Can i call someone to check i am filling out the moneyclaim online form correctly please? - (Sorry bit of a perfectionist)

[Eddie]

Does anyone know which option i need to be clicking on - i'm thinking its the first one but i'm not too sure..Hope you can help me...

 

Do you wish to enter Judgment by Default or by Admission? Please select one of the options below:

The defendant has not filed an admission or defence to my claim

(Judgment by Default)

You will need to decide, how and when you want the defendant to pay. You can ask for the Judgment to be paid by instalment or in one payment.

The defendant admits that all the money is owed

(Judgment by Admission)

If the defendant has given a new address on the form of admission to which correspondence should be sent, update the defendant's details within the following Judgment request.

[Eddie]

Ignore that last message - I have figured it out now

[Eddie]

damn and blast they acknowledged the claim as of todays date...

If your claim has been acknowledged - what did they do next?

[monkey_uk]

You'll almost certainly get a letter from DG Solicitors in tomorrow's post offering settlement in full on the proviso of confidentiality.

[Eddie]

I received a letter today offering half.

To decline there offer can I call them or do I have to do it in writing.

 

If i have to do it in writing - any suggestions on what i should say?

 

thank you kind people

[barracad]

How about:

Dear Mr Banker

 

Thank you for your offer of £xxx.xx as part settlement of my claim.

 

Your offer is not satisfactory, although I am prepared to accept this sum, unconditionally, in part-settlement of my FULL claim of £yyy.yy.

 

I shall continue to proceed with my action to recover the remainder of my claim.

[monkey_uk]

Or Eddie, why not just not reply, thus passing the ball back into their court...?

Did you actually tick one of these - i though they had to be left unless they did not respond - am very confused now help!!

[Eddie]

Hi Hannah

 

No you don't tick any of those boxes - i believe they are if your claim hasn't been acknowledged after 14 days then you would tick the 2nd box.

[monkey_uk]

Any news Eddie?

 

 

Hannah, what Eddie said!

[Eddie]

No Monkey,

 

Sent a letter Thursday saying no thanks - would like the full amount owed or something similar anyhow. So just waiting to hear now... fingers crossed..

[monkey_uk]

Should get an offer of full settlement in the next couple of days then...
