Nikki(posted 7971 days ago)On what grounds are you offering 15K? It is not uncommon to settle for 2-3 k according to your financial standing. The most I have ever settled a case for a client is 18k on 102k liability with my client having an asset worth 70K with no mortgage.
Do you have sizable assets? a high monthly income? do you have existing loans which you need to pay apart from this alledged claim? and are you negogiating with the lender or mig or both?
15K is a lot of money to offer and I would only consider this as a last resort if all other avenues of negogiation have been exhausted and my client could afford it!.
I will understand if you are reluctant to detail your financial standing re assets etc but you will not know what can be done until you are a little more adventurous, counter act everything that is thrown at you. If your solicitor suggest 15k you refuse and offer 2k and test the water as they say. I have chanced my arm many a time and drawn immense satisfaction from the results.
Good luck
