[kieranstephens]

Hi,

 

As we all know NatWest have paid up, just b4 court, they asked me to write to court withdrawing my claim but i went into hospital unexpectantly and as yet havent written to the court withdrawing my claim.

 

I havent signed anything saying i would but i will but i just want to know what happens if you don't write to the court withdrawing your claim?

Not sure on this one, does that include all fees incurred by you?

If they have settled your claim fully or you have accepted it as such you shod inform the courts that they have paid you by cheque but the fund are not cleared yet.

 

The court will make a note and if there is hearing due in the next day or so its likely they will ask if you want it stayed pending clearance of the cheque.

 

If you don't tell the court you have settled and any further action is taken by the court e.g. sending out an order or the defendant incurs costs, its likely that the court will make you pay for being unreasonable in your actions.

 

JMHO
