Go for it lisa…. knew you would have fun here lattie, not saying what I was tempted to type when I first saw it just a tad different to the combined consensus of opinion, more on the lines of if they are that silly its their look out lol.... but reading peoples views.... even if lisa did accept an offer in writing.... would anyone even a judge say she was wrong to accept a later offer of more ?.... as long as she sends back anything over the total amount of the largest offer ?

An offer is an offer... you accept the largest... they are in effect telling you what they owe you, a second offer is an admission that they owe you more so take it.

Lisa good luck

I have been thinking about this (yes I do that sometimes).

I think you should also send MB's letter too.

I was talking about this situation to phoenix today, and I think this would cover your back.

It would be nice to get the £1000, and you still have a chance, but we need to be squeaky clean about this.

so, you have accepted a better offer, but you have let them know they have made a bit of a cock up, so no possible cause for accusation.

Hi all,

I think in my haste to get this £1000, I've probably shot myself in the foot! Whilst at work today, the only paperwork from DG was the latest letter they sent me dated 21st feb. It basically says 'we look forward to hearing from regarding our offer letter of 13th feb'.

Rather than waste another day, I sent a letter saying ' I accept your offer (not mentioning the amount) and look forward to receiving a cheque from you shortly'.

Now, they might write back and say that I need to fill in the bit of their original letter that says 'i accept as full and final settlement etc' or they might not, they might just accept my letter but I doubt it!

I wish now I'd sent off MB's letter that was suggested, I guess I was too impatient! Of course if I got this cash, I would send back the rest immediately, but what's to stop them demanding the whole lot if they rumble me?

I really appreciate all of your advice, I'll let you know as soon as I've heard anything at all. Please wish me luck, I'm sooo nervous now!

Its a difficult one, as I have not heard of this happening before, so its a bit of a "suck it and see". If you send off MBs little letter there, it just might work out OK, and you cover your back.

The fact is that you accepted an offer, of course its your choice, but they ALWAYS pay out the full amount if you push them, regardless of what some papers and tv personalities might tell you.

that's why i said to keep an eagle eye on your account and the very second it hits the account take 1000 out and put it elsewhere. they very well may want it all back - but you can send a letter saying here - you've sent too much - here is the balance.

can you use another account so if they want to take it all they are taking back is their own money - minus the 1000. you'll just have to play it out and see what happens.

if they send a cheque and don't just deposit it into your acct. - can you cash it into another account. and if they start to bug you just tell them you've deposited it and you can't do anything until it clears.

keep that letter above that michael b did for you and date it today (same day as you've accepted - just don't mail it quite yet)

Hi Lattie,

I do have another account with Natwest that I could use for the cheque so no problems there. If they do pay it into my HSBC acc. I'll just take the £1,000 and send back the rest. I'll do as you say with Michael B's letter also. Cheers Lattie

Hi all,

DG have just credited my account today with the missing £933.33! It's just so bizarre that they've actually acknowledged the missing amount. Has this ever happened to anyone else who's already signed to say they'd accept a lower settlement only to get the balance a couple of months later? Thanks for all your advice

I think it just shows what a mess DG are in, once they sent you the second offer they could hardly say they didnt owe you the larger sum and have therefore now had to pay it.

 

Congratulations you have another £1000 you didnt think you would get

well done - but being the sceptic that i am - i'd move it out of that bank and into another one just in case they change their minds - i know it sounds awful - but i just do not trust them at all.

 

but i'm really, really pleased for you lisa - what a win!

 

and no, i've not seen one like it before!

Thankyou all so much for your support. Lattie I think I will move the cash - you just never know with this lot!

It will come in very handy as I start my nursing degree next Tuesday! 3 year course on my own with my 2 lovely boys! I need all I can get!

i really am sooo pleased for you lisa - so glad you wrote when you got those letters - or you might have missed out on the extra. what an odd thing to do...... first thing i did was pm crusher and michael to tell them.

very best of luck on your nursing course.

 

now you should inform the court that it has been resolved!
