Response to letter from Abbey National

If he wants to settle for #5K Evers would very likely accept such an offer.( care when concluding matter as payment is coming from him, it would only be binding if completed by a deed of compromise or deed of release)

Difficulties could occur once contact was made and the offer not accepted. To avoid this any proposals should be of the record ie mark your correspondence 'without prejudice' he might even say in the text of the letter that the settlement was only on a commercial basis to avoid wasting time but that no liability was admitted at any time.

The question you have not asked is: is there a liability? the answer to that depends on the full facts of the case but it could well be Yes.

Good Luck
