A Victory (of sorts)

Camdenite

Well, A kind of victory:( . I went to court this morning and sat down with about half a dozen others waiting to see Judge Avent at Central London CC at 10:00am. Due to surnames, I was one of the last in and one by one everyone trooped out with big cheesy grins. Apparently Abbey had written to us all settling in full. The judge had copies of the letters, none of us did. Shame they posted them during a postal strike on Friday, and no dubt 2nd class!

It came to my turn and things got a little complicated. Abbey are only settling the original claim of £5,117, not the ammended amount of £14,996. The Court do not have a copy of my N244 ammending the claim, although they acknowledge correspondence with me relating to the fact that it was filed.

With this in mind the judge stated that he would set a Small Claims hearing for some time in Septemeber and I may have to file a new ammendment if the original did not turn up. I gave them 3 copies of the N244 when I submitted but stupidly, only kept a copy of my new revised N1.

Although, I don't have the letter from Abbey, the judge informed me that it was "In full & final settlement" so therefore I cannot bank it, right?

All help greatfully received.

Sorry to Bump

I assume by banking it could be termed as you accepting it in full and final settlement, so no I wouldn't bank it.

Thanks Edinburghlass. I've had nothing in the post so far (they sent on Friday) so I'll come back when I know what it says.
