    Try this reply I just wrote to Capital One ;)

    Dear _____,
    Re. Account number: ______________
    Court Claim: 7Q_____

    Thank you for your £xxx.xx ‘gesture of goodwill’ of _th July 2007, which I will gladly accept in full and final settlement of my claim against __________.

    I will contact the court and inform them of my acceptance of your offer.

    Might I suggest that a BACS payment would be quicker and cheaper than a Cheque payment.
    Details for BACS Payment
    Account name: ________
    Bank: ________
    Sort Code: __-__-__
    Account Number: ________

    Once cleared funds have been received in my account, I shall inform the court that I have received my settlement in full and the close the proceedings.

    Yours sincerely,

    Remember that a cheque takes 5 working days to clear your account once you've paid it in :)
