Me vs Barclays - Help appreciated

Hi thedaddy and welcome to CAG!

 

Ah, if life were so simple that you say no thanks, I'd like more/full amount and the bank replied Oh okay, go on then ... cos it's yours anyway and we'll end up giving it back anyway.

 

That's the fantasy answer but in reality, few get a higher offer (some do), and when you send back one of the rejection letters accepting offer as partial payment, the bank normally withdraw the offer anyway.

 

I take it the offer was made as a gesture of goodwill and requires you to sign a confidentiality letter?

 

Either send back a rejection letter and expect the offer to be withdrawn and you will go onto make a claim OR accept the offer if you really really need the money right now OR give them a ring but don't expect them to react to your negotiation positively ... but absolutely nothing to lose except the price of a call. Have yet to hear of a bank withdrawing the offer because someone has tried to negotiate a higher deal

Hi thedaddy

 

The only thing I can suggest is that you check out Court Fees - do you have to pay them?

to see whether or not you are exempt from paying the court fee.

 

"

You will be exempt from paying a fee if:

• You or your partner receive the benefit Income Support. Partner means someone to whom you are married, or in a civil partnership with; or someone who you live with as if you are married to them or in a civil partnership.
  
• You or your partner receive Pension Credit guarantee credit.
  
• You receive the benefit Income-based Job Seeker's Allowance.
  Either:
  
• Your gross annual income (your income before income tax and other money is taken away) is less than £15460 and you receive Working Tax Credit with a 'disability element' or 'severe disability element';
  or
  
• Your gross annual income is less than £15460 and you and your partner receive Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit between you.
  

HM Revenue & Customs send you an award notice that shows your annual income. This is your gross annual income. If it is more than £15,460, the court may suggest that you apply for remission. If you receive Working Tax Credit, the award notice will show if you receive a 'disability element' or 'severe disability element'"
