Been offered half - what shall we do ?

Hi all

Barclays have offered us about £300 when our claim was for a bit over £600.

What should we do - we don't want to say yes too quickly in case they would actually come up with the full £600 later. On the other hand, we don't want them to withdraw the offer if we ask for more.

Has anyone else had the same dilemma ?

Thanks for reading this :)

    Tell them you want the full amount, it's very likely they will pay it all.
  • it very much depends on your financial situation, but I'd keep going. I've been offered half on two of my four claims and I'm holding out for the rest.
  • On the CAG website it says that you can accept a lower amount as long as you clearly state when accepting that this is an interim payment and you will be continuing with the claim for the rest.
