    Quite a way to go to the 12+2 working days being up then.

    Especially with all the damn holidays. :angry:

    It is 12 working days.

    You add 2 to that to account for delivery by 1st class post.

    Once that time has passed, you can send a reminder like this if you want to.

    I don't see what else you can reasonably do?

    You are continuing to pay what you can under the DMP.

    You are being reasonable. It is they who are not.

    They haven't responded to the CCA request, albeit that they haven't exceeded the 12+2 day deadline yet.

    leagl action will result in solictors costs £80 court fee £120
    That is odd; whilst one might doubt that they'd be awarded even those costs of using a solicitor, the claim fee would be £80 rather than £120. The fast-track allocation fee would be a further £40, but that would not be paid when the claim was issued. The hearing fee would be a further £110, which those bullies seem to have neglected to mention.
    please do not simply write as our time limits are now very strict
    Translated: We really need you to telephone us so that we can bully you, intimidate you and get you to panic.
    Does this read like they have rejected my latest offer? should i make another one? why dont they put it simply ?
    It looks like a standard threat-o-gram - and a rather old one at that!

    Just file it with all the others.

    You can still make the offer if you want.

    It does show that you are genuinely trying to sort this.
