    They must be getting desperate! I offered £1 at that stage, they didn't take it.

    saves me the time and effort on going to court.

    You've already done all the stuff that required time and effort! (Mostly the defence & witness statement)

    DCB Legal would have never let this go all the way to a hearing, that was a last ditch attempt by them to get something before they discontinued.

    It's only £10 so no big loss, but is it too late to change your mind? (I'm genuinely interested, for anyone who knows to answer, whether agreeing a settlement verbally over the phone like this is binding?)

    Edit: I just reread and see that it has already been paid, so my last question is somewhat moot!

    @jrc123

    I didn't mean to come across too negative, I'm sure you won't lose too much sleep over a tenner!

    Enjoy your xmas party season and congrats for seeing them off & putting it all behind you!

    Hi all,m quick question i paid the settlement of £10 and have emailed the court and they say the case is still open. I have sent the court today the confirmation email of payment receieved which says:

    Dear

    We email confirming your payment for claim reference XXXX; this matter is now settled.

    We will notify the Court to update their records accordingly.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Email them for a copy of their N279 discontinuation document, seeing as you agreed to the £10 settlement and paid it

    They should notify the court that the matter is settled "out of court "
