dwarren VS Natwest ** WON **

[Guest dwarren]

Hi all,

 

Letter from the court received yesterday. Doesn't look as though the judge has accepted the draft directions. This is probably due to a hearing date being given of 14:00pm on 30 March 2007 which obviously means that all copies of documents need to be delivered by 15th March. Therefore draft directions wouldn't be needed in this case.

 

Not long to go now

Which court is it, just out of interest?

Sheffield. I am suprised that I got a hearing so quickly as I would have envisaged ever increasing waiting times due to the amount of activity going on around charges.

 

Needless to say I'm more than happy that the end is in sight!

[GaryH]

Yeah, that is quick. Shame they did'nt agree to the directions, but as you say the date is so soon its not likely to make any difference anyway.

Well all.

 

I took a little trip down to the postoffice this morning to be greeted by an envelope marked SPECIAL DELIVERY, Strictly Private and Confidential.

 

YES, YOU GUESSED IT, I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEQUE FOR £3127.01

Many thanks to all involved, especially GaryH

 

As I like to have the last word can someone point me in the direction of a template for telling them to sod off on the "you agree not to disclose to any third party"

 

Can a mod also please move this to the successes area. 5% Donation will be on its way once the cheque has cleared

This may be a suitable response.

 

Date

Dear Whoever

Ref: Your Offer of Settlement

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

Sort Code xx-xx-xx

Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX County Court

 

I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX

 

I accept your offer as full and final settlement only for this claim of bank charges made on my account between xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx(dates of first and last charge)

 

I accept this offer without prejudice and I reserve the right to make any further claims should you apply future charges that may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim and will send a Notice of Discontinuance to the Court upon receipt of cleared funds of unconditional full settlement of my claim

 

I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentiality clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by myself.

 

I trust that you will find this arrangement acceptable.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

[Guest dwarren]

Thanks for the template deller1.

 

Can't see myself doing too much work today. Will be planning a celebratory drink (or two) I think!

[Deller]

And why shouldn't you.......enjoy!!

[Guest dwarren]

Just looked at the date on the cheque...

 

It's dated 09/02/2007! Whilst I wouldn't have minded it earlier it did at least continue to build interest whilst at Cobbetts!

[Deller]

This is pretty normal, they do tend to write out their cheques in batches but not neccessarily post them all at once, which seems to be the case with yours.

Hi, Dwarren

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

A bit tardy, I know but I've been busy....

 

Playing golf and consuming real ale.

 

 

Very well done - you deserve every penny!
