[MondeoST24]

Not long, about 7-10 days from recieving the acknowledgement of service.

 

I'm really glad i'm not going to have to mess about with the N244 forms and all that stuff.

 

Yours should be sorted pretty soon now dont worry.

[vix2000]

I bet you are. It must be a great result for you. Hopefully we'll hear soon. Will let you know when we do. Thanks.

MondeoST24 what was the letter you sent to DG regarding the mistake on your claim re interest.

I have just had an offer through from DG for the full amount plus court costs, however not the interest. I included the interest amount in the particulars, but did not add it to the total amount on the other side of the claim...DOH.

I have come up with the following letter, what do you think?

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Account number ********

 

Response to settlement offer.

 

Dear Ms Julie Kyle,

 

Thank you for your letter dated 20th September 2006, offering a settlement of £2271.

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, including interest pursuant to s69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8%pa and court costs totalling £2700.31p

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with the County Court claim if necessary.

 

Although there is a slight error on the claim form, it is clear from the particulars of claim that the amount of £429.31 is due by way of interest and that I request this in addition. I am quite sure that if the matter went to a full hearing, that the judge would award interest to me.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

Mr Michael *********
