HSBC (merged)

leighv

Hi,

I have taken HSBC to court for 910+interest of 100. With the court costs - this equalled 1130. HSBC have counter offered with 820 - some 300 pounds short of my request - and in reality some 200 pounds short of where I would like to be (not really bothered about the interest).

What are your thoughts and personal experience??? Should I accept, should I counter offer or continue court action?

Many thanks.

I got a letter today telling me that the case had been transfered to my local court - no need to do an allocation questionnaire. I phoned the court and they said I will get a letter from them in the next week but should I do anything in the meantime? It seems taht some people are sending a copy of the charges to DG solicitors - will this give them a bit of a kick to make them realise I am serious? Not sure what to do now....help please!

I have received the standard offer letter - offering £2700 against my £5000 claim (excluding interest) so I am writing to HSBC to tell them it's no good. Anyone in the know have thoughts on the following as the wording for my letter?


Also, is this the right thing to do?

I am writing with regards your letter of 22<SUP>nd</SUP> June, 2007 in which you are offering a settlement payment of £2788.66 in respect the above case for reclamation of penalty charges passed during the passed 6 years.
<O:p</O:p

The amount you have offered represents less than 60% of the total amount owed.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

I find the stated settlement figure to be unacceptable and that the matter should proceed to Court.<O:p</O:p

Any suggestions/ideas/comments?

Personally, after having taken the trouble to take them to court and incur costs in the process, I wouldn't settle for anything less than the full amount plus interest plus court costs. But that is just me.
