hi there everyone. well today i received the letter from DG solicitors asking me to sign the confidentiality letter for payment of the whole amount requested. Can anyone thats been here help me with a letter to them??

Also ive just read on another thread about them then using the refunded money to pay off some other debt with them. It was a couple of years ago and i dont think that i owe them anything else but you never know so i need to put something in there about receiving it to me in a cheque form.

Also what about time limit. I think becuase they defended they had extra time but i dont think theyve got that long left so what happens if we reach the deadline and everything isnt sorted by then not becuase they not paying up but with the time it takes back and forth with letters.

 

Basically where do i go from here????

 

thanks

Dear Sirs

Re: [YOUR NAME] –v- HSBC BANK PLC

[COURT NAME] County Court, Claim No. [CLAIM NUMBER]

Your reference: [THEIR REFERENCE FROM THE LETTER]

Thank you for your letter dated [DATE], offering an ex-gratia payment of £[AMOUNT] in full and final settlement of the above claim.

I am willing to accept the above offer in exchange for terminating this action, however this is subject to the following conditions:

1. I do not accept your request for confidentiality. Such a request would require a separate contract between both parties, which would, in turn, require irrecoverable time and legal costs to be incurred. In addition, I am mindful of the fact that certain information may be made available by the County Court to third parties, either under standard disclosure procedures, or the Freedom of Information Act, so therefore I would not be able to guarantee the confidentiality of information contained in this case.

2. Payment must be made, by way of cheque or bank transfer, in cleared funds, within 14 days of the date of this letter.

I trust that this is acceptable to both you and your client, and look forward to your confirmation that payment has been arranged.

Yours sincerely
