Thank you for your comments. It's not my money:(

Belongs to my son but he has promised his old mum a small reward. It's my Birthday tomorrow so may be treated to a small piece of jewellery.

 

On another note; money not yet in bamk so have sent a reply to Abbey stating if not in the account by the 7th July court bundle will be submitted and court process followed.

Money2me, Have you had your cheque yet?

 

Thing is Abbey did exactly the same thing to me. Made an offer to settle in full before I sent the court bundles but no cheque yet.

 

My court day is (was) 25th July, just after yours and I'm hoping this is not a ploy by Abbey to stop me submitting my bundle so they could then apply to strike out my case.

 

Does anyone know if the offer to settle letter is legally enforceable?

Could they wait until after the deadline for submitting the bundle has passed and then start argueing?

 

I think I'll send in the bundle anyway just before the deadline if I haven't actually received a cheque.

 

What are you going to do?

I haven't heard of this before. Is it a new strategy? I'm nervous 'cause I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them which isn't very far!!!

Apolgies for not replying sooner.

No money in account as yet. Son will phone Abbey tonight to ask when it will be paid in or court bundle will be sent in on 7th and 'see you in court'. Like you don't think they will pay up quietlydespite the content of the letter.

Is your letter from Location Code TS6 BO3 c/o Abbey National House and signed on behalf of Abbey?

If so these are the solicitors acting on behalf of Abbey. My son has just phoned them and he was told that Abbey have sent cheque to them and when they receive it they will send it on to him. Could be another 7 - 10days before he receives it. They said that Abbey had definitely agreed to settle. My son informed them that if cheque wasn't in by 7th July then court bundle is still going in for the 9th as court case is the 23rd July.

I can't believe that so many people are getting different responses and outcomes from the same bank. He goes on holiday on the 16th and returns 22nd. Won't be much of a holiday if he has to prepare for court at the end of it.

Hi Di,

 

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!

Cheque has just dropped onto my doormat.

Oh the relief, I can't tell you.

 

Surely yours will turn out the same.

 

My offer letter was from the same place as yours.

 

Let us know what happens,

Soooo pleased .

My son came home from work last night and said he'd had his money paid in. Now I can relax and choose the piece of jewellery he promised me.

 

Glad it's all over us and hope others waiting stick to their guns and get the money they deserve.
