Basically, if you want a speedy settlement, one tactic is to offer the bank the option of settling for a lower amount if it pays out now. How much lower depends on you, so I'm now trying that and if no joy then it's a case of logging the case with the courts.  |
Housemate tried that, she owed them £500 overdraft, they owed her £700 fees, she suggested they called it quits, they offered her £300, she said no, they said "Oh look, we've delayed enough so there's no point you taking us to court thankyouOFT, now, how about that £500?"
Nice HSBC, not.
