Auriol Vs RBS **WON**

[auriol]

Just sent my N1 & schedules & pile of letters to the court today. The value is around £290.

 

Wish me luck!

Hi Auriol.

 

If you have followed our well-tried and tested route, then you won't need luck.

 

Regards, Rooster.

Thanks. I followed the letter templates (ish, I personalised them a bit owing to individual circumstance), and then used the N1 template.

They've acknowledged, but no sign of a defence as yet. They have until 27/07 to do so by my reckoning.

They may also file a late defence. Cobbetts are renowned for it and the courts allow it.

How late is late and still allowed?

[hedgey06]

Give them a few days grace. They've been known to submit their defence at least a week late - by which time claimants have applied for judgement only to have their claim stayed to allow cobbetts additional time to submit their defence. This merely delays the claim and buys cobbetts extra time - even though they pay up in the end!

OK, chalk this one up for a win!

 

I got a letter today, by special delivery. It offered full settlement, and enclosed a cheque for the full amount on the court acknowledgement, which included charges, court fees, statutory and contractual interest; a total of £287.91.

 

They have made a number of stipulations on confidentiality, but I will be writing to the court tonight to confirm settlement, then writing to them to tell them I have written to the court, but I do not accept their other clauses.

 

Can someone please move this to the won board and change the title?

 

Catch you all later, if I can help anyone, drop me a line. I'm off to donate and fill out the survey!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Enjoy your winnings! :D

Does this look OK to you guys?

 

I am writing to you with reference to the above letter, dated 19th July 2007. Thank you for the agreement to settle. However, I have some reservations with regard to the terms and conditions you specify. Whilst I agree not to court publicity, I do not agree not to disclose the background or outcome of this matter to any third party, or keep the terms of this settlement private and confidential. Who I choose to discuss my own matters with shall remain my prerogative.

I will therefore hold the cheque for 7 days from the date of this letter before depositing it in my bank account. Should you no longer wish to settle under the terms I am prepared to submit to, then I shall continue with this case through the court.

If I do not hear from you within 7 days, I shall assume you agree to the revised terms and conditions, deposit the cheque and inform the court in writing that the matter is closed and a settlement has been reached.

Just a small point, I wouldnt inform the court until the 7 days is up. What if RBS change their mind and you've already told the courts you have accepted?

That's what I was planning - wait 7 days from sending the letter and only then bank the cheque and write to the court.
