Nice one, i once turned down a £250 compensation cheque by dodgy company who came direct to me instead of through my solicitor, they accompanied it with a letter stating why they would win in court and i would have high costs to pay.
Needless to say i went back to my solicitor who, swiftly made a phone call and I had £1800 cheque delivered the same week......without a hint of court.....
Completely different but same moral to the story.......never except the first offer .....its always low on the off chance your silly enough to accept it.
