Got a phone call from Cobbetts today @ 15.50 23/07/07...

I lovely young lady by the name of Sarah introduced herself, and where she was calling from.

Her call in her own words was a cheecky request, asking me not to enter judgement against NatWest.

My claim had been struck out as an abuse of process, as no defence was entered at court, allthough my claim was acknowledged..

I tried in vain to explain that payment had been received as full and final on the 3rd July..

I went on to explain that i had forwarded a copy to Cobbetts, along with acknowledgement of receipt of their defence. (my copy) And forwarded settlement details to the court requesting the case to be closed..

How many times can you tell somebody you dont want their money...

Despite my efforts, the lovely Sarah now insists that she must send me the cheque that she has in front of her, for £ 1,639.21p as per charges/interest/court fee..

I DONT WANT YOUR MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The cheque will be with you in 3/5 working days sir, may i take this opportunity of thanking you for not entering judgement against the bank.

 

Have a nice day now. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As tempting as it is, i just dont want it.................................

[hedgey06]

Lol tony............. PMSL!!!! I can't believe them................. that's the funniest cobbetts story I've heard in ages!!!

 

Not being funny........... when you send the cheque back, they'll be on the phone again arguing that you must cash the cheque!!!

 

Brilliant!!!! :D :D

[jonni2bad]

Ahhh - BUT this could be a "shut up and go away" goodwill payment.

 

When you receive it, the best thing to do is to write and state that you have received their cheque. Ask them to confirm in writing (unless the accompanying letter already does) that this is indeed a goodwill gesture.

 

If it is, you can keep it - if not, it can go back!

 

Good luck

 

p.s. -Here's an idea - If they say it's a goodwill payment, why not donate it to CAG!!!

[tonycee]

Will post details of letter when it arrives...All she said was that i had to sign the bit at the bottom that said i would not enter judgement..

Seems im not the only one who has had a ( please dont ) call from Cobbetts today..

[hedgey06]

tony, you've cheered me up today with this thread!! No wonder the rest of us can't get paid out.......... they're too busy trying to pay you twice!!!!

 

Best of luck mate............. but knowing you, you'll have this sorted out in no time!

[tonycee]

Thanks sweetheart, your a star. I wouldnt have even said

" boo to a goose ", or bank worker, without all the help and support that you, and many others have given us all. It is appreciated in the extreme..

I hope your ALL get paid soon...

 

 

Twice.....................

I didnt do anything, thats the point..

I received an offer (accepted) (received into account 03 july)from Borehamwood on 20 June (from memory) the very same day that i received Cobbetts defence.

Cobbetts then failed to file a defence with the courts, even though they showed their intention to.

Because i accepted the offer, i thought that would be the last of it..

 

My only advice if they have failed to enter a defence is, wait a couple of weeks without doing anything, if you tell them now they have failed, they can stilll ask, and receive a stay which could delay payment for weeks. On the other hand, you could ring them and receive payment within days.

I honestly dont know which is the best route to take, but good luck anyway.

I guess thats no advice at all really is it. ? Sorry. !!

They did this to me last year also. I won by default as they failed to acknowledge or defend the claim so I won, they sent me one cheque for £2500 and I wrote back saying thank you the court claim is now cancelled and then they sent another cheque, i called them and they said no I must have £2500. lol

As lovely as the prospect of another £1639 sounds, i cant help but feeling "its not right"

I didnt win by default, and they did send me their defence..

On receipt of funds (03july) i instructed the courts to stop my claim.I also forwarded details of payment to Cobbnitts.

I will just have to BEG them to take their money back.

Wonder if i should send them an invoice for £38 as a processing fee...

[roboraver]

"should send them an invoice for £38 as a processing fee..." that would be sooo funny, go on do it, there's no harm !

Plus 8% interest............ accruing daily!!!!!!!!!

[tonycee]

Ive been thiking. (most of you will have thought the noise was thunder)

Shoot me down in flames if you know different.

My theory is..

NatWest and Cobbnitts will have undertaken a contract between themselves for a "fixed fee defence package", e.g. Natwest pay a stage stepped price to Cobbitts of an agreed amount on settlement.. (still with me ?)

E.G.

£50 for settlement at Prelim letter

£75 For settlement at LBA

£100 To file defence

Etc. Etc. Etc.

 

Heres my point.

I believe the contract will state that if Cobbnitts fail to provide the service correctly, i.e. if they fail to submit on time, etc,

They (cobbetts) will be liable for reimbursement of clients claim amount.

Cant wait to find out where the cheque comes from....

[hedgey06]

That's way too educated for me tonight tony.......... I've got toothache!!!

 

Lol though................ cheque might even be signed by old Higley himself!!!! :D

[tonycee]

Poor soul.. Big Sympathy....

 

Just recovering from abscess (yes that how you spell it)

Swelling down from egg size to marble.

Half of face still numb.

Skin on lips died under blocking blood supply.

 

But Hey !!!!! Chin up, thats another webb site. X.

[hedgey06]

Ooooohhhhh............. that sounds how I look and feel right now

 

I'd feel a whole lot better if cobbetts coughed up.............. TWICE!!!

 

Thanks for the sympathy............. right back at ya! xx

[welsh girl]

[hedgey06]

Lmao!!!!! :d

[tonycee]

Lmao!!!!! :d

 

Strangely i cant.. Im gonna sit on it for a week and see what happens..

 

I feel sick now ive got it, and even sicker for those still to claim.

[hedgey06]

It's the irony of the situation though tony.................... I honestly cannot believe that they're trying to force you to accept the payment twice!!

 

Why don't you just cut the cheque in half, and return it to nat west with a letter explaining the ludicrous situation (copy to cobbetts) - at least that way, you'll feel a bit better about it.

I would rather give it away than give it back.. Im in court this afternoon ( Barclays have had my 2 claims struck out as an abuse £3,500 on 19 July ) I will see what they have to say about Cobbnitts ( i just luv that name )
