BW Legal Letter, confused about what stage I'm at!

Well, this was sent on March 3rd. Which would mean this Wednesday is the end of the 14 day window. But....is it a claim form? Or is it an LBC? They did definitely say it was "on hold" over the phone (I know now it wasn't a good idea to call but it was a lengthy process to gather all of the information to support my request the set aside and calling was the only way to get a clear timeline!) but could have been purposefully misleading.

"We are contact you" - missing a gerund there, guys. Honestly, where did these people learn English??!!

I don't think their offer is half bad, if they did provide the court with contact details. The reason it's not bad is you get your £255 back and they can't file a fresh claim at all due to the way they've worded the offer.

However, you got your other costs due to a course of unreasonable conduct, not just them not turning up.  So there was more to it.  But would you get those costs again at a new hearing?  That's the gamble.  And they can certainly re-file a fresh claim.

I agree. You or I might fight this all the way, but it is the OP's time and money, so it is entirely up to them to decide what is the best course of action.

If the OP took the £425, then fought a new claim and lost, it should cost them no more that £175 - £200. In other words they would be out of pocket by somewhere between a fiver and thirty quid.

It will have cost the PPC and their legals a lot more than that, especially if a warrant of control was issued.

Like I said, I would be up for the fight, but it's not my time and money we are dealing with here.

Gotta love litigation. Who blinks first?

Will they really risk good money after bad?
Does the o/p really have stamina to fight this all over again?

No right answers to any of those, but time is also valuable.
